Well in that case I feel even worse for them and really hope they qualify for the next one. They may well do, they're skillful, they pass the ball around well and quickly. When England beat them 4-0 in last year's euros they really had an off day ans England were unusually good that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now my two countries, England and Wales, are in the same group (I was born and raised in England but my mum and grandparents were born and raised in Wales and now I live in Wales too). Oh dear this is a bit tricky. I think my ideal scenario is for England and Wales to draw and then both win both their other games so they both progress! (Afterall England beat Wales in Euro 2016 thanks to that sublime bit of Sturridge skill). If England and Wales were in the World Cup final (extremely unilkely, I know), at the end of the day I'd want England to win as they're my first team and I'm a bit more English than Welsh. But I always want Wales to win against any team other than England ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Supporting Wales 100% even though I’m English… I’m no glory hunter and I’m a quarter Welsh… I wasn’t alive the last time England won a trophy… and since they have, West Ham fans have said “we won the World Cup” That’s all well and good because West Ham are a proper club, so I’ll give them that… I just couldn’t possibly bring myself to cheer on Man City players and listen to their scumbag fans say the same kind of drivel for the rest of my lifetime… There was nothing about the England squad that lost to Hungary that I like, respect or support… 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often do you hear that phrase? England winning the World Cup bothers you because of what some fans of a club supposedly say? How are West Ham a "proper club"? What is a "proper club"? Why does it matter who a player plays for when they represent their country? What was so wrong with the squad that played Hungary and why dont you respect or support it? If I was being polite I would say this post was nonsensical. If I was being less polite I would describe it as unequivocal nonsense. Luckily I'm polite.

Fair enough, that's the middle of the night! I don't think I will either as I'll probably be in Chile, and it will be about 4am there, I think. Group B is a quirky group: three English speaking countries plus Iran. Unusual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 This is Argentina’s cup imo. In form team, outstanding goalie and one of the best players in the world pretty much saving himself for this tournament. The route to the final could also be favourable if they win their group 36 years is way to long for them to go without wining the World Cup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it 98 they had that crazy game that Iran scored the winner near the end? Do you reckon this game still has the same significance as back then?

There’s quite a lot of interesting match ups in store for the neutrals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
