Mumsnet Talk

...of many, many days ago:

""England will lose their first two games; the tabloids will call for Capello's head on a plate and a spear up his arse. Some games later, when they have pulled it back, the tabloid will call for his knighthood." WilfShelf

I thank you <bows deeply>

<OK, they didn't actually lose but I pretty much called it. I think Gaby Logan should step down now and let me do the job.>

well called, WilfShelf!

<kneels and worships at the Oracle that is WilfShelf>

Oh mighty One...who will we be against on Sunday?

I was reading that twenty minutes ago and nooding sagely

Ooh they are discussing Carragher now- this must be where we say thet he was wrong to come out of retirement and should have put his club before his country, isn't it?

Ah, PEC, my pupil. I think you know the answer to that spiritual question in your own heart.

<makes Karate Kid pose in anticipation of this evening>

Germany

Yeah I thought that...If we could stuff them again, it would almost be as good as winning the Cup!

Shine on...shine off. Paint the fence...or maybe the crane??

And now I predict those tennis players will have to die before their match ends...

Who do you predict will win?

I predict a South American team (sits on fence) or possibly Spain.Though one can never truly discount the Germans....

Argentina.

You saw it here first.

Now we have to play the Germans!!!!

Good call Wilf
I predict Maradona and his cuddly Argies to win...
Ds1 says Brazil will win.

I have also fancied Argentina since their opening game

<jumps on bandwagon>

Nice work albie btw: what's the old guy's name in KK?

What about Uruguay? (plays wild card)

Does anybody see any historical similarities here? The French surrendered early, the USA arrive last minute and we are left to fight the Germans!

Portia

The Germans are going to win on Sunday.

Sorry guys. Tut mir leid.

Going to keep linking to this until you all know the words and can sing along.

Yes,I fear Germany will win.We are simply Not Good Enough.

no no no!!!
either England or Brazil have to win so that i can win a oner (sp) in the pub sweepstakes ok!! <stamps foot>

LOL @ historic reference!

In that case, we're in! We beat the Germans!!!

Ye-e-e-es. However, this time we don't have any Russians or snow to weaken their campaign from the East however.

If, and it's a big if, we do beat them we are in all likelihood going to have to face ARGENTINA in the QFs

Let's get on the plane now

@ Wilf
But yes, we will lose on Sunday.
