Already that joke is so old, it's cringeworthy. It's not even correct either.

Are those Japanese names for real? I though Dixons made Matsui up....anyway, I'm tipping Panasonic to score their third.

Well it does kind of help to have your team there if you want to be taken seriously... :)

Thankfully the rest of the world doesn't share that view - does same apply in the domestic game if your team gets booted out of a cup tournament or is that different?

The rest of the World that didn't qualify you mean, like Welsh/Scottish/Irish criticism of our performances means anything, no ones listening Russ, we are to busy at the World Cup.

No that's very different, obviously you wont know the difference though as Wales haven't qualified in your life time.

I heard that the England/Germany rivalry is pretty much one way. That is Germany they don't consider us any more of a rival than France/Italy and so on?
