    Anyone from here going?

    I know a few that are making the trip. Internationals have never really grabbed me though.

    No chance. Not worth all the hassle and grief. More interested in following Hull City around europe now.

    News today that the hotels for Italy and England have had food(Fish) seized for being out of date.

    Italy = 6 weeks out of date.

    England = just 2 weeks.

    ffs. <yikes>

    Not off to the World Cup.

    Wouldn't mind going to France for the Euros in 2 years time.

    No real desire to follow England anymore. Especially with the clueless Woy in charge.

    Not since Terry Venables for Euro 96 have England had a manager who filled me with any confidence.

    Banks could not get off the troilet by all accounts. It cost us back to back world cups imho.

    Funny ^^^^^ both these. Shame that England did not take there own chefs back then like they do now.


    In the Express today Phil Jagielka says that he is getting fed up of people wanting John Terry to come out of retirement. I wonder why Phil ? Only England would take you ahead of better defenders ffs.

    I went to the World Cup 2002(Japan), Euro 2004(Portugal), World Cup 2006(Germany), but then I gave up.

    I just do England home games now.

    I toyed with going to Brasil, just because I've never been before, but work commitments got in the way.

    I'll probably go to the Euros over in France in 2 years.

    I remember my old man taking me to Portugal for Euro 2004. That was brilliant.

    The one time I wouldnt go to a country is during the world cup. I want to experience what it's really about, not when its invaded by a million people from other countries.

    People wont be surprised I couldnt give two ****s about England at international level but I do love the spectable of the thing. Best tournament by a mile in my lifetime was USA 94 when we didnt qualify.

    That is the appearance fees for all games. But the win bonus wont be an issue like.

    Why was Vinnie Jones in there? Thought he was Welsh.

    Forgot just how bad Upson was against the Germans in South Africa. Other than his goal he was ****e.

    It was on not long ago.

    I turned it off when they nominated Paul Scholes.



    Nugent shouldn't be in it. What exactly did he do wrong in his one substitute appearance? Surely someone like Jay Bothroyd (remember him?) would've been more sensible?
