Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
It'll be tight, tight, tight. None of the teams have really impressed. Uruguay and France have both struggled, Mexico play some good stuff but are profligate.

Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
We bring a pretty good team, defense is weak but we have plenty of offensive power.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: The unofficial World Cup Thread,
Agreed on Spain but I think England's chances are quite good, too. I positively loathed how English team was hyped by media and fans prior to earlier tournaments, when it was clear to anyone that there is just not enough quality to do anything. This time round, England has a good side overall with a few world-class players and a coach with strong personality who can actually mold them into a team (arguably, that's what England lacked the most). Quite the opposite now, media and fans are cautious and team is actually capable of achieving something big.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

I get the feeling Australia won't get any further than last time.
