Or Brazil / Argentina, France, United States. In a way if we're going to get a tough group I hope we get one where there are some decent grudge matches where we can get really wound up for a bit and at least blame history etc rather than years of failed administration and the fact we're just rubbish when we get knocked out

Trouble is Dan, apart from Argentina and the "Celtic Nations", everybody else loves us 'cos we're just so bloody great.
 
Today's the day for the draw then. Not too fussed who England get tbh as we'll find anything quite tough next year. I'd love to see Brazil get someone like Italy or Holland as their first game so they could get beat in the opening game on home soil but i suspect it won't be happening. I also hope we get a few local type matches in the group stages as they're always good for the tension on the pitch.
 
I'd quite like the plane to crash - we won't get hammered in the group matches and if anyone from other countries takes the piss we can all feign mock outrage. We win all ends up.
