Go on. You know you want to.

England for teh win.

Next!

:o)

**Louis VI the Fat** · 05-28-2010, 00:21

Ooooh I'm so excited!

**Secura** · 05-28-2010, 00:26

Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Pique, Puyol, Albiol, Iniesta, David Silva, Xavi, Fabregas, Torres and David Villa have got it in the bag, methinks.

I haven't fancied England's chances in a football tournament since 1998; I'd love it to happen, but I just don't see it.

**Louis VI the Fat** · 05-28-2010, 01:19

If I had to make a prediction, I'd say:

Spain - but might collapse under pressure
Brazil - duh
Italy - god forbid
Germany - tournament players par excellence, even when they are bad, they make it to final
England - why not, eh? Capello's got his act together
Serbia - surprise package

France is really just waiting for Blanc to take over. The ref will finish the blues off in the last group match against the home country.
Argentina's players are second to few, but they are coached by the Nose of Coke, El Diego. who managed to not select half of Inter's side.

Portugal and Holland for dangerous outsider.

**Jolt** · 05-28-2010, 01:42

I'll reserve my statement of Portugal's probability or not to go far, after the next friendly with Cameroon, a few days from now.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 05-28-2010, 06:55

USA. And we still won't care.

In all seriousness though, I'd like to see Argentina go far because their coach is apparently legally insane. That'll make for some interesting news fodder. And maybe England, because I feel sorry for them.

For the non-clueless followers of the sport, does Mexico have any shot? Or did they only stomp us last year because the game was in Azteca?

Talking of finishing off, wasn't one of your captains shot for treason after France flopped in a World Cup?

England always do well, just not well enough.

Now I need to take a lie down to recover from Rhy's outburst.

Last time a family tragedy of one of the players took out the joy, they absolutely destroyed Italy earlier. Enjoy your cup, had we let Romania win they would have been finito. We have a more offensive team then ever, if we get to dictate the pace down=you

That's all nice and well if you actually can play in the tournament. Oh well with the rising talent Belgium has we might surprise next time. Now let's hope Lukaku will become as good as they say.

Haha, I always supported England to lose. But we were talking about this issue in my history class, and the lecturer pointed out that English fans supported Scotland when England didn't make it to the WC in the 70's, so I've decided to support England, mostly to troll my parents that are Scottish nationalists...
