the way the commentator pronounced his name, it's sounds like semen cocks just came on
(yes I am seven years old)

Why did they limit it to six I wonder?

**paul_oshea** · 07/06/2014, 1:54 AM

When we try and be industrious or smart in tight spaces we get it caught in our feet

**pineapple stu** · 07/06/2014, 1:54 AM

Nope; Hoolahan was there beside Cox but doesn't seem to have come on for some reason?

**paul_oshea** · 07/06/2014, 1:56 AM

Did we reach 6?

Nobody. The Costa Ricans saw how well playing a man down was going for them and decided to give us another player.

Completely different team since Hendrick came on. Whelan Green should be 5th or 99th down the pecking order. They bring nothing

Hoolahan's on, not sure who for. Quinn maybe.

**pineapple stu** · 07/06/2014, 1:57 AM

Is Hendrick on? I've missed half these subs! Maybe commentary in English does help!

Really have to wonder why Andrews is sitting at home.

McLean is woeful

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/06/2014, 1:59 AM

The commentator's pronunciation of Hoolahan is spectacular.

**ArdeeBhoy** · 07/06/2014, 2:02 AM

Hoolahan came on for Robbie. Not that it matters.

**pineapple stu** · 07/06/2014, 2:02 AM

Costa Rica have played ok a man down in fairness. Exactly the kind of team England don't like playing (but then usually edge out 2-1 or so)

We've improved in the last 20 or so, but still have been a bit slow in the attack.

Last chance here I'd say

**tetsujin1979** · 07/06/2014, 2:02 AM

all over, draw not an unfair result
if Costa Rica had won you wouldn't hold it against them.

**Razors left peg** · 07/06/2014, 2:03 AM

That was as bad as the Italy game was good, thank god its over!

**rebelmusic** · 07/06/2014, 2:03 AM

Only thing i learned from this is that we have a decent enough 'first' side but we've very very little in reserve

**Charlie Darwin** · 07/06/2014, 2:03 AM

They're blurring the players' faces now. Too late, lads, far too late.

**paul_oshea** · 07/06/2014, 2:04 AM

That was interesting what the manager said

**Closed Account** · 07/06/2014, 2:05 AM

The improvement after Hendrick came on speaks volumes. If you watch our kickoff after they scored you'll see everything wrong with us before that. Kicked off against 10 men and managed to pass it back to our keeper before lumping it long. Too many Irish players afraid to take a risk.
