I'm not optimistic on England's chances. They'll want to play on the counter attack but I suspect Uruguay won't let them. Not sure the manager knows any other way.

Yes and he fails to do anything they'll go ballistic at him for not dropping him. Too many armchair managers etcTheScreamingEagles said:

I don't understand why Roy keeps on picking Danny Welbeck, he's a poor man's Emile Heskey.0

Evening all
As I'm sure the football will take care of itself, I'll be catching up on my Ascot viewing.
As an LD, I was gratified by the Ashcroft polling which wasn't quite the combination of Doomsday and Armageddon that some on here were either expecting or hoping for. That doesn't mean seats won't be lost and it doesn't mean the Party won't be facing some tough defences but it offers the possibility of a Parliamentary group after 2015 larger than the Thatcher/Major years if smaller than the Blair/Brown years.
As an aside, I suspect that had we had such polling in 2004 and 2009 it would have shown big potential losses. We know the LD vote is the softest of the main Party votes and it's the one that needs the most effort so the local campaigning between now and next May will be crucial but it does mean some of those seats where Ashcroft shows the party in arrears can be turned round (but that doesn't mean any LD can show a scintilla of complacency).
The Party faces its toughest fight since 1979 to survive.0 -
If there is a red card, what are the odds on it being Rooney?0

@AndyJS
According to the link you gave, it appears that it is mainly unfilled ordinance, and chemicals that are to unsafe to move. The CIA is of the opinion that ISIS would not be able to make anything deploy-able with what is in the sites.
Then again? Their track record is questionable.0 -
Very ordinary half from England with almost no goal threat and precious little football. Got to do so much better in the second half.0
-
I've just remembered that I've got a 7/2 bet on Suarez to score more goals at the world cup than England.0

Is Adrian Chiles watching the same match as the rest of us? Other than a good free kick what have England done?0

The pound rose to the highest in 5 1/2 years against the dollar after the Federal Reserve said it would keep interest rates near zero while the U.K. is moving closer to raising borrowing costs.
[...]
The pound strengthened 1.8 percent in the past month, the best performer among 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The euro slipped 0.4 percent, while the dollar gained 0.3 percent. [Bloomberg]
Sterling's performance has even silenced Mark Senior.

At least we're not going out on penalties.0

Actually my prediction for this match was it to be a draw until injury time, when Luis Suarez dives and wins a penalty, whilst simultaneously biting Gary Cahill and hurling racial epithets at Danny Welbeck.0

I don't know enough about enough parties to judge the truth of that statement (though doubt it for, e.g., Gladstone's Midlothian campaign [ironic joke]). But yes, it is an odd way to spend a day even if they like ice creams. And it does poses some interesting questions about whether some people think other people's heads zip up the back, to use the Glaswegian idiom, when it is so easily demonstrated by citizen journalism [substitute 'cybernattery' if you are Lord Foulkes or Better Together]..RobD said:
