Course he will. Its all a cunning scam.

Anyway, where is everyone watching it ? Is anyone going ? What about England's destiny.

As for me, I know I'll be watching the Eng v Trinidad game in Ibiza and a big BBQ at a friends for the Paraguay game.

I did apply for tickets but no luck

As for England..................Semi's.

You reckon?

Why would th FA do that? Now come to think of it he went down near full time with a fake face of pain.

I just keep fingers crossed he will be well for the first game.

Roony will make the world cup - no doubt about it.

I think england need to win the group if they want to progress beyond the following round. I expect germany to top their group, and an england v germany game is on the cards if england finish second. I cant see germany losing so early in the tournament - home advantage and all that.....

TheBlueRaja · 22-05-2006, 13:46

England get Brazil in the semi's dont they if they win through?

Ah well.

You are right I can't remember a host nation not getting beyond the second round ever, even countries like Korea and USA managed it.

England to just sneak out of the group phase and lose in the next round.

Don't know about that at least Sven seems more positive this time round though and that can't be a bad thing.

Feed the Brazil team a few lasagnes and England might have a chance. Possibly.

Maybe we should take the Italian football approach and bribe them all ?!

I just don't know why it took so long for the powers that be to realise, anything that Berlesconi is involved with is invariably crooked, it does make me wonder if it spread to the national team, seeing as some of the players have now been implicated to.

TheBlueRaja · 22-05-2006, 14:44

Can anybody see past a Brazil v Germany final?

France possible outsiders?

I would say Spain too but they always seem to bottle it.
