aliens vs predator Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 If you can call it the robot! Has to be the worst Robot dance I've seen, but his goal was good though. Can't wait for the world cup, do you know when the dates are for the England matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators DavidB Posted May 31, 2006 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2006 We'll do well, I'm sure of it. We're more than capable, and we have some very good players. The only problem I have with our team is the inability to keep up the pressure once they've gone ahead. They tend to sit back on the lead and start playing around, which leads to them getting caught out and inevitably losing that lead they worked hard to get in the first place. Once they learn to keep the effort up, rather than just settling for a 1-0 lead or whatever, then they'll do a lot better I think. It's never even 'defending' the lead, their attitude just seems to go pretty poor like all the effort is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaingangcena Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 We have a very good team with the likes of Lampard Gerrard and Beckham. Beckhams set pieces are great Come on ENGLAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 This is England's best chance to win the World Cup since we actually did!!! I remain unconvinced of this. Personally, I think Italia 90 was our best chance; we were a penalty shoot-out away from the final, where we would have faced a lousy Argentine team. England had grown in confidence, found a new and attractive way of playing, and were firing on all cylinders. Even with Gascoigne suspended for the final we'd have been a hell of a team to meet. By contracts, Argentina had managed to get through to the final with a nasty blend of foul play, outrageous diving and organised harassment of the referees. They only qualified from the initial group stages as one of the four best third place finishers; they scored very few goals, played for penalty shoot-outs and were basically footballing thugs. By the time they got to the final they had about half their players out through either suspension (they picked up 3 red cards and 22 yellows in their 7 games in the tournament), or injury, and I believe Maradona played the final whilst carrying an injury - after a dull time in the group stage he had played well in the knock-out games, but was dull and indeed even crap in the final. Argentina were lousy in the final and ended up with only 9 men on the pitch, having had two players sent off. But for a couple of dodgy penalties in that semi-final we'd have stuffed Argentina and bought the cup back home. (The only downside of which would have been that Ian Broudie would never have written "3 Lions on a shirt" six years later!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alx Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 As I said before, I think England has a decent team, however I also think that Brazil has a decent team, and Italy. If you look at the way Netherlands qualified it was so convincing, and what about Germany with the home crowd... Its tough to call. Id like to see us win, do I believe we will though?

Queen_Sindel Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 and what about Germany with the home crowd... Have you seen the German team playing lately? There's no home crowd that can make up for *that*... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alx Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Lol, well yuhuh, actually I was stood on the pitch at the Olympic Stadium, just hours before the Germany USA match and you won that didnt you... 4 -1 (cant remember too well, was back in March) A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie79 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 There are many teams capable of winning the World Cup this time round. It's more open than it was 4 years ago. Alot of very good teams could go out in either the group stage or the 2nd round, and that includes Brazil, Italy, Holland. Had a dream last night that some team playing in red will win it. *goes looking up all teams in red and places bets* I know I'm welsh, but it would be nice if it's England playing in red in the final.

Alx Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Cool, I would like to have come back over. I have decided that my second language will be German. I did GCSE German, and French, and self taught myself bits of Russian, started Spanish and Italian, because my uncle is Italian, but I find my self just speaking German sometimes, or midway through a conversation just using German words. So once my exams are over, I will start again with my language skills and focus on German. Had my exams not been at the same time as the world cup then I would probrabally have come over but hey these things happen. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
