    The capacity was 30,000. The stadium holds 50,000.

    This is a world cup and nearly half of the stadium is empty. It's been like that for most games so far. It's a fúcking joke.

    I'd say they were hiding from the Vuvuzela concert

    England screwed up royally by not beating the US and Algeria as expected so you can hardly call the English fans delusional tbf. It was realistic for them to bank on England winning the group,

    Clearly, it was not as EASY as they thought. I picked the USA to win that group. Fans are misled by the hype that surrounds the Premier League. The best players in the EPL are foreign. This English team is second rate.

    Watching it now. Funny how much older the likes of Crouch and Terry look in just four years. Gerrard by comparison looks exactly the same.

    ... and I guess worrying about getting caught could account for Terry.

    Bill said they were there because they thought it would have been England that would be playing. If England topped the group they'd be on tonight.

    They must sign up for their days in advance.

    Wait until you see him again!
