Off Topic Qatar World Cup Thread

Germany because we wupper their ass in two world wars and a world cup and Spain because England own Benidorm.

 

Sounds about right Wakey

 

Not at all. Tough as well.She loves to wind up those feminists

 

You could be right Brissie. They are hard to break down and have plenty of team spirit.

 

Yet again the Scot’s called it right.

Why can’t we fail to qualify too, and save all the heartache?

 

Was enjoying the WC immensely until about 8-45pm last night. When your country is competitive and can give anyone in the world a run for their money it's always a brilliant occasion. In general international football can be a borefest but once every 4 years in the knock-out stages it gets very special.

Oh well at least it's taken my mind off all things Leeds United and throwing three points away down at Tottenham...doh

 

Thanks for reminding me of the Tottenham debacle. I had forgotten that

 

exactly Jammy… it’s why it’s not worth rising to the attempted baiting from the Scots, the Irish and the Welsh at being knocked out. The poor little fellas will never understand what it’s like to drink at the top table - so let them snipe away. It would be churlish to respond.

It’s just their way of trying to be involved in something they’ll never experience… trying to gatecrash a party they’ll never get an invite to. Bless their cottons, I say. Let them have their schadenfreude.

 

Let’s be honest. Our form has been shocking since the euro final. The wins against Iran and Senegal got us overhyping our chances again.

 

Thanks - a lovely montage of two world class English sportsmen

 

yes our form between world cup semi, euro final and World Cup quarter has been occasionally patchy. What have Ireland, NI, Scotland and wales form been like in-between their major tournament knockout phases?

 

I hope you’re not including me in that. I’m not Welsh, Scottish or Irish. Just a bit of banter Milky

 

Nice image. Just missing the key: “an island where the parts marked in grey obsess and fantasize about having a football team like the part in orange.”

 

you’re Essex mate, same thing

 

If truth be told I’m 50% French (frog) 50% English (toad) 100% reptilian.

 

I might be wrong but I think France is in grey

 

Well you’d be wrong about france being an island.
