Vacamion Posted 4 December 2009 Posted 4 December 2009 that depends. Do you usually slot people for being right? Nah mate. I'm English. I shoot them, bang their wives and nick their country... Job done...
Father Ted Posted 4 December 2009 Posted 4 December 2009 I expect the community of Foxestalk to help me wind up Father Ted (wishful thinking) It's already begun on Facebook!!
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 4 December 2009 Posted 4 December 2009 It's already begun on Facebook!! What we say really has no baring on what happens 23rd June 2010.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 4 December 2009 Posted 4 December 2009 I'll give my considered verdict on the draw some other time. All I'll say for now is that whoever devised the farcical ceremony should be thrown into solitary in Robben Island... ...in a cell next to the chamber where the uber bitch Theron is being water boarded.

Got to say, think she's a bit over rated in the looks department.

jonthefox Posted 4 December 2009 Posted 4 December 2009 couldnt have asked for a better draw could we?
Fosse Boy Posted 4 December 2009 Posted 4 December 2009 Algeria LCFC Arab is loving it! Arab will be happy! According to his facebook status 22 people texted him as soon as the draw was announced!
Smiffy Posted 4 December 2009 Posted 4 December 2009 I'm still a little pissed off with the draw its going to be a bloody nightmare over there.But it might have a silver lining. I live there and I'm married to a yank. If we don't win this my life won't be worth living.
C-man Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 USA on my birthday. Sweet. Day after mine. Huge shift already planned for the whole weekend. According to his facebook status 22 people texted him as soon as the draw was announced! Algeria-England at the WC and the prospect of Forest away tomorrow. Is he still alive?
Koke Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 The Met Police will have a tasty busy day for the England-Algeria clash
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 Absolutely great draw for England.
Radovan's Caravan Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 Absolutely great draw for England. Trebles all round then because the USA, Algeria & Slovenia are ecstatic with it too. And it would be ironic if it fell to those other foxes, 'The Desert Foxes' (Les Fennecs), to prove that the draw was better for them than it ever was for 'The Ingermongs'. Inconvenient World Cup Truth (No 1): England's victory over Paraguay in 'The round of sixteen' in the 1986 World Cup (Mexico) was their first win EVER in the knock out phase of a World Cup held on foreign soil.

That woman was just plain irritating! Good draw for us, altough bar North Korea, none of these games will be an out and out walk over. Something worries me about the Algerian game and people should view that as an automatic win.
BoneDog Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 The Met Police will have a tasty busy day for the England-Algeria clash That music is brilliant. It's like a kind of Cuban Arab style, niiiiiiiiiiiice
Jonezy Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 Bit of a so-so draw for Denmark. The Dutch are on fire, but we normally give them a good game. Team Eto'o is probably one of those African sides, that if, they turn up, they will cause serious problems, but if you manage to frustrate them you are in with a good shot. Japan must be like South Korea, fast, organized and hard working, but lacking flair. At least we go into the tournament with a decent chance of making it through the group, and hopefully with these opponents none of the matches will turn into an absolute borefest.
Father Ted Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 Potentially England v Serbia in the 2nd round.
ACF Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 Potentially England v Serbia in the 2nd round. But it'll be England Australia instead.

I think it's a tough group. We'll lose narrowly to the Dutch and Cameroon will probably give us a good hiding making our most winnable game against Japan irrelevant. I'm not optimistic despite our good record at the WC...

Serbia have never even won a World Cup game full stop. Stone cold fact. *I know they've never competed, but it doesn't change the fact.
TrickyTrev Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 Serbia have never even won a World Cup game full stop. Stone cold fact.*I know they've never competed, but it doesn't change the fact. Well from 1986 onwards they have reached 3 quarter finals, a semi-final and a round of 16 with only one 'failure' when we didn't qualify in 94. 3 of their 5 knock outs were by penalty shoot out. Probably a bit more relevant to the present state of English football. Signs are that we are an improving football nation learning from our mistakes, who are consistantly competitive if not world beating. It's a favorable record to all but the big 4; Argentina, Brazil, Germany and Italy. As well as latterly France who fell upon the most gifted player of a generation (Argentina's record is also inflated by the presence of one player) (There is admittedly a gap between these 5 and the rest, they have each won a world cup and played in at least one other final in the time period. No other side has reached a final or more than a single semi. England's under achievement is shared by Holland, Portugal, Spain, Russia and any other country you care to mention) The facts show just what most sensible English football fans think. That we are a consistently somewhere between the 5th and 10th best nation in the world and that we need something extra if we are to move forwards. That maybe more awareness of the tactical nuances of the game, like the Italians, Argentines and Germans, or the production of a singular special player as has helped the Argentines and The French. There is hope, probably not stretching to a belief, that the combination of increased sophistication of our top clubs under foreign leadership and the presence of a top class manager may give us the former.
purpleronnie Posted 5 December 2009 Posted 5 December 2009 Well technically serbia have only existed since 2006 so hardly surprising.
