They have a fair shot. But there's far too much chance involved. Our group looks quite fun, though USA are by no means a joke team these days.

Anyone know if games will be shown at times amenable to the UK?

Absolute perfection, games are 12:30, 3:00 and 7:30s

Maybe you could watch it on ESPN or something, to avoid all that guff?

I'm sure England will win

I don't really bother about International football, in fact I had 550 quid on England beating Scotland when Scholes scored 2, I very very nearly put down 400 on Scotland to win at Wembley on 9-1, I did not though. Damn.

I/We just get bored of the whole Diana type emotional thing you lot have to go through, every game will have 10 minutes on the England team during half time.

I'm more interested in watching a footbal tournament that watching 2 weeks of England are going to win, all day, every day, then the 'we were robbed' stuff for the next week.

Hills are now putting England at 5/1.

Bookies are just lowering to protect from idiots with too much money.

In the same way I'm not bothered about the champions league... as a Bristol City supporter.

Not that you sound bitter or anything ....

You will mention '66 about 4,000 times, we will have to 'go across to the England camp' every hour to hear John Terry describe team moral and what colour every player's turds were in the morning.

When England get bombed out at some point we will have to go through the tradiational stages of England losing another campaign.

Anger
Crying
Injustice
Blame

and the usual promise that we have been hearing for 43 years of...

'In 4 years time'

Then the penalty missers will be doing adverts.

England do not have a chance really.

Who have Scotland got?
