Anyone seen Germany play of late?

They look awesome and not at all German-like.

Free-flowing attacking-minded football with a lot of young excotic names in their squad.

They could end up as one of the highlights of the tournament really.
[/quote]

Who normally starts up front for them these days ?

how did the england players come up with 'wazza'?

wayne

rooney

= wazza

???
[/quote]

It's a strange hybrid of Wayne and Gazza. He's the new Gazza so he is Wazza.

Oh and their idiots.
[/quote]

Nah, in England people just often tend to end nicknames with 'az' or 'azza'.

Well that's probably their main challenge but perhaps Klose? Gomez? Kiessling? Cacau?

They've got a lot of creativity in their midfield and on the wings too so it's probably not that important anyways.

Anyone else care to share their World Cup tune?

Has Slovenia got one?
[/quote]

I doubt you'll want to hear it, it's really really shit. Unfortunately I think it's even the official tune of our national football team, not only for the World Cup.

Anyway here it is, the video featuring all goals scored and conceded in the qualis.

DVIGA SLOVENIJA ZASTAVE - Slovenska pot do svetovnega prvenstva
[/quote]

haha cheers mate..

Fancy your chances at the World Cup?

How's your starting XI going to look you reckon?
[/quote]

Just qualifying for the World Cup has been excellent alone and progressing through the group stage would be the biggest success in our football history so far. The starting XI is almost certain to be the same as against Russia (though I don't believe these names tell anything to you, heh).

S.Handanovic
Brecko Cesar Suler Jokic
Birsa Radosavljevic Koren Kirm
Dedic Novakovic

Ljubijankic might take Dedic's place in attack as he did get a nod over him against New Zealand, however I hope not as he's pretty much lazy and useless. I also think Matavz should be given a chance, he's scored 13 goals in his first full season for Groningen in Eredivisie but he probably won't see a lot of action as he's only 21 (also uncapped I think) and the manager prefers experienced players.

I backed them at 16/1 during the week.
 
It's all building up nicely here!

yep we'll probably fall short again, but in rooney and capello we've got 2 reasons for even the most pessimistic of us to hope.

just thinking about how hilariously devastated all the celts would be if we somehow manage it makes me all warm inside.

i think our defence will let us down ultimately, though.
[/quote]

I think we'll get to the semis. Unfortunately I suspect we'll then come up against Brazil. Game over.

Rooney
Crouch

I thought not, but you've got me doubting myself now. In any case, if it isn't them it'll be Spain, so the same applies.
 
Ha, the yellow bars on SSN says their world cup report is coming up at 7pm! I can hardly wait!

I like how they have some Sky HD billboards up linking it to the world cup and England, omitting the fact they don't have the rights for any games.

According to the wallchart I've got, Brazil, Spain, Holland and Italy are all in the other side of the draw. We're in the easy half with Germany, Argentina, France and Mexico.

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Dunga has said England is the team he fears most.
[/quote]

He has always had a great sense of humour.
 
Yep, just look at Lucas. I bet he dropped him when he read the infamous O'Tomkins post, for a laugh.

Not because he's fucking shit or anything like that

I like Dunga now

Almost right. France aren't going to make it out of their group.

That's my feeling too.

But what I meant was the two sides of the draw. England can't play Spain or Brazil until the final, right?
