Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The curse is broken. Dare to believe. There's got to be a feeling around England now that's been missing.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Was at Old Trafford watching cricket again, England got thrashed TBH, heard the England goal from the shout of people watching on the big screen. We where just leaving past the same screen when Columbia scored. Had an iffy wifi connection on the tram so switched off my phone expecting the worst.


Only found out that England had won when I heard the cheering from pubs as I walked home.


Just watched the shoot out on playback, it really did look like England had been practising.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

A point to ponder, if by some miracle England make it to the final then Columbia at #16, four places below them will be the highest ranked team they have beaten. Only if they actually win the final will they have over achieved.

Have to say though that when Switzerland and Poland are ranked 6 & 8 is does make the rankings look a bit silly.

The rankings to sum them up are what l would call utter codswallop Jim.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

They've been revised. Unsure when it takes effect. My new sig takes effect immediately though.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Naturally I only know of it from text or documentary videos. The actual reason I'd heard about it though was due to the monumental blunder Alan Hansen made a few days later, seen via footballs infamous moments documentary.

in regards to a defensive blunder. You couldn't make it up.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

More amusing fact this time. Neymar has spent 14 minutes on the floor during the World Cup. Revered in Brazil but he's quickly becoming a hated player worldwide.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Maradona thinks we're cheats.... i think he might just be a hypocrite....

Predict England will get knocked out by Croatia in the semis on penalties. Great performance all the same. France are going to win this.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

I think he might just be a coked up fat alcoholic. Who am I to speculate though...oh aye, its not speculation. All whilst he's sat in a Colombian top that doesn't fit round his bottom half. Just stop Diego.

---------- Post added at 23:10 ---------- Previous post was at 23:07 ----------

I'm not worried about any team. It an open cup. France have scraped past every game thus far or ridden their luck, bar Denmark who they drew against. France are there to be had, Brazil too. England following that trend. Its so open there could be an outside shock. Uruguay have certainly got enough to dump France out.

Re: 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Diego given a kick up the arse.

Falcao was no different, except he was literally on the field, absolutely deluded to be questioning the ref given the antics of the Colombian players that night. The referee did extraordinarily well to keep 11 of them on the field. Falcao has always been a dirty arse anyway, couldn't cut it in England and has been bitter since, guy pulled a Fernando Torres better than Fernando Torres... As for Diego, his anti-England agenda is boring, as above, he's not significant anymore, his legacy tarnished by drugs, booze and sour agendas. Could you imagine Pele or Gerd Muller being half as a muppet as this bloke?

At the end of the day, Colombia came in with Panama-esque tactics and were mere spectators as they watched it gloriously backfire, good riddance to another craphouse of a team.
