MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
In my dream last night, I saw England getting drawn against Brazil and Italy in this afternoon's World Cup Draw. If I am right I will reward myself with Beer.
RM.
.....we got Italy you get half a beer
Not gonna win a single match. Woy had better start preparing some excuses now.
C'mon Engerland.....its only the eyeties and er.....SUAREZ!! OOER! 😯
£10 on Gerrard to hobble Suarez in an early May training session 😉
England v Italy, Saturday 14 June 2am... looking forward to it already!
If we harbour ambitions to do well in worldcups, we have to be able to beat better teams than Italy and Uruguay.
I would count doing well as getting to quarterfinal stage. There are only 5 teams ranked higher than Uruguay and Italy, so it is a tough group to get out of.
That England Italy game is gonna be very interesting out in town! Mayhem comes to mind whether it be win lose or draw!
ENGLAND manager Roy Hodgson has settled on a first eleven excuses for failure at next year’s World Cup.
The excuses, which blend experience with a few exciting debutants, will represent their country when it performs catastrophically in Brazil.
Outlining his formation, Hodgson said: ”Up front we’ve got the tiring Premier League season and injuries to key players, which we’re hoping and praying come through in the spring when we need them most.
“On the wing we’re blaming the climate of the host country, which may be new and untried now but we’ve got to learn to rely on because it’ll be absolutely crucial in Qatar.
“In midfield we’ll be blaming Gerrard and Lampard’s failure to gel, though not without some sadness as that’s the last time we’ll be able to use an excuse from the Golden Generation.
“At the back, we’ve got the classic combination of the Brazilian nightlife and the distraction of the WAGs, who have promised me they’re going to shop like they’ve never shopped before.
“And between the sticks, Joe Hart.”
Hodgson added: “Failing to plan for failure is planning for failure to fail.
“I won’t fall into the trap of Capello, spending all his time working on making the team better and leaving the press with no option but to pin the whole thing on him.
“England fans are relying on me to give them the excuses that will turn a miserable showing into a hard-fought moral victory for the team.”
To win the World Cup you have to beat really good teams at some point anyway.
England are not good enough to win the World Cup.
So what's the fuss?
Hodgson added: “Failing to plan for failure is planning for failure to fail.
WTF ?
Kick off at 2am? Really??

i like the draw.
it will feel like 3 knock out games before the knock out phase even begins. much better for england than games where the press have already decided that we should/will win.
we'll do well to progress.
Home within 2 weeks.
We never win anyway, at least they'll spend less time going on about it in the papers
I think we'll do ok, providing Hodgson grows a pair and leaves all he OAP's at home and takes the young blood ie 3/4 f the under 21's squad!!
