    Paraguay are okay, but they will lose to England. England will then trounce Trinidad and Tobasco comfortably, and draw with Sweden, thus winning their group on goal difference.
    Media hysteria will hit new and frenzied heights as they ease past Poland and draw either Holland or Argentina in the quarter finals. The sun will be giving away "Remember the Falklands" or "Clobber the Cloggies" paper hats and the Carling gnats-piss will be flowing like water. Millions will leave work early and gather round giant screens in city centres jingoistically belting out Jerusalem/Land of Hope and Glory/Rule Brittania/The Great Escape/Swing Low etc. armed with plastic cups full of very expensive yet ridiculously frothy warm lager.
    England will then have a winning "goal" disallowed due to some large clumsy defender climbing all over the goalie and/or a defender at some set piece, and the match will end with Holland or Argentina holding their nerve and winning it on penalties. Dozens of arrests will take place, a slightly higher number than the reruns of the disallowed "goal", as England fans once again show the world they cannot hold their ale, and the show will end with a tearful Gary Lineker presenting a dreary collage of near-misses and what-might-have-been moments from the previous 2 hours during which England's forwards, presented with the first reasonable defensive unit they have faced in the competition, once again display the inescapable fact that they could not collectively hit a cow's arse with a banjo.
    Some poor Match Official will spawn countless websites calling for his castration, and 2006 will thus be remembered as the year that only Scotland brought home a footballing trophy to these islands.
    Was that the micky mouse cup in the land of sushi no one else entered?.

    See you, you ****. I'll cut you first...

        Past Winners include Argentina, France, and the Czech Republic. Not that Mickey Mouse apparently. In any event, the only trophy coming to THESE islands in the foreseeable future anyway.
        Any news on Shrek by the way? And what about Sick-note Stevie missing training again?

          Excellent posts SB !

          Funny how England ALWAYS end up playing Poland.

          But I think your forecast is pretty accurate, one thing to add is that during the crunch game with Argentina or Holland, Rooney makes his debut World Cup appearance following his injury recovery for England.

          Alas !

          He has been on the pitch for mere 10 minutes when he is red carded for fighting after being provoked by a defender.

                  Paraguay is actually a pretty bad team.

                  Scotland played them in the Argentinian world cup in 1978.

                  Now can any of you Scots remind us what happened ?

                  Presumably even Scotland were capable of giving them a good trouncing.

                    What competition is this? We cannot be talking about football. I have one or two scottish mates who would have been gloating within five seconds if the scots had won anything at all, at any sport, and I've not heard a peep from them except when they thrashed Bulgaria a few months ago.

                      No, the jocks played Peru. Same continent, but were slightly better than Paraguay at the time because they had Cubilas. The jocks lost, naturally, but they did manage a draw against Iran.
