England out of the world cup

[psychocandy]

Anyone sad?

Not really. This isn't like football where chavdom rules and the team gets mocked.

A physical sport where everyone is a winner on both sides, immune to mockery. Maori and NZ team B Australia had a better physical game and technique. Seen those scrums where Australia had clear weight advantage?

Lanky boy isn't a happy man, but then he is a very good and decent coach that England had.

PS - Why are you watching the private school boys game psycho? I thought you were a coffer sponging, JSA leech on benefits. Go watch footie lad

Private school boys game? Not when you're born within sight of the River Taff matey.... A posh school in the valleys in one where the kids turn up most days.

Might be in England but certainly not in the valleys. Deffo a working class game.

In fact, football is considered a game for little girls. School I went too disbanded the football team due to lack of interest. (Probably due to the shame involved of those taking part).

For the record as well - no JSA for a few years for me fella. Won't say never though because there'll be a next time...

That's probably true I'm England, but rugby is a religion in Wales.

No I'm not hurting Psycho. Nothing will ever beat Sydney 2003. I can still hear the sobbing rendition of 'Waltzing Matilda'.

It's a bit embarrassing to get knocked out of the group with a game to spare as the host nation

Looks like the other home nations are all progressing but Scotland and Wales look likely to be knocked out in the QFs too.

Probably true wales will get knocked out.

BUT, and this is probably wrong, 99.9% of wales will consider the tournament a success because we beat England. And of course, last weekend was the icing on the cake....

PC you're also forgetting the current injury crisis, Wales have done quite well considering how many players they've lost.

Exactly mate. Which is why we won't beat Aus or SA (if we end up playing them).

To be honest, beating England and even getting out of the group (and at englands expense) is more than we could ever have dreamed of IMHO.

It's quite an achievement to get out of what was dubbed the group of death, still anything can happen look what Japan did to the Boks. Australia might be a step too far at present but I'd still fancy the team's chances against South Africa.
