Football World Cup Draw.

We got Trinidad and Tobago. That's a real banana skin, as most of their squad play in the Championship, or the lower leagues. So they'll be real fired up for it.

Don't see any reason why you shouldn't qualify from your group. Croatia don't have any real talent coming through, and Japan should be brushed aside becuase the vast majority of your squad play in the Premiership. Not too many of the Japanese squad play outside their continent. You've got the advantage. Brazil should be a piece of piss too. All them fancy poncy tricks, pah!

The last wrold cup would have been perfect viewing for you, I'd imagine, timezone wise. It was all focked for us. Matches starting at 7.30am etc. Still got to go in the pubs though. Tom will undoubtedly back me up on the merits of early doors drinking.

Gonna be great though. World Cup summers are the bastard best. Depending on what leave wifey gets from work, I'll probably be in the US for part of it. Nevermind, I'll just have to wear my England shirt all the time and decamp to the nearest sports bar and beg the barman to stick the footie on.

Footie shirts abroad are a badge of honour. You simply have to wear them. I bumped into all sorts down the strip in Vegas, and had a few cold ones with a Geordie in our hotel bar discussing the season last. The bartender was puzzled by the talk, but after a swift masterclass, got rightly into it.

I love our group. If we make it through we've got a real shot at the WC this time.

The only thing I didn't quite get is why the Netherlands weren't a group leader. Based on FIFA rankings that's just ludicrous. Must be a size thing or something. Not enough dutch people to warrant prime time broadcasts for all the matches, i guess.

7.30am is not early hour drinking, it's still out drinking!!! I know exactly what you mean I had a fantastic time. We would all stay in the boozer, taking bets on how many of the non drinkers would still be standing come lunch lunchtime

The World Cup RULES! So much fun at bars. Maybe not in the states but everywhere else.

I wish I could go to Germany. I have one friend from the states going already. I'll never get the time off work though.

I'm looking forward to seeing Brazil again this year.

The only thing that kills me about soccer sometimes is that you can wait until the last 5 minutes to start watching and not miss a thing.

Men care, real men who like real sports. The type that don't stop every 2 fcuking mins so fat fcukers can catch their breath.

Actually it was WC....i am spaciong i didn't mean last year i ment last time...lol

Last year i worked at night so wouldn't have been able to watch it.

I watch the NFL but my sport is basketball. College basketball over pro.


You taunt the NFL but the only positions that soccer players can play is KICKERS AND PUNTERS!!! HAHAHAHA

ANY soccer player would shite himself if he saw J. Peppers comming at them full speed.



i dont mimnd watching soccer, but its importance on a global scale has more to do with the low cost and ease of learning then the sports 'greatness'

Americans will never embrace soccer just the same as people around the world will never understand why we dont like soccer.

Why? You ugly? Bad personality? Poor hygene? You a pig?

Funny thing. I cleaned my apt this morning. So this guy knocks on my door trying to get a petition signed, looks in, and says "Damn you must have a woman living here"

Could you get Sod to rewrite your post so it makes a little more sense.

You sir are correct Good night.
