World Cup. What's The Chances?

[Marvo]

England are through to the quarter finals of the World Cup and there's not even a singly footy thread been started. Are you guys following netball instead nowadays? What's the chances of a win?

 

[Marvo]

Here's some of my favorite highlights

 

[Octopus]

Oh YES we are watching .........................

Shame the VAR refs yesterday hadn't been to Specsavers...........

 

[JAWS]

Need some serious changes for Saturday if we want to continue in this world cup.

 

[buzzlightyear]

You can win on pelantys then !try and keep out of trouble mr kean.

Everyone's watching alright . Its great were through to the quarters and that the draws opened up . I still need convincing and hope to be against Sweden ; no reason why we shouldn't beat them and then it's the semi .Of course it's never that straight forward with England . They've provided some good entertainment so far I hope it continues. Better get the beer in for Saturday .come on England !!!

 

[rsgaz]

pelantys then !try

Are you suffering from "off-work-today-and-have-a-massive-hangover" syndrome too?!?!

 

[telectrix]

did england win then?

 

[Squid]

I find it ironic and hope that the Colombian penalty that hit the cross bar was taken from the same penalty spot the Columbians "studded" just before Englands penalty.

 

[Octopus]

Well, I think England have got a better chance of winning than Dan has of stopping the daily spam

I'm not big into football, but this is one of the best world cups I can remember. Some brilliant games, heaps of goals, surprise winners, big boys going out, and yes I enjoyed a jump up and down in the pub last night.
I don't like to see any game decided by penalties, especially England games, but enjoyed last night

 

[Squid]

Oh and as we are all here the best England World Cup song ever.........

 

[buzzlightyear]

its coming home,its coming home. England coming home. without a single trophy .
three lions on the shirt.England with out a trophy .

Tough, Sweden are a very difficult side to score against, I just cannot call it.

 

[Squid]

Buzz you have issues, I bet you are the sprog of a Polish Fighter pilot and an officer and a gentlemen who dies a heroic death and you where left behind being bought up by a drunk Scottish Irn Bru drinker, I understand the pain, you could be like me, gifted and handsome, hand of friendship if you need to talk then PM me ;o)))))

You need charm and good looks to score in Sweden with the women, looks like you admitted to the fact that you are are lacking in both departments.

Ive admitted nothing

I reckon the two Colombians that missed their penalties will be lucky if they're still alive this time next week.

At least it will teach them a lesson.......

Yes I agree, and the coach should be shot for elbowing Sterling LOL, never seen such a dirty set of players before, I am glad they lost, Sweden however are gentlemen, this match will be much harder for us, we cannot expect a penalty as easy as the one against columbia because the Swedes don't cheat.

 

[littlespark]

Are you implying a little foul play by the opposition here? I thought that only happened when England LOST.

Its also said that penalties are an unfair and wrong way to decide the outcome of a match.... When England lose.

I say this out of jest. I'm Scottish, but I don't believe there should be a "them and us" attitude unless we are playing each other.
We are on holiday just now with pretty dire TV signal, and only caught the last 10 minutes of extra time. We sat and watched the penalties and echoed the "whoooahs" and "Yeeeaahs" of the English holidaymakers around us on the caravan site.
I will be watching the Sweden game, cos there will be nothing else on TV that night.

This may be of interest to someone. A friend of mine has 2 tickets in a corporate box for the England v Sweden game Saturday 7th July. He paid £3000 each including flights but he didn't realise when he bought them that it was going to be the same day as his wedding! If you are interested, he is looking for someone to take his place.

It's at Newbury Registry Office, at 4pm. The bride's name is Helen -- she's 5'4", about 8 stone, quite pretty, has her own income and is a really good cook. Pm for more details.

 

[Kamikaze]

All you Scots and Welsh that have wasted your money on Colombian shirts. If you still got your receipts, you might be able to take it back and swap it for Swedish shirts.

now ,now. you are not saying that England is going to win lol . you will have to wait and see .

 

[Marvo]

^^ Very appropriate...'hold me like you'll never let me go...' there was quite a lot of that going on in front of the Colombian goal area.

I find it hard to believe any sweatie sock will support us, you have been moaning about us for 900 years over something you clans did to each other lol, still if you are on our side then great, back to cheating comments I posted before, the Columbians were appalling, the whole team should be banned for the next world cup, never seen anything like it.

Saw this today near to me.

the only thing missing from the gates are mad dogs ,they say every home is a English mans council house.

 

[Kamikaze]

If the German Waffles and the German Baguette can make it through, then so can we. Mind you if they win this afternoon, the Captain might as well declare Monday a bank holiday because there won’t be anybody well enough to run the starship…lol.
LET THE PARTY BEGIN!!!

Well what a shock result, and to be fair well deserved. Pickford was great though, I feel a cider coming on now, very happy with the match, didn't expect this ending today, 2-0, could of been 3

 

[Marvo]

I didn't see the game but heard it was a well deserved result.

Semi finals....would you Adam an Eve it?

Game on.
