"2014 world cup..."

will be staged in South America.

the reason given:

South America has won the world cup 9 times but hasn't hosted the event since Argentina '78.

Yes. They keep on winning it, so we might as well give one of them home advantage so they can win it again.


*smakcs head on keyboard*

I’m an optimist by the way.

James is a good keeper, he was a very good keeper at Liverpool. Why? Because he had a good defence in front of him.
I think England will look to either Robinson or Kirkland for the first team keeper in the next tournament.
I will go out on a limb here and say I think England stand a real chance at the next world cup. All our young starlets will be coming into their prime, I think the next Euro tournament will show the potential England are now producing.

Great.....

Playing on South American soil will bring more complaints from European counterparts, in particular the English - if they fail once again.

Brazil and Argentina must be laughing, the World Cup's staying 'home'

Hell ye!

2014.

hmmmm, I'll be 30 by then!. If all goes to plan I'll probably be living somewhere in North/South America by then. British Columbia seemed like a nice place to live the last time i went there...

I think Ortega will be happy to see this...

Ha ha! LOL!

Are you suggesting David James be first choice England goalkeeper?

Are you by any change of the ilk who also believe Heskey to be a world class forward?

David James is an excellent shotstopper. What he is not, is an excellent goalkeeper. Or a good goalkeeper. He has no arial ability whatsoever, and is on the wrong end of mistakes far too often just to blame bad luck. The highest praise you could possibly give the man, is to say he's just having a run of bad form which has lasted five or six years.

England would have an absolutley amazing chance of winning the world cup if only we had a decent Goalkeeper. You could get rid of Seaman but then we are left with James, you would think this would be a good thing just by looking at him, he's MASSIVE he's a good keeper but was a dissapointment in the friendly match against Australia, although it was his debut.

IF Scotland get to World Cup 2006 me and loads of mates are going to Germany.

However, that's a very big IF.

Erm...yeah, it is in Portugal isn't it?
