[M11BMO]

Bad news for Bamba.

Probably bad news for Ivory Coast in general.

Cheating bas anyway, sport is better off without the likes of him.

Nae sympathy for that cheating so and so.

Presumbaly did it throwing himself?

[Hibernian Verse]

Presumbaly did it throwing himself?

No, actually, Tulio caught him with his knee in a ridiculous flying challenge after the ball was gone.

I don't see how this benefits anyone, surely we want the IC to do as well as possible.

Next thing Messi, Ronaldo and Rooney will be out of the world cup and it will be crap

Well, I do. I very rashly predicted in my works World Cup sweep that they'd make the final.
It seemed a long shot then, more so now.

and Ferdinand is out

[Hibs90]

Does anyone know if Sol played in the match at all today?

Nope, stuck on the bench. FFS Sven what you playing at :grr::greengrin

[Lofarl]

well Drogba got injured so he would not want his star man getting a injury too. Smart move Sven.

Reports are that Drogba has fractured his elbow and will miss the World Cup...

Wrap him in cotton wool until the final where he will set the world cup alight!!
