Interesting that Ivory Coast who beat South Korea 4-0, Scotland 1-0 and France 2-1 in their last 3 games are 9/4 to beat Ecuador ! Also interesting that the only team that have beaten them in the last 10 are Saudi Arabia and they are 13/2 to beat Uruguay tomorrow ! #FIFAWorldCup
@piersmorgan@benstokes38 Its incredible thast professional sportsmen cannot survive without a drink, especially when representing their country. The England coach should tell every player that makes themselves available for selection that they have to give up alcohol. No excuses.
@ilgrandetoro They do it for The Olympics so why not for the World Cup? Would be great if they could stick an hour of highlights on BBC i-player or ITVX available at 6am (only 3 group matches finishing after this time). Most fans could then catch up before they leave for work.
@gamray I would class Brazil as a heavy social drinker rather than an alcoholic, although the line does get blurred between the two. I got the impression that he would be drinking quite often during the week and seemed quite comfortable with people knowing about it.
@NWMYT@Footballtweet Teams not used to the heat are going to suffer if they have really hard games. They might get away with it for one game, but recovery will be harder and performance drop off likely in the next games.
