[Moving Target]

England will lose, as usual

 

[Sir Frizz]

England wont lose as usual, they are under new management. it will just be very difficult, have faith and they shall conquer

 

[throdgrain]

well said frizz !

 

[old.Kez]

We have to play ourselves? Good god what an outlandish notion! What a wonderfully quirky sport.

Thats what I said

 

[throdgrain]

england are great we will win we always win (even if we loose)

 

[Embattle]

Crap

 

[throdgrain]

not

 

[Embattle]

are

 

[throdgrain]

not not

 

[old.ignus]

we should beat the Argentina as long as we have a referee that isn't as blind as a bat and/ or French. They cheat like fuck and for some bizzare reason get away with it.
Isn't it funny how it's always the country that we defeated in armed conflict that cause us so much trouble in football.

 

[throdgrain]

lol that is true actually.but then at least it gives us the chance to say,like "oh well we kicked you outa the falklands" or whatever

 

[~Lazarus~]

Need to hunt out my

Swedish Argentinian Nigerian scarves.

 

[throdgrain]

welsh/scottish/non-english get ;p

 

[bodhi]

I see England are playing Italy in a friendly soon. shall be good to see them get smacked down before the world cup

Ah well, gives me an excuse to get the Italy top out. Like I need one

 

[throdgrain]

are scotland IN the world cup mate?

 

[bodhi]

No. And neither will England be for much longer

 

[throdgrain]

yes we will ,yes we will ,yes we will.





yes we will.









yes we will.

 

[bodhi]

not judging by the group you're in

Why didn't they just throw Brazil and Italy in for good measure

 

[throdgrain]

im suprised they didnt tbh

 

[Daffeh]

i dont understand whty England werent seeded, i mean they won the group, so surely they should have been seeded?

i dont hold much hope of them getting through that group...

 

[old.Reverend Flatus]

Oh good. Is this another football thread? uke:

Well study their actually record against any of the other seeds and you will see why.

England may be better than they have been since euro96, and slightly better than at the peak of Hoddles time, but they are still dependent on three good players. They wont win dick all, but there should be some great games in that group. Infact everygame seems great.

 

[old.Bose]

Classic.

This is the sort of attitude everyone keeps on about. Always putting our country down. Would you hear Swedish fans saying 'we're gonna do crap', or the Nigerians saying ' no chance'??

Dont think so.

 

[old.Kez]

Cynicism is a british tradition.

 

[xane]

Ah, you can't put Brazil in, oh no, they've got to have the real easy group again, sounds cynical, lets look at Brazil's groups over the last few cups:

2002: Turkey, China, Costa Rica
1998: Scotland, Norway, Morocco
1994: Sweden, Russia, Cameroon
1990: Scotland, Sweden, Costa Rica
1986: Algeria, Spain, N.Ireland
1982: Scotland, USSR, New Zealand
1978: Sweden, Austria, Spain
1974: Scotland, Yugoslavia, Zaire

Notice some common names cropping up again and again, like facing Scotland every other Cup, and Costa Rica twice ?

Seeing as most of FIFA's top knobs come from Brazil and they make the rules about selection criteria ...

 

[old.plightstar]

Well, we will probably make it to the second round, but then again I could be wrong, in the last world cup I said they would, make to the quarter finals

 

[old.Inigo Montoya]

I am Scottish and hope that England do well. Hell they might even win. Wouldn't that be good.

THAT WOULD MEAN THAT WE WOULDN'T BE SUBJECTED TO BLACK AND WHITE FOOTAGE OF ENGLAND WINNING, FOR THE NEXT 35 YEARS. AT LEAST WE COULD WATCH IT IN COLOUR.
