You'll have to add an explanation of what the 'World Cup Finals' are. Not many people round there will know :D
True the last time Wales got to the Finals churchill was still alive. ! :Yikes:

Don't be daft man! We know what they are! After all, every 4 years our newspapers are full of the excuses given by the players after getting unceremoniously dumped out of them by Germany or Argentina in the quarter finals (or when you get lucky, the semis - except of course in USA 94 when Turnip Taylor ensured you joined Wales by staying at home....) :)

And the most amusing thing is, I can tell you genuinely believe that!

Can't wait for the excuses next year when some team like France or Portugal knock England out in the quarter-finals. Will it be "our players were tired", "Beckham got sent off" or maybe an Alex Ferguson-inspired "Our players couldn't see each other because of the kit"?

Bookmark this page if you want, take a screenshot if you like because I give you this assurance - England will not win the World Cup next year. If they do - and get this - I will permanently change my signature to 'England Forever' :)

So what's going to be different from the last few years' efforts? The addition of Peter Crouch??

BBKing 09-10-2005 11:10
Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 
The addition of Wayne Rooney. You must have heard of him, surely?

Russ 09-10-2005 11:14
Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 
Ah yes. The one player who will change England from being quarter-final losers in to World Cup winners??

Even I'm not that ambitious!

Agreed he's one of the best Strikers in the world england would have won Euro
04 if he hadn’t got injured.

Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 
Well, I don't think we'll win it, but having one of the world's best players in the side can't hurt. Remember we had Heskey alongside Owen against Brazil in 2002.

Russ 09-10-2005 11:22
Re: The Football Thread 2005/2006 Season
 
Naturally I'm full of admiration for Rooney but the additon of him won't win it alone - the firepower is there (apart from when Crouch is up front) but I don't see it in the rest of the team. Beckham isn't the player he was 5 years ago (not that England came close to winning the World Cup - or anything - back then) and Rio is hardly firing on all cylinders. The Chelsea connection of Cole/Lampard/Terry (along with Rooney) is the only thing I think England can base their hopes on.

You still won't win though :D

Bernabeu bosses plot January bid...........

Quote:

REAL MADRID will make a £20mill ion move for Thierry Henry in January.
And the Spanish giants believe they have a great chance of capturing Arsenal's 28-year-old superstar striker.
Madrid aim to ruthlessly exploit the news that Henry has cancelled all contract talks with the Gunners until next summer. The Spaniards are aware that will leave the French hero with just one year of his current deal.
So Bernabeu bosses will gamble that Highbury's top brass will sell in January rather than risk losing him on the cheap next summer.
NOTW

Ooh, credible media source. Not. I'd possibly swap Henry for Fernando Torres, come next year. Him and Reyes are a top pairing. But how much better to have all three *drool*. OK, a man can dream.
