It’s also 39 years since we won the world cup
We finished the groups stages with the second best record in Europe
As I’ve said since Ive been on JC, we have a team with the potential to be the best there is, our fate lies in our own hands next year-
I think football is coming home in 2006
I’d love to think you are right, Slayer.
A good draw, I think, but it was never going to be as bad as last time. The tests will come in t’knockout rounds. I think we’re better than we were in Japan. If everyone stays fit, we should go a long way. I can’t see beyond Brazil, though, if everyone plays to potential. Germany always give it a good go too, regardless, it seems, of the quality of their squad. At home, I’ll expect them to be there or thereabouts.
:lol: It is so much more exciting than Chrimbo. I’ll be lucky not to explode before June.
England should qualify for the knockout gig easily.. but securing first place in the group will be vital methinks.. and Sweden will prove difficult.
As for winning the whole thing :?.. No chance.. they have a manager with a palpable fear of heights :? I see them reaching at least the Quarter finals… Semi finals tops.
Methinks Italy are strong.. they came to Dublin recently, and for the first half hour played with a gusto and purpose that was a breath of fresh air from an Italian team. They battered us to bits (not too difficult nowadays, but they were awesome), and this new found urgency coupled with their perennial tight professionalism will make them a force to be reckoned with.
Together with an on-song Brazil and typical work-horse Germany.. I can’t see any other team doing it.
With great enthusiasm, and much optimism, I got an England v Italy final that, of course, England were triumphant in. We have got a lovely road to at least the semis, I reckon.
I agree with many here in respect that we can bring the world cup back to the home of football, and i will enjoy the world cup and support england with as much passion as i always have before.
Only if we play together as one side and not as a goalie and 11 egos will we truly succed though.
The problem with England is too much complacency at times, not enough communication, thats the only weakness where any of those teams.. particularly sweden…would be tricky at all.
man, you’ve only got to look at previous international tournaments
cameroon, czech republic, south korea ffs….teams that all have pulled rabbits out of the hat before and surprised us all.
..and the fact that england always manage to end one or more games in the opening rounds with a draw lol…..millions of bitten lips in england every four years. too early to predict results but rooney will be a major factor in this tounament….as will the whole team which in my view of late has never had so many class players in the team.
come on boys
nanana nanana
and a bucket of vindaloosorry dumbass here
goalie and ten egos..fs
:oops:
6/1 second favourites now with most bookies, because of their easy 1st stage draw.
Surely this dastardly deed wont take place. I can imagine myself as a 50 yr old man watching reruns of the year England brought the cup home in 2006.
NOOOOOOOOO. Id there’s a God he wont allow that to happen.
Lets all say a prayer to him just in case.
Our Father who art in Heaven. Hallowed by thy name……If it was scotland were in it and england didnt qualify….i’d support scotland
Well I dont care what you’d do, I aint supporting England. They’re so gay and arrogant. :D
Bad you stick to your guns! dont support england! i wouldnt support any other country if england werent in it, well id support the country that i put a few quid on but thats it!
so sweden? should be ok to be honest,
paraguay? a good striker but thats it as far as iv heard ok there is always one team that shocks everyone but i dont think we will have a problem with them
trinidad and tobago? first time at the finals well done to them getting this far but i cant see them getting through the group phases
england
paraguay
