Fair enough, I won't mention Brazil then. But all those 'anyone but england' fan boys are saying England won't win because they've been unimpressive. But if most of the other teams have been unimpressive too (which they have IMO with a couple of exceptions), why do they think England don't stand a chance? You can't have it both ways.  |
After all, it doesn't matter how bad you are, as long as you are better than the other teams.
One thing I really don't understand is being shown in this thread. Barring any previous racial problems (which we have been told are irrelevant to the discussion) between the English and Scots (and to a certain extent, the Welsh), why can certain members note be happy that at least one team in our Kingdom is doing OK. Why have the attitude that "My team have failed, everyone else should too"?
I personally want England to win the world cup. They probably won't, but they seem to be having a go at it. But, I would be perfectly happy to see Scotland, Wales or Ireland do well, or even Win.
