As a Liverpool Fan - Give Captain Fantastic (Stevie G to you) a free to roam will certainly give us good chance of winning it IMHO.

I am really looking foward to it !!! Bring it on !!!


That was one of the warming sights for me at the cup final,SG banging home the equaliser from such a distance.
There is another player capable of hitting such shots,Steven Ried at Blackburn who i would prefer to see in the squad rather than Hargreaves who i think is a dead loss.


and Phil Neville is included in the stand-by now after injury to Reo-Coker (excellent player) !! .. what wrong with Kevin Nolan, Steven Reid like you said.

Everytime they bring on Hargreaves ime waiting for something special to happen,i know others will argue that we dont see him play as much as Sven,but all the times ive seen him he's just mediocre.
surely its time to say to the bloke wether hes good at club level or not,sorry!,you just dont cut it at international level specailly when players like Gerrard and Reid can turn a game on its head with just one shot out of nothing.

You are all clearly confused. The real world cup doesn't take place until next year, and it's in France, not Germany.

Sadly I think the chances of England winning either are roughly equal...

anyone doing a world cup fantasy football team would be best sticking in defenders you know will go out in the first round but not leak too many goals then stick adriano and co up front. years of doing them have taught me that goals are better than clean sheets and the USA defence look like they would fit the bill for me. they wont qualify and they shouldnt concede too many.

couldnt believe crotch missed the penalty, when will england players learn to just f*****g whack it at the back of the net and stop all this stupid placement nonsense! run up, whack it, end of story!

I have us down for semi final misery against brazil....

It's Brazil v England in the World Cup.

Ronaldo goes in to the Brazilian changing room to find all his team mates
looking a bit glum.

"What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated for this
game. We know it's important but it's only England. They're so poor we can't
be bothered." Ronaldo looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat them
by myself, you lads go down the pub." So Ronaldo goes out to play England by
himself and the rest of the Brazilian team go off for a few jars.

After a few pints they wonder how the game is going, so get the landlord to
put the teletext on. A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "Brazil 1 -
England 0 (Ronaldo 10 minutes)" He is beating England all by himself! Anyway
a few more pints later and the game is forgotten until someone remembers
It must be full time now, let's see how he got on" They put the teletext on.
"Result from the game: Brazil 1 (Ronaldo 10 minutes) - England 1 (Beckham 89
minutes). They can't believe it, he has single handedly got a draw against
England! They rush back to the Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in
the dressing room, still in his gear, sat with his head in his hands. He
refuses to look at them. "I've let you down, I've let you down" "Don't be
daft, you got a draw against England, all by yourself. And they only scored
at the very very end!"



"No, No, I have, I've let you down!. I got sent off after 12 minutes"

With Serbia & Montenegro qualified for the World Cup but with Montenegro having declared independence last week, is this the first time that two separate countries have entered a World Cup as one...?

No mate, the REAL World Cup is next year, you're right about that, but it's in the West indies in march ...
