England v Algeria

[Lo Siento.]

We should win this. Mainly I'd like to see some signs that the lack of organisation and fluidity in the first game was an aberration, rather than the same old England.

1-1

Sorry, I got that the wrong way round. I meant to say 1-1.

No, actually, I was right first time.

1-1.

 

[han]

A scruffy, unconvincing 2-0 to England.

Yeah, that's what I think.

The standard overall for everyone has been pretty crap so far (except Argentina, Germany, Brazil, Mexico ok), so I think we've got slightly more chance than previous times of getting to the final (even though it's probably still a very remote chance).

Algeria were alot worse than us in their first match, and prone to fouls it seems.

I think it's more likely to be a single goal each. Or a complete scuffing of a plucky but limited Algeria by the Three Lions rampant

 

[London_Calling]

sea level will help.

Were dire against the worst team in their group...

I think the sea's where it normally is, actually.

I reckon that sounds about right.

Hope so, anyway. House full of mad screaming England fans, later.

1 - 0 to Algeria I reckon, for the lolz

If they can conjure up the spirit they had to get here against the champions of Africa, who knows but I doubt it.

Anyway there's a good European team playing at 12.30.

yup! so far anyway.

PRNK looked every bit as good/bad as Cote D'Ivoire and the winkers.

but they're not, are they. They'll finish bottom of that group.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

4-0 ENGLAND

Probably yes, but then again maybe Swiss vs Spain won't be the only shock result of the group stages.

Serbia?

I'm watching the match in a different pub tonight, the last pub is now jinxed

 

[TitanSound]

It will be a scrappy affair but I reckon we will win it 2-1.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

I am watching at home with Mr.QofG's - we thought about going out to a bar but then I wouldn't be able to post my amusing and erudite comments on here (at self!)

 

[chieftain]

Why is it agitation to not support England?

You'll find most people who aren't English don't support England. Shocking, I know.

fuck me you're even more predictable that the other twat

 

[Proper Tidy]

fuck me you're even more predictable that the other twat

What do you not get about people not being English and therefore not supporting England?

I don't support Switzerland either. Shame on me.

Fwiw, I reckon England will win comfortably, if not particularly stylishly.

 

[kabbes]

I support EVERY other team, especially when they are playing against each other.

"Come on football!" I shout. And, "Try to win, everyone!"

 

[Pingu]

anyone know where i can get an algerian shirt in time for tonight?

 

[Badgers]

England 6 - 1 (100/1) worth a £1?

Come on teams, that's it, kick the ball, ole ole ole

This reminds me of the first time some friends took their son to the local kids football team (he must have been 5 or 6) and basically at that age they didn't bother with sides they just gave the ball to the kids who ran up and down the pitch scoring into whichever goal they liked!

My mate went looking for one everywhere yesterday - he thought it would be a good addition for his wardrobe, both for tonight and because its fetching shade of Islamic green would go down well with the local fatnecks. Alas, nowhere stocks it.

Richard Dunne still does that.

you could not support them on another thread, maybe?

And we wonder why England struggle at international level
