look and ye shall find. i'd just like to see a post from you where you display the formidable footballing acumen you believe you possess.
There's nothing wrong with making predictions before a football game, millions of people do it. Can you just try and not be a dick all the time? Just be a normal person for once. I find your posts extremely tedious. I've never put anyone on ignore before but you've tempted me so many times over the years.

i haven't said there is anything wrong with making predictions before a football game: i find your strawman twattery very tedious. go on then, make a prediction. i'll give you 2-1 to colombia as mine, not out of any grand insight into colombia but because england have such a lamentable record against latin american teams at the world cup.
 
I shall be watching it here while entertaining the small one, Mr. QofG's will be hoping the WiFi at the theatre where he had his dress rehearsal doesn't conk out!

A friend and colleague at work Is Colombian, she showed me her football shirt earlier that she'll be wearing later.

I really hope England win, I'm not fussed about them progressing further as they are a young team and I'm not expecting it but a win tonight would be great
 
They'll be showing it at the Dickens won't they? :D
Yep. :thumbs: I nipped out of work to sneak the 2nd half of Brazil/Mexico in the Dickens yesterday. Just one telly on, which was ghosting badly.
The Highfield look to still have the big screen up outside ready for tonight. Partner refuses to go though, so it's telly and a few cans.
 
I'm not looking forward to this game one bit, so am going to drink plenty of ale to get through it. :thumbs:

Couldn't give a shit that it's a school night, my country needs me.
Aye, there's not much that's enjoyable about these occasions, either it's some awful performance by England or they get a narrow lead and there's the agony of poor 'game management'.

southgate's made a rod for his own back with his comments about how happy he's been with the england performance. defeat tonight might be enough to see him reading a p45 by friday morning.
 
No chance, he'll get another few years either way.
gareth stanley southgate, you have been found guilty of the charges brought by this court and it is now my duty to pass sentence. you are an habitual manager who accepts bookings as an occupational hazard and presumably accepts sacking in the same casual manner. we therefore feel constrained to commit you to the maximum term allowed for these offences — you will not manage a club for five years.
 
England gave the ball away cheaply a lot in dangerous positions the first couple of games and ended up scrambling back towards their own goal. Won't get away with that against better opposition.

I'll go for 1-1 and Columbia on penalties.

I think pessimism is the correct approach to England matches in the knockout stages given our history.

Yup, recent history makes grim reading. Won only two knockout games since the 90's, pretty poor record against Latin American teams. Oh hum. Its the hope that gets us all in the end.
 
Innit! “£1 bet only | Minimum £5 deposit | Plus £5 free bet should your bet lose | Winnings paid in free bets”

:rolleyes:

I'm no expert on this but I don't think that's quite right. It says the enhanced odds are paid in free bets which appears to be 40/1 available after Kane scores should it happen. It does specifically state that winning bets are paid in cash. Dunno.

All I can see are Coral promotions, like the bit you quoted.

The evils of bookmakers is about the only thing I agree with Erdogan on. At the very least, this nonsense about being paid in 'free bets' should be illegal.
