World Cup thread

Don't bet on Spain. They have had a fantastic few tournaments but they will now go into a transitional period where they groom the next team.. wait about 10 more years and we will see.

 

I remember seeing the greats but there were some **** games as well.I René!her my gather going to watch the Portugal v North Korea game at Goodison Park in 1966

 

Reus has been ruled out of the WC through injury. Yet another talented player we won't be seeing playing at this tournament.

 

.what the hell is this ?

if you cant see the keyboard get to the opticians , dont be so stubborn .

 

i remember the world cups of Rivelino , Pele , Paolo Rossi ,Romário , Gerd Müller , Beckenbauer .......Cruyff, Van Basten

you kids dont know nuffink about the world cup , NUFFINK !

Steven Gerrard my ar$e !!!!

when you have heard the commentator scream at the top of his voice for the umpteeth time .........." RIVELLLLIINNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!! "........then you will have seen a world cup

 

i prefer the Vulvazela ..........

 

I wonder if there will be one player who takes his chance this world cup and becomes immense for his Country

Does anyone remember Salvatore Scillichi for Italy average player became a beast in that World cup.

 

Personally I would like to see Messi hit his best form.

 

I would like to France and Germany do well , at the expense of the Spanish and Portugese speakers .

 

I can play one of those too

 

Ox is fit for the WC

 

Got my life savings on Giroud being top scorer at 60-1

 

They are good odds for Giroud. He's much better than a lot give him credit for. Where did you get those odds ? I'm not a betting man, but I might have a flutter this tournie

 

Join the sun dream team and enter this league.........

League code..... 8147191
Pass word.... Kai

 

Ladbrokes, though it turns out he was actually at 50-1. He's 66-1 at Paddy Power though. I thought he'd maybe get some luck in France's group, but maybe not so much now Ribery is out.

 

France are like the Spuds of the WC, always finding a way to **** it up for themselves.

 

Fabs awful penalty miss.......

Is he really fit for the WC?? Having been ruled out for the closing few matches of the season with a niggling injury, I don't think anyone is doing him any favours by proclaiming him to be match fit. Ox needed a summer of "rest" and a spell with the physios to build up muscle strength on his legs. We all saw what happened the other night. A tough tackle and he is crocked again. There is every likelihood it will happen again in the group phase of the WC and then that's his WC over, and worse for Arsenal, a struggle for him to be properly fit for the start of the season. Talented player who on talent deserves to be at the WC, but feel Arsenal and England would have been better served by letting him recover full fitness back here.

 

They beat Jamaica 8-0 tonight

 

bollox , i wanted to watch that too !
