You people are delirious and delusional
(I know what you mean though, I had also been thinking along the lines of "in these runs they usually get one 'standout' performance, I just hope it wasn't against Panama".)

3-2 to England.
They're going to put us through the ringer again.
Fancy Stones to get another header in there somewhere.

Bit of over confidence sneaking in here chaps.
Playing European opposition in a tournament is always a bit of tough one in that everyone has a preconceived notion of who we should be beat and who we may struggle against. Sweden very much fall into the category of teams we wouldn't be overly worried about if we were drawn in the same qualifying group as them, get a draw away and beat them at home sort of thing. Thing is, the Dutch and Italians probably thought that as well.
In a one off match anything can happen and I think its going to be a close game. We need to defend our set pieces well though, the Swedes would have been very interested in that Colombian goal. They do look crap up front mind, some bloke who plays in the UAE and another who struggles to get a regular game for a pretty shit team,

Sweden objective favourites iirc
I once heard a Scottish guy on the radio explaining the difference between Scottish football fans and English football fans. The English go around telling everyone we're going to win the World Cup but deep down we know there is no chance. The Scottish go around telling everyone their team is useless and they have no chance but deep down they believe they can actually win the thing.
In fairness Lawro's a prick.
They should just get rid of all these old pro's from the punditry merry go round. The game has changed so much since they played they bring nothing more than the average blow hard in the pub. When you see people like Gary Neville, Rio or Lee Dixon giving their take you realise just how useless the older bunch are.
Anyone older than Shearer or Ian Wright should be given the tin tack. Off you fuck Lawro and Terry fucking Butcher and collect that loon Hoddle whilst you're on the way out.

Yeah, I guess they must have played it a bit 20 years ago or something then quietly forgot about it.
It didn't make any sense then either.

It made more sense then because England was actually hosting the tournament so in that sense football was coming to England (whether you think England can correctly call itself the home of football is a somewhat controversial subject). Nowadays it seems more generally mean the trophy itself. I think there might be some poetic licence being employed.

Edit> I fucked this up. Didn't realise it was the first half score at 17/1

So the other bet (Kane to score 50/1) just paid out in credit rather than cash? I wasn't on the other thread and not sure I have the energy to wade through it.
