villaguy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) We must surely be the worst team going to Brazil Stop the needless negativity. Although they definitely won't win it, Australia,Iran, Mexico, Switzerland and some of the playoff winners who we don't know yet are much worse I wouldn't say we are better than Mexico for definite, Switzerland aren't a bad team next to ours either. I'm not sure on Australia's form. This is the first world cup that I've ever thought we have absolutely no chance at all Edited October 15, 2013 by villaguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I feel no pain when we lose, yet I feel no jubilation when we are winning, international football means nothing to me. We're just a mediocre team, it's like watching a David O'Leary Villa Why watch then? I have absolutely no interest in jabbing forks in my eyes, but I don't feel the need to tell everyone that... Sometimes watching England is like jabbing a fork in your eye... Edited October 15, 2013 by AVFCforever1991 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure on Australia's form. This is the first world cup that I've ever thought we have absolutely no chance at all Australia struggled to qualify, and have lost their last 2 games 6-0. They are also now managerless. It's safe to say England are a better team then Australia. Also Switzerland had the easiest group ever, not may of their players would get in the England team. Mexico are really poor at the moment, 4th in the CONCACAF section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted October 15, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2013 Pretty sure Iran aren't hosts and even our Aussie residents admit this is a relatively poor Australia at the moment. England are far from the worst team going to Brazil. You won't win it despite what your media will shove down our throats over the next 8 months but you'll be fine. Expect another quarter final elimination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Gerrard is well past his prime, are there no better options? Are you watching the game? Gerrard been terrific. if this is the best England performance you've seen in many a year then yes I am, unless your many a year only means a few years You've just qualified for the world cup so enjoy.

PaulC Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Far from the worst team to qualify. Actually a little bit more optimistic now with Townsend in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaguy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah I agree my original statement was some way off being accurate, but we are still a bad team with not a cat in hells chance of getting any success out of Brazil.

Villa87 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 We have some exciting players thats for sure! We won't do much but its great to be at a world cup in Brazil!! On a side note... How good is Townsend?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 We have some exciting players thats for sure! We won't do much but its great to be at a world cup in Brazil!! Agreed. I think some fans like to just look forward to watching their team in the World Cup. Why has it got to be "Oh well we won't win it". So? Who cares, we're not expected to win it, we don't expect to win it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How good is Townsend?!! He's been a revelation. We've seen many players with similar attributes who are afraid to have a go so its so refreshing to see a player play without any fear. He will be a threat to any defence. Wellbeck is rubbish though isn't he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares, we're not expected to win it, we don't expect to win it. It's great to watch them compete undoubtedly, but it's great thinking that they have an outside chance of winning too. I'm not even getting a hint of that niggle of a feeling this time. England as the Birthplace of the game and having a massive football industry should be able to achieve those expectations that in my opinion. Or am I being too harsh?
