World Cup

I'm gonna get wasted, thats for sure. 😮‍💨

one thing this WC; the referees have been poor

I think some of the refs have been quite good.

and as for this weekend, hopefully it'll be one of those where you wake up on monday morning and think "what the $&%* happened there?" and then remember the glorious 3-0 victory over the plucky Danes, I know it will be for me!

prepare for some Very drunken postings at the weekend - If I can get the puter to work in that state!!!

Egad, though, it's alarming when Russia's loss leads to two deaths, isn't it? The England fans have been amazingly calm so far. Did anyone else see the pics of them partying happily with the Nigeria supporters?

It WAS a rather rough and dull ride through to round two today. Not even a single booking! Not like the war that was Germany/Cameroon!

I won't be unhappy if we go out now. We came through the group of death with a win over Argentina; we can be happy enough! More is even better, of course.

We have a really good chance of getting through to the final - since we did beat one of the World Cup expected winners Argentina.

And since France is out - we're pretty much there!

COME ON ENGLAND!

Raz, I'm not sure we are pretty much there, I'm thinking we need to beat Denmark, then Brazil(no push overs) then possible Japan, and then Italy, portugal or Spain in the Final!!!

Actually now you put it that way 8/1 for England winning the World cup doesn't seem to bad!!

It's coming Home, It's coming home.......

And since France is out - we're pretty much there!

go japan! 😄

A Kate Bush song as an ode to Three Lions for the forthcomming game on Saturday

Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I'm in your garden, fading fast in your arms.
The soldiers soften, the war is over.
The air raid shelters are blooming clover.
Flapping umbrellas fill the lanes
My London Bridge in rain again.

Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Peter Pan steals the kids in Kensington Park.
You read me Shakespeare on the rolling Thames
That old river poet that never, ever ends.
Our thumping hearts hold the ravens in,
And keep the tower from tumbling.

Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go.

Oh! England, my Lionheart!
Dropped from my black Spitfire to my funeral barge.
Give me one kiss in apple-blossom.
Give me one wish, and I'd be wassailing
In the orchard, my English rose,
Or with my shepherd, who'll bring me home.

Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
Oh! England, my Lionheart,
I don't want to go.

Yes, a TAD over-optimistic from Raz there, I think!

woa Belgium- Russia sure is exciting 3-2 at the moment and.... Belgium won and are through Good for you Yers

bleurgh! we don't deserve this!
We played extremely poor against Tunesia, we weren't watchable against Japan... and now this...
And I betted we would loose! 🙁

I bet belgium would win this match and got it right, wooo!

luckily I didn't get with you 😄

I'm going up the bookies in a minute to put a bet on England winning 1-0 tomorrow and Owen being the scorer.

May have a couple of outsider bets too, like England winning 3-1 or something. I'll keep you all informed. 😄

england'll probably win 1-0 or something, yeah. but that's as far as you'll come

Mmmmm correct me if I'm wrong, but if we do win 1-0 then don't we get further? 🙄

😂 what I meant is winnin there and qualifiyng for the next rounds is as far as you'll come, you wont win any more

Oh we'll win all right, win the whole damn thing!

*Goes into crazy laughter*

Hahhahhahhaaaaahaahahahahahahahahahahah

Yes, that's the spirit Mech and if we don't win the football we can always win the drinking!!!
