BRING IT ON!!!
Well as if our footballing woes could get any worse.....yep, the Germans in the next round :(
They look beatable but sadly not by this England team despite a much better England performance today, although that said we are due a result against the Germans
BRING IT ON!!!

Will be a 'fun' game no matter :)
Bound to be a good game, England Vs Germany games are always crackers
It's business time! This is what the world cup is about, not all that group stage stuff.
Damn though! I'm at the England-Australia ODI though!
Too right...revenge for 1990 & 1996Originally Posted by Dazzler
I think the draw has it that England could play Argentina, should they beat Germany.
Cool, I wil look forward to that now.
:D
frankly we will get hammered..
lets be serious boys.. we only beat Slovenia by 1-0 and they aren't exactly known as the gold standard of football :lol: :lol: :lol:
nevertheless will watch it like all of the England games and then wish i could make up for the wasted 90 minutes of my life...
I will be a great Sunday afternoons viewing,if Ozil and Schweinsteiger loose their race for fitness then England's chances improve, I thought Mesut Ozil was impressive against Ghana.

I think the Germans are beatable but i am not sure that this England side is even close to playing good enough football to win :( , anything can happen in knock out football and i would desperately love to see an England result buts lets get real, i think the Germans are the only ones that would be happy with the way the draw has worked out. None the less, Sunday 3pm - barbie on - a few beers and a com'on England chant -
I'm going to be at McCartney in Hyde Park :(
We'll need to raise our game a further level to stand a chance against them. Succeeding in World Cups is what Germany are all about.
I was hoping we would get France :lol: .

Following their some what dismal performance they got bumped from 1st class to Economy for the flight home :D (Absolutely true btw)Originally Posted by swanbourne
This guy sums it up quite well unfortunately...
"Just how tough is it for England? Well, it couldn't be any tougher. If they manage to make it past Germany, they will most likely face Argentina in the quarter-finals. Then Spain. Then Brazil. They are the four teams England would least like to face (with apologies to Holland).
It's the team that always beats us, followed by the best team in the competition, followed by the pre-tournament favourites, followed by the country that has won more World Cups than anyone else. Nice."

"I looked with pity not untinged with scorn upon these trivial-minded passers-by"
Not sure why everyone is on about this. It could very well shake out that Holland must face Spain, then Brazil right out of the box. Would everyone rather Brazil be in the same bracket? So far, Germany is the only team to have suffered a loss and win their group. Could be much worse.Originally Posted by boddah
You would have gotten France as only Italy can - at the airport. :twisted:Originally Posted by swanbourne
Imagine if England do beat ze germans. Everyone will run around in a state of delirium claiming England are destined to win the world cup, the odds are massively stacked against them BTA get through the next 2 games and why not? After all the German team is decidedly average, stop Messi and you stop Argentina, Spain can beat themselves sometimes and Brazil are certainly not unbeatable as proven by the fact they haven't won every competition going these past 20 years. Is an England word cup triumph any less likely than at any other time since 1970?

We'll probably struggle during the first half but then the Yanks will turn up to help us out in the second half.

Our Unit will be assisting the German Police, at the public viewing in Celle, We will be there when it all kicks off after the game!

BTW - how's Japan doing ?
Let hope we beat em tomorow. Win or lose I don't think I'll remember alot about it anyway ;)
Der Kaiser Chief (that's Beckenbauer, for those not following his week's-worth of trash-talking to any journo who'll thrust a mic in the direction of his comedy mullet) will be spitting chips if they do. So I'd like to see England win just for that. It all depends on whether they can get the ball out to "Finney on the wing".Originally Posted by NJH
