Quoting Speedbird747BA (Reply 7): In your dreams buddy......but sometimes i seriously think i could have managed better than erickson. he must have been retarded......
Just look at us: we have won the last 6 games in a row, only two of those were friendly matches. And in comparison, England has tied against Macedonia 0:0 and lost against Croatia 0:2, also thanks to Paul Robinson allowing the own goal by Gary Neville.

You on drugs or something?
Quite simply, England aren't good enough to win the World Cup. Sooneryou lot get that into your head, the less pain you'll be in the next time you get knocked out.
When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army Boys, we'll be coming down the road!

Erm....I wouldn't hang hopes too high, you know...people have turned to alcoholism and worse for being a fan of Engerland AND being optimistic!
Quoting LTU932 (Reply 3): the title of having lost the most penalty shootouts in the history of Football
I thought they already ARE record-breaking champion in this funny little sideshow to football??!!
Quoting Gkirk (Reply 23): Sooneryou lot get that into your head, the less pain you'll be in the next time you get knocked out.
Oh now, not at all, keep hoping, pal. There's nothing like the sight of 80,000 red-faced Engerlish hooligans driving home bawling like little kids....I had the pleasure this year, already looking forward to watch it again in Austria/Switzerland...and in South Africa
I know it's only VfB but I like it!
25 Banco: Quite true. But the point is, with the players they have, they ought to be pretty close. But they aren't. Overpaid, self-obsessed prima-donnas utterl
26 Gkirk: Not often I agree with Germans, but you have a point there
27 KevinL1011: Don't they get a yellow shirt or a green jacket to wear? Does everyone on the team get a cup? Does each team member get a turn to wear it? Are they p
28 VHVXB: thats a no brainer. I just wonder when they will win their next world cup whether it be in Cricket, Soccer or Rugby
29 Andreas: You most certainly do......maybe a few well-deserved stains on your jerseys....?
30 Banco: Wind-ups only work if the target disagrees with you, you know.
31 Andreas: I'm not winding you up...do I ever?? See, we disagree
32 Banco: England have better players than Germany, but Germany romped through the World Cup and reached the semi-final - and could have gone further. England
33 Cornish: 100% right there. Its ridiculous to hear how there's this excuse that the team formation was all wrong against Croatia. It really says that these bun
34 Andreas: Interesting theory that I definitely doubt! Now: How to prove it? Transfer payments? Forget it, useless, given the financing differences between Prem
35 Banco: How do you work that out? England only have a single player over the age of 30, and most of them are mid-twenties or younger. They had the youngest s
36 Andreas: I said "no advantage"...that implies no disadvantage either! It just sounded as if you trying to say the English does have much more perspective than
37 ME AVN FAN: When will the "national" teams of England and Scotland be merged into a winning British team ?
38 Andreas: That will be the day Scotland finally manages to conquer England....I highly doubt England would do this out of their own free will No pun inten
39 Aviationmaster: Falsch. Ghana had the youngest squad in the World Cup followed by the Swiss team.
40 Andreas: And look where they ended up...there are some similarities though....as far as penalties are concerned...
41 RJ111: We should have appointed O'neill as manager.
42 Aviationmaster: When it comes to penalties, the Swiss team still takes the cake, heck the English at least managed to score once
43 Andreas: That was accidental and certainly not to be expected...but true
44 LTU932: Maybe FIFA could give them for this an official title. True, but see above. Let's make it fully official with a title for this record by FIFA.
45 Banco: Really? I stand corrected then. I'm sure I read it somewhere... It wasn't a specific comment against Germany. Believe it or not, I can sometimes go a
46 Pawsleykat: Nope, I think Scotland will take that title Exactly Gavin! JG
47 LTU932: What title will Scotland win? The title of not qualifying for a World Cup yet again?
48 Andreas: I believe NOT! And WHAT do you expect them to say on English TV...or on German TV when it comes to our midfield after the first few games....Exactly!
49 N1120A: The number one reason England never wins. Their keepers suck.
50 Banco: Oh, come now. Just because you're obsessed with us doesn't mean it works the other around. I could go a whole lifetime not thinking about you, you kn
51 Andreas: That must be one the most blatant cases of prevarication I've ever seen...a Brit UNpossessed with Germany!! Now THAT is a very drastic though interes
52 Aviationmaster: Thank you, but no thanks. I'd rather still support a team that loses 1-2 to the Austrians than support a team that beats the super heavy-weights of E
53 Andreas: THAT sounds very masochist to me, but hey, suit yourself ......I was rather thinking about Argentina, Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden lately....3 WC wins,
54 David L: I have to agree... reluctantly, of course. It's hard to believe they're the same players I see week in, week out in the Premiership. I think that was
55 IFEMaster: Clearly you didn't see the incident Robinson didn't "allow" anything. England has some of the best players in the world (there is no denying the magn
56 LTU932: I did see it and yes, I still say he allowed it. He simply kicked in the air and didn't react quick enough to save himself and his team from the emba
57 IFEMaster: Wrong wrong wrong. Look again. The textbook pass has absolutely nothing to do with it. The trajectory of his kick was on course to make contact with
58 ME AVN FAN: otherwise ? you mean about joining, at least football-wise, Italy or France ?
59 Andreas: I suspect they'd want you to join about as much as they'd want a heavy diarrhea, just like us... [Edited 2006-10-13 19:59:29]
60 ME AVN FAN: well, Swiss footballers lose out in penalty-shootouts but do NOT headbutt adversaries !
61 Speedbird747BA: True, true... By chance, did you see Switzerland vs Togo? excellent game, mainly because Togo put up a great fight (I, and I think most others, expec
62 ME AVN FAN: Saw parts of it. Yes, I would advocate Switzerland to change to the African side of football. Much better chances, and many interesting contacts !
63 Speedbird747BA: Speaking of African Football, i would like to take this time to congratulate and Thank Ghana for the wonderful show they put on this summer! Cheers,
