World Cup 2010

[Langdale Wolf]

perhaps, but also a final we certainly didn't deserve to win given our performances thru the tournament, cos we were dire.

But that aside, I doubt we'd have won. We always raise our game for the Germans, like we don't manage to do most of the time for other teams.

No, there's huge difference.

Back then we had a team who did at times show just how well they could play together (and had done at the WC 4 years before too). They knew what their strengths were, and how to get the best out of each other (which was a lot of what the 'mutiny' was about - they knew it better than Bobby did).

Nowadays we have a collection of individuals, who continually show that they can't play together.

It's precisely because Pat hasn't got them playing any better together than Sven managed that I don't hold out any hope.

Watching SSN and they're interviewing Sunderland fans on Bent's omission from the squad.

It's hilarious.

should he not be in infront of the gangly one? one on one against heskey, he should be there, but you can't argue with how heskey clearly helps rooney.

Not really. I rarely feel let down.

There is a big difference between believing we COULD, and predicting we WON'T.

I don't know that I'll be proved wrong, I'm merely predicting that I won't be.

IF we don't win it, I think the posts we write will go like this. See if you can guess who will say what:

1. "Bollocks. Absolutely gutted. Bastard Germans. I hate them. Too pissed off to write, I'm off down the pub."

2. I hope Theo is at home laughing his cute little socks off.

[ampersand]

of course you are

this is a world cup thread

you have nothing of merit or credibility to add to it

[Tugger2k]

i'll remember that when you partake in champions league conversations next season

[ampersand]

you mean the champions league that my club are in?

FAIL!!

just like your nation at all things

if it helps maintain your cred, sure you are

[ampersand]

That's mighty confident.

Scotland were in the World cup qualifiers, that means Ampers is as qualified to talk about the World Cup as you are about the Champions League. For now anyway.

Oh please, my cred is so high it doesn't even get affected by openly conversing with you.
