World Cup - It is our year!

[Lethul]

lol at this.

UK isnt one country

NI is part of the UK

so if UK is made out of 4 countries, does that make NI a single country?

 

[Aiteal]

Think Northern Island is just a part of the British Isles and not the UK anymore, but not sure there! :/

hehe
It's technically the United Kingdon of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
With Great Britain being made up of 3 countries (England, Scotland and Wales)

The British Isles is a geographical description that refers to the islands of britain, ireland and the little ones like the isle of man

 

[Infanity]

hmmm, its called götaland nub. but hmmm. ok. still strange that its called UK sometimes and sometimes england etc. and like the other guy said before. is "Northern Ireland" one country too? or is it just a part of the country Ireland that also belongs to United Kingdom?

UNITED KINGDOM! WE ARE A KINGDOM UNITED MATE!

Gerrard's back is worring me...Im getting the sinking feeling of turning the TV on at 1.30 on Saturday and seeing Hargreaves in the line up

If Stevie G is out then Sven MUST play Carrick, if he plays Hargreaves or Carragher in the holding role I will go nuts, no one has looked better than Carrick playing that role in recent years. Carragher is decent but I don't believe in playing people out of postition at a World Cup.

no idea, but just because we are on the same island doesnt mean we are the same country, although we share the same army and such, kind of hard to explain i guess, be happy that it just is

Fair do then, cheers for clearing that up Haven't done Geography in god knows how many years now, so I'm a little rusty when it comes to this kinda bollocks.

not everyone was awake during school

 

[Aiteal]

yes
NI will field its own team in things like the olympics, the world cup and the commonwealth games (and do very badly)

However it has a joint team with the Republic of Ireland in rugby
The team is simply called Ireland

ok then..

United States of Skandinavia

 

[Nosufer]

We English love hammering the jocks

I have a good feeling this year, i was a bit worried at first, but now Rooney si fit i think we have a team to rival the best in the world.

Regarding UK teams and how we look at footy and why we don't have one united team, us English say things like

"hmm Brazil are looking good this year"

where as our Scottish friends in the swamps up north say

"Iraq are looking real tasty this year"

 

[Marc]

I have this feeling every world cup, only to be let down :< what makes it worse is you just know we will get to the final or semis then got knocked out and all the scandanavian trolls will be on here lolling. Hi lethul!

 

[[NO]Subedai]

question is whether he is match fit thought, however didnt he score a hatrick in the champ league on his debut after been injured for like 4-5 months.

In the most recent game between Scotland and England, we (Scotland) won!!! So techincally, we can boast about being better at the moment hehe (Dont mention any failures to qualify for meaningful competitions, its not fair since we had Mr Vogts as our manager )

Gazza flicks the ball over Pamela Andersons head and slides the ball past Andy Goram

I do believe that was an England victory

 

[Yardoa]

Come On England!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats was 6 years ago! I'm talking about the play-offs for the 2002 World Cup England won the first leg 2-0 at Hampden, but Scotland won the 2ng leg 1-0 at Wembly

But I must admit, Gazza's goal was rather superb

 

[Raven]

god i am almost moist, just over 6 hours to go.

*also supporting Costa Rica as i have them in the sweep stake at work

I hate to poop on everyone's parade but we're gonna get kicked to death by Sweden. We're lucky if we reach the 1/4 finals (which we wont)

We've not beaten Sweden in 34 years.

I surpassed moist 2 days ago, the beer is open, the weather is hot, its going to be gooooood day.

you calling me a troll? how rude :-( i promise i wont lol, mainly because you have my fav player gerrard in your team!

and regarding swe-eng, england may not win. but neither will sweden, i think i saw on some tv-show a couple of days ago sweden havent won vs a better seeded team in like 20 years either. we can play draw but we cant win

isnt Skandinavia a country? the USS

United States of Skandinavia

nope
if we were we would have such a winter olympic team tho

one final question! how big impact do you really think a coach has in the WC? isnt it still up to the players in the end? ive read that Svennis gets alot of shit in english pres and i dont understand that. like our swedish national hockey manager said, "i dont take any credit for this gold, its all the work the players put down in to it. atleast i know when i was a player i never listened to the coach":ish thats a better mentality

 

[Lamp]

I'll happily go to Sweden

After we've done Sweden we should go to Norway

Norwegian blondes 4tw

England will probably get on better if they dont listen to him hehe I've always wondered how hard it is to get players to stick to tactics when their skill does their talking rather than the tactics. I do hope England do well in this WC (but not win it, that would be unbearable hehe) Their midfield is the best in the competition, and really, I think Sven can only throw it away!

 

[Phooka]

i still don't understand why the scots wear skirts and the english dont.. as the english clearly are bigger pansies....

 

[Lamp]

IMO, anyone who extolls their manliness by wearing a skirt when the rest of the male population on the planet is wearing trousers is either (a) mad (b) stupid (c) still living in the dark ages (d) gay (e) without common sense (f) without a sense of fashion, or (e) all of the above.

PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES

Go back to the Trossocks and knit some tweed televisions
