I believe ENGLAND can win the World Cup!

[William of Walworth]

its called freedom of speech (that thing that so annoys all of you)

Clearly a completely braindead moron : equating my criticism of your negative sneering and sniping with some sort of attempt to 'censor' your 'freedom of speech'

and how dare i say anything about dear old england

Say what the fuck you want, so long as you don't mind coming over as a bitterminded, smallminded ABE type, and being reacted to appropriately.

english---the americans of europe

So root positively for another team then, if thats how you feel!!

I note that your post does nothing to answer my questions from my previous post ....

Was quite impressed with the Argies, Ivory Coast gave them a scare but they held on, they were street-wise if you like. England will improve I'm sure, still think that the tactics of Sven are a worry though. Looking forward to Brazil the neet.

LOL! Are you serious? Argentina will win it.

They might win I don't know because I'm not gifted with future sight, but what I've always said always said all along is that it's a fair assessment to say that England have about the same chance as Argentina to win it.

Argentin did impress me (but nt suproise me - they're one of the bets teams in the world) against Ivory Coast (though the Ivorains did come close to a draw and the onyt major differnce was that Argentina knew how to go in for the kill a little better), but England can play at the same level. Man for Man in the first XI I'd say England and Argentina are a pretty close match, but England have the slight edge in psotions such as the central defence.

 

[William of Walworth]

So you don't like the English or the Americans. Any others?

Any teams you actually positively favour, jammer? And for reasons other than that they might beat England?

When Scotland (or Wales, or Ireland) are in a campaign, I support them.

I don't expect you to actively support England, at all, but you're coming across as a sniping sneering ABE twat.

Up to you if you want that, but you can only expect a response!

I think all the ABE is fucking tedious as well, William, but then none of the other local nations are in the World Cup, so there's crap from Ireland as well as the usual shit from Scotland, Wales, and the English anti-England brigade.

Well, the fact is that ingerland stuff is in our faces 24/7, without having done anything exciting in recent years, a coach with no plan b and a few world class players, it's the arrogance that winds us up.

But this is because we're in Ingerland!!! Who do you expect to hear about?!

Don't blame the more intelligent England fans (and there are some!!) for the OTT bollocks of the stupider parts of the media.

I'm pretty critical of the dismerits of Sven and the England team when they deserve it, but it really pisses me off when people come steaming in like jammer does.

Off to catch some of the France game now! I'll judge what I see of it on its merits.

 

[Obnoxiousness]

LOL! Are you serious? Argentina will win it.

I am very serious. England, I would rank as 2nd in the World at this point in time.

Brazil I would rank as #1 technically, BUT...... England cannot be under estimated this time around as a football team that could lift the WC.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I don't think Argentina will win it either. The Czechs have been most impressive so far.

Nobody though has commented on my point that the mighty 1998 France team also laboured to victory over Paraguay in 98.

Well, I could point out that our 4-2 victory over croatia 2 years ago was somewhat more interesting than brazil's laboured one last night.

The most amusing thing is that a lot of them seem to be Man U fans and moan about people who are ABU...
