Wrong - I predicted what round England would go out in. It was obvious to any old fool that England wouldnt win it.

My powers of observation may be superb, yours on the other hand...

While I decline to share your enthusiasm at England's loss, I sort of knew you make a triumphant return sooner or later!

OOpps Double post... my bad

Just got back from a good weekend away and watched the game as i recorded it.

WHAT a game! Absolutely brilliant, could NOT have been better.

Rooney - Looses the plot, Beckham - does his foot in, Eriksson - Does nothing, BBC - Blames Rooney at full time and refers to "Britain" instead of England - Hilarity!

Nearly done myself laughing - bye bye England, bye bye!

And know this England, Know this - "I" was right, "I" was right - you were wrong!

YOUR GONNA WIN FECK ALL!

Why - as you seem eager to ask - well, you have no team, no bottle, and no chance!

To win the World Cup you need a team, you have a bunch of individuals.

I now wish you good luck - as i know your going out and it will do you no good anyway.

I stick by my prediction, you'll get past Ecuador, beyond that - history!

Tata England.

Your nowhere near good enough for this competition.

I will start off today by saying that you got away with it again against Ecuador and a small climbdown is in order on my part.

Simply put, i dont think you deserve to be where you are, you've had an easy group and an easy second round against Ecuador and you still managed to look like a poor team in every single game yet you have scraped it.

I had predicted you would go out against whoever you got in the Quater's but it looks like you've been lucky again and fluked another easyish tie against Portugal... To a point...

Deco getting himself sent off was a massive blow to Portugal and with Costinha and possibly Ronaldo missing as well you've spawned a much easier team. However, i think your so poor that you may even go out to Portugal still although im not as confident as before.

And the best of the lot - The Creme de la creme!

I think you've made your point though - might be an idea to tone it down a little

Maybe you'd like to predict when Scotland will next qualify for the finals, I'd go with never

P.S. did you know Honduras are ranked above Scotland

Will do mate - im finished here now anyway - this thread has run its course for me, i've had my fun and rubbed it in and now im done so this here is my last post in this thread! Things would only likely turn nasty from here on in anyway.

Its been emotional!

Tata!

So...your work here is done...

I'll give it another 15 or so minutes for anyone to add anything and then I'll close it down as I don't see any reason for it to continue.

If that's ok with you guys
