...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

PersonalEnglandCoach · 23/06/2010 17:02

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

PortiaNovmerriment · 23/06/2010 17:03

I was reading that twenty minutes ago and nooding sagely

PortiaNovmerriment · 23/06/2010 17:04

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?

WilfShelf · 23/06/2010 17:06

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

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??

WilfShelf · 23/06/2010 21:01

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

MavisEnderby · 23/06/2010 21:07

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....

WilfShelf · 23/06/2010 21:44

Argentina.

You saw it here first.

Portofino · 23/06/2010 21:45

Now we have to play the Germans!!!!

Ingles2 · 23/06/2010 21:47

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

notnowbernard · 23/06/2010 21:49

I have also fancied Argentina since their opening game

WilfShelf · 23/06/2010 21:52

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

OP posts:
MavisEnderby · 23/06/2010 21:52

What about Uruguay? (plays wild card)

PortiaNovmerriment · 23/06/2010 22:05

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

notnowbernard · 23/06/2010 22:06

Portia

MmeLindt · 23/06/2010 22:07

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.

MavisEnderby · 23/06/2010 22:09

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

MrsRhettButler · 23/06/2010 22:09

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

MaureenMLove · 23/06/2010 22:11

LOL @ historic reference!

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

WilfShelf · 23/06/2010 22:12

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

OP posts:
notnowbernard · 23/06/2010 22:14

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

Ingles2 · 23/06/2010 22:15

@ Wilf
But yes, we will lose on Sunday.

PortiaNovmerriment · 23/06/2010 22:16

Yes, if anyone is going to be distracted by Russians and, er, 'snow', it would be players from our Premier League, if the tabloids are to be believed...
