time for Germany to show the world what champions are made of......

awsome video tho....
 
What a ridiculous video - it shows Rooney scoring a goal near the end, but he's NEVER done that in a World Cup!

This time it will be different though, won't it... ? :rolleyes:

KK

Some nations praise/worship their best players. They all get behind the team and there is a real positivity about them going into the world cup.

In England, they call for arguable their best player to get dropped from the team. I think it's this kind of mentality which has held England back over the years. If you make a mistake you will be in the headlines and condemned - just look at how they treated Beckham after his mistake.

I don't live in England but they are the closest home nation to play in this world cup so I hope England do well this time, but it will only happen if the English supports get behind them and stop looking for a scapegoat before a ball has even been kicked.
 
Rooney is heavily overrated though. He wouldn't make a world 11 team, yet the press keep praising him as though he is world class. He's good. But not that good. I shall still be getting behind the lads though :)

I agree - he might not even make the top 50 world class players. He is still worth having in the team though, maybe all this criticism will make him more determined to prove himself. :)

I sure hope so!

I have learnt over the years that when supporting England to always keep expectations low, and still be disappointed! Hopefully the lack of pressure will help us on the pitch though. If we make it out of the group I will be thrilled!

hahaha, so ture. :)

I always get in the mood for a game then after 20 minutes I'm asking myself why I was expecting entertainment. I do hope they can put in the effort and get some results.

I'm from Northern Ireland and even we beat England.... that was a night to remember.
 
Germany and Spain all the way. You heard it here first :D

If I bet on football I would go with Germany. I don't bet on football because you can't trigger a free spins bonus round.:D

I love the Germany accent though, but I'm not sure if this is a good reason to support their football team. :D

Rooney might be somewhat overrated, and may not have scored in a world cup yet, but what people fail to see is his workrate, he tracks back to help defend when England (or Man United for that matter) don't have possession. Some fans will say a strikers job is to score goals, which it is to a point but football is a team game and he puts a shift in more times than not. Even Paul Scholes has had a dig at him, saying he's past his best, though I think he's said this to try and spur Wayne on.

For me he's definitely still our best player, I just dislike his attitude at times - like when he had his outburst after the game v Algeria in the last world cup in 2010.

What annoys me about England when it comes to tournaments is our media, the newspapers and tv programmes like Panorama, they look for any sort of scandal to report which doesn't do any good, it's like they want them to fail at times, it's peculiar. Like The Mirror this morning, reporting Gary Neville was walking around with a sheet of paper that had England tactics on it, what do they do - of course make it front page news for the world to see!

Anyway, as for the winners, my money's on Brazil, would be seen as a disaster for them at least not to get to the final.
 
I can just see the headlines now.

LOL...I think you misunderstood me...
I know England will be home in 9 days.
It's a case of 'England doesn't expect.....'

I meant I hope the stadia (which have been rushed to completion) are safe wherever they are and whoever is playing in them.
 
I say Netherlands, and watch out for a good run from Belgium.....

Brazil are clear favourites though.

Let's hope the stadia are finished OK without any disasters.


I don't usually quote myself but it's nice being right sometimes!!

(Holland thrashed the reigning world champions Spain 5-1 in their opening group game..)

WTG! :thumbsup:

Won't hear much from Incrediblestuff and Lotusch who will be celebrating.....in fact Lotusch by now will probably be pronounced 'Lotussschh'

Seems you were right, nice predication! Can you predict how many spins it will take me to get 5 wilds on DoA?

About England who plays tonight, remember this song? Was it really 18 years ago :S

Yes, needs to be reworded:

"3 pussies on my shirt,
48 years of dog-dirt
There's no more silly dreaming,
just frustrated f*cking screamin'

We're going home, were going home'
England's going home"

etc..

This is really going to be an interesting world cup, first Spain DESTROYED by Holland and now Uruguay annihilated by Costa Rica.

Can't wait for England vs Italy!!

Well, KO in one hour, the way these shock results are coming thick and fast, England may even score a goal against Italy!
 
Well dunover if you predicted costa rica then please send me your tips for rest of tournament . Im going to sound crazy here especially from a Scotsman but I think England will win tonight and also qualify from group.

No, I didn't. Just that Holland will do well, even then I expected nothing like them thrashing Spain 5-1....

LOL..I can just see all the bars in Glasgow with Scots and their Italian flags tonight....

I can just picture Rooney on casinomeister from Brazil making sure we're all supporting him ahead of the big game tonight :)
