Well, days really Russ - don't forget that England have qualified from the group regardless, so we're still definitely there until Saturday at least ;)

How do you work that out? We're through to the knockouts, regardless of todays results. Anyway, we'll beat Sweden. They couldn't beat T&T , when we did. :shrug:

Just!

Anyway - i think England will get past this stage and the next, assuming you dont end up with the Germans, but past that - unless you get lucky again and do a Germany last time round - Your out of here!

Nah, I can see why people like him, if you read wikipedia :confused: - interesting bit in bold

Larsson started his professional career playing for HÃÃâ€*’¶gaborg at the age of 17. He subsequently played for Helsingborgs IF and Feyenoord. Although he was finalising the details of the contract with Grasshopper-Club ZÃÃâ€*’¼rich in 1993 he moved to Feyenoord for £295,00 0. Following a complicated contract dispute with Feyenoord, he was signed by Celtic manager Wim Jansen in July 1997 for a fee of £650,000. His debut against Hibernian at Easter Road was less than spectacular: he inadvertently passed the ball to Hibs player, Chic Charnley, resulting in a 2 - 1 loss for Celtic. He didn't fare much better in his first European game, scoring an own goal, although Celtic did run out 6 - 2 winners.

Poor show mate - perhaps you should have read the whole lot as opposed to selecting a few tit bits...

Larsson scored 242 goals for Celtic, in 315 matches, making him Celtic's third all-time record goal scorer (in all competitions). This is more remarkable in the fact that he missed almost a year having suffered a horrific injury, breaking his leg in two places, whilst playing against Olympique Lyonnais in a UEFA cup match in France.

In 2001 he won the "Golden Boot" award for being Europe's most prolific goal scorer, with 35 league goals. His total in all competitions that season was 53. In 2003, he scored two superb goals in the UEFA Cup Final, although opponents Porto went on to win 3-2. His goalscoring feats on the continent for Celtic mean he holds the record for number of goals scored for a club from British Isles in European matches.

Scotland, Wales and NI didn't even sodding well qualify. At least England have a chance of winning!

Actually, as you probably know, I work with a Scot, and we went through our predictions for the knockout stages. Obviously, it depends on todays results, but we both thought that England would get through to the semi-finals (beating Ecuador and Portugal in the 2nd round and quarter-final respectively), and then lose to Brazil. Mind you, we reckon Argentina will stuff Brazil in the final as well, so who knows :D

Yeah, but why should the England, Wales, Scotland or Ireland fans accept failure in the World Cup? Any one of those teams could (theoretically) win the Cup. What's so wrong with having hope?

In all seriousness tho, I dont think england will get past the germans, and ecuador could cause an upset too. Either way the next round is gonna be a tough match, and i cant see Germany losing so early in the tournament.

The portuguese :) will beat england (again) if theey meet before the semis

TBR, I was winding you up, mate :)

I was born in Govan, Glasgow - they take to the Celtic match on the way to get Baptised, that way you get both religions on the same day :tu:

It's not looking good - Owen trips over a daisy in the first minute and is stretchered off and all the action seems to be in the England half...

Not all bad... Joe Cole & Rooney are looking very sharp...

Russ 20-06-2006 21:30
Re: The anyone but England thread!
 
I agree about Rooney - he's looking devastating.

punky 20-06-2006 21:34
Re: The anyone but England thread!
 
What was that I was saying about Joe Cole? ;)

Goal of the tournament surely. Reminds me of Yeboah, the king of 30+ yard vollies.

Russ 20-06-2006 22:07
Re: The anyone but England thread!
 
Now THAT was a goal.
