Amongst others, although I reckon the defeat of France might have carried marginally more kudos. God knows how high we could have risen had we been paired against England and their "Group of Death"!Originally posted by DodgyAgentIt was that stunning win over the Fairy Islands that did it
Odd just how England's top ten status never seems to wain no matter how they struggle. I expect they played their joker against the mighty Estonia.

In actual fact, the man who masterminded the English Football League was actually Scottish, William McGregor. Come to think of it, have England ever come up with ANY sporting ideas of their own? Oh that's right................Cricket!Originally posted by DodgyAgentAnyway we invented the game

That is not the same as "inventing the game". mind you it is quite likely that football was invented in Scotland as it is a natural derivative of "head kicking"Originally posted by shaunbhoyIn actual fact, the man who masterminded the English Football League was actually Scottish, William McGregor.

even at my age and weight I could still run rings round a weedy pigeon like you. Your footballing allegiance betrays your ignorance of the sport even before you haul your spindly frame onto the pitch.

So are you saying that Rugby is a natural derivative of head kicking but with funny shaped heads? Just wondering where your logic comes from. Are you a woman because womens logic works that way...Originally posted by DodgyAgentThat is not the same as "inventing the game". mind you it is quite likely that football was invented in Scotland as it is a natural derivative of "head kicking"
