TBF, the competition is wide open this year. As for England, they have to win a final sooner or later. In my defence, I stopped following international football some time ago.
Its like golf and cricket. Only gets interesting in the later stages, and the English don’t usually get that far.

Mathematically that may be so, unfortunately you're assuming random chance of winning, England has no chance on account of being so rubbish and thus your statement does not apply.

Sorry.

Is there anything more cringe than that guy who pretends to watch football but has absolutely no idea about it

Tbf I should imagine he's a pretty good "neighbour from hell".

It is indeed watching you retards thinking you're suddenly world-beaters, and are going to win the WC for the first time since Dinosaurs roamed on the back of some melt posting #itscominghome

In fairness, I think he has no idea about most sports.

He's sort of like TD's sporting skidmark.

^I know you lot are no fucking chance in this WC, as usual.

Feel free to give me heaps when you win it, but be prepared for what's coming your way when you don't. It's going to be a lot of fun

And so another headwhack day begins.

Mmmm ... crumpets.

But hopefully there is some convict sport on today, so he'll be busy knitting and occasionally checking the score. They're passionate about their sports you know.

^Well I'm certainly passionate about the Brisbane Bronco's, was there for the first ever game they played, have always worn supporter gear, could name pretty much every player of any note that's worn their jersey since their inception, and consider their home ground of Lang Park to be sacred ground. But they're playing the Roosters tomorrow and are absolutely and positively no chance. I say this based on looking at the team lists, the weather forecast, and having watched all 80 minutes of both teams games last week. No chance, and I'll be betting against them. This concept of being totally realistic is completely beyond the grasp of brittles, as this thread clearly shows

Damn right, the recent pics of these in another thread made me pick some up just yesterday. Might have a couple and post pics later just for the entertainment value of getting you whoppers to dance for me

I done got me a tiddler.

See this is the difference, I've got me a whole net full of brittles but you think you're winning. You're more chance of winning the WC

Each one of those fish is more passionate about sport than your average convict.

I see headworx is now frantically trying to up the post count in the convict sports threads.

And each one of them has about the same chance as England when it comes to winning the WC

Serious question: Give me 3 reasons why you think England are a chance in this. I'll be fascinated by the logic you're using, when all indicators are they're absolutely NO chance based on history and current form.

^Great comeback Chitty, take you long to put that together

What about you having a go at 3 reasons England can win? This sort of thing might change my mind:
1/ Southgate has taken teams to WC's 4 times, won 3 and runner up (robbed) in the other.
2/ England has the world's best #1 and #9 in the current team, and 7 others with WC winning experience.
3/ Having recently breezed to victory in the Euro cup with no team getting within 2 goals, confidence is high.

This sort of thing won't change my mind:
1/ By the law of averages we have to win something, anything, sooner or later.
2/ Some bloke with a sporty sounding name posted #itscominghome
3/ It's in our English DNA to believe we can win everything and this time will be different!

Over to you

Another 12 hours + with the Mighty Mighty England on his mind.

^And another too scared to actually point out any valid reasons why everything I'm saying isn't totally true, and why England can win

And a tabloid press, which will gradually build up England to be a massive favourite to grab the title.

It's never a "could be a contender for the title" or "England has a fair chance this time around".

No..."it's coming home"


The same tabloids will ofcourse attack team, manager and the FA, when football chooses another home....for one reason or the other.





Let's see

May the best team win.


Ah

And let me add this:

I hope that England will fail in their campaign...just to piss off it's disgusting hooligan fanbase.

Sorry 'bout that, cause you do have a good team
