England Vs Columbia tonight...

What do you think the score will be?

I think 3 - 0 to England...

Is it just me or is the picture quality terrible?

If he manages to survive the match without a nosebleed from the height.

EDIT: Ignore the post before this and it might make sense.

The clincher, as you say, is whether England get a good manager or not.

And because they gave Sven and even larger deal, it doens't look like that'll happen any time soon.

If England win the World Cup, I'll heartily apologise, but it isn't likely at all

Peter Crouch will score 6.

That's a pretty hysterical response.

I didn't actually give an opinion on how good I thought England were, I just said that there is sufficient English talent to win the World Cup, and that's a fact. The clincher to how good England actually are is, as I said, how we can play as a team.

Besides, Brazil haven't really impressed me recently. Granted, they had a decent enough win over Argentina (although all three goals came from penalties), and they have a lot of quality players, but it wasn't too long ago I saw their full-strength side struggle against Peru.

Brazil vs. England is no longer a foregone conclusion. We could easily give them a run for their money.

When Owen used to be at his VERY best, we looked like the best team in the world, but now we strugle against many teams. When we played Portugal, the abuse our players got, reulted in the most pathetic show of football ever... The tackles that were being made were awful. Portugal were also racist towards out players.

Tonight however i think we will dominate and it should be an easy win to boost our confidence. Well im off to watch it, cya.

4-1 to England.

They only won 2-1 in the last World Cup. And they had many of the same players.

But yes, England are getting waaaaaaaay too big for their boots.

It must be annoying to have all the commentators supporting a country that you aren't in at the time and don't come from, but then again they always support the other British teams when they play. So English people put up with it (if they're annoyed by it at all) as well, it's just that England play more often because they get further.

Unless you get lucky, YOU WILL BE THRASHED by Brazil at whatever point you meet them

But you'll get knocked out before that

England are nowhere near as good as you think
