Cheating your way to victory as England did in '66 doesn't really count, though, does it?

Probably the only time we'll ever have to thank a Russian...

[Mordac]

The difference being that we actually know we're tulipe. You lot are still in denial, still, if you say '66 a lot and put a st georges cross t shirt on your well-'ard dog, you might win it this year :nazi:

At least we qualified. Remind me, where your lot are going to spend their summer? Benidorm might be slightly better than Siberia, but there's not much in it...

Seemed to work Ok for Argentina.

It's funny how you despise the people who fund your dole money. Envy, I guess.

I always ask for only welsh pound coins in my dole money....

When I work I'm happy to go over the border and pillage english money though.

Always good to watch any tournament that England are in so I can support the other side and then watch the smarmy faces change when they get knocked out early. A definite highlight for me.

Ah, some words of wisdom from our Scottish football correspondent....

We could win. But as a protest against the hosts we will lose every game.

What does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_the_Octopus think?

Good to see that UBS are concentrating on the important parts of the world economy. Just as well they have a monopoly position. Which still won't be enough to save them from the coming tsunami.

Not much I should think seeing as he's dead

England 4th, so semi-finalists. I see they've failed to take into account England's abysmal penalty shoot out record which usually sees them get to the quarter finals at best.

Though with Southgate choosing a young team maybe he's hoping they can emulate the U17 and U20 World Cup wins of recent times. Any of those players in the squad, if not why not? As they said about Owen or some other young star back in the day, "if they're good enough they're old enough".

England will play either Brazil or Germany in the Quarter final, assuming they get that far. So, sadly, I have to agree with you on this one. Oh God, I feel dirty now...

Well, if you believe their simulation odds, then Brazil / Germany odds of winning are way above the Betting exchanges.

24% Germany, 19.8% Brazil versus 17.2 and 16.95%

According to this, it's a 42% chance one of these two will win it. No brainer.

Dead cert.
