The Beautiful Game

[happy_Alex]

The world cup is here, after 4 years! A chance for nations to compete in friendly rivalry and to share the joys of skill and football camaraderie....


COME ON ENGLAND



second favourites! woooooooooooooo! yeh ! Alright!

(ooh, I had an American moment)

I'm cautiously realistic about Englands chances, that said though I will be watching tomorrows game as if someone had tied lead to my feet and propped my eyes open with an inhuman device ala A clockwork Orange

C'mon England!

I think we can beat Paraguay convincingly if we play to our game and don't do what we usually do in the early games of the world cup, put on a dishearteningly average performance and make our qualification for the next round less than a foregone conclusion.

 

[Pyrite]

I hope england wins!

C'mon, you know England loves her traditions.

..and there's nothing more traditional than playing crap in the first game and losing, or drawing against poor opposition.

 

[Sidhe]

Stop it you making me all misty eyed

We hate gnawing our hands off watching the games though, it's like having needles inserted into your finger nails sometimes.

Winning a game that you need to stay in the World Cup in the 92 minute is conduscive to heart failure. Remember that Beckham free kick against Greece, Jesus I nearly wet myself when that went in?

 

[Kozmos]

Well England is my 2nd or 3rd favourite.
