      Always say that about GSTQ. Players get criticised for not showing passion during the anthem like other nations but how on Earth can you show passion to that? It’s dull and has no relevance to the Country at all. We couldn’t replicate the Brazil v Mexico anthems if we were the host.

      Bring back Land of Hope & Glory.

        The anti German rhetoric and jingoism despite them being our allies!

        Here he is. Herr Deutsch sein wollen.

          Good draw.

          Won’t be taking a day off to go there though.

          The league fixtures are out tomorrow if I’m right?

            Rugby league men calling a nondescript little tournament played between 3 countries that only actually have a regional competition and a couple of south pacific islands, ‘the word cup’ :lol:

            Which 3 Countries are they then?[/quote]

            You tell me, better still name me the other nations that give this nonsense of a sport legitimacy to call a competition ‘the rugby league world cup’ – flaming hell those notorious insular sports of baseball, basketball and American football are played professionally in more places than the M62 game.[/quote]

            Well I would but I don’t know which 3 you’re talking about.

                Commentators waffling about something that isnt an issue.

                  ITV should be banned from all forms of sport. Dreadful, dreadful viewing.

                  Is it me, or is Adrian Chiles getting uglier by the day?

                    Which applies to all managers, everywhere. Including Rosler. I’m thinking of opening a book on when we all turn on him and suddenly decide he’s not the daschund’s nuts

                    He’s useless. Too much rotation and fannying about. The players got to the cup semi final in spite of him and it was his tactics that cost us against QPR and Maribor.

                      France 98:

                      I watched the opening game against Switzerland in school. Well…I listened to the first half in history class on the sly almost giving myself away when a classroom next door cheered and people in my class excitedly said “England have scored” to which I replied “no they haven’t” without thinking. The second half we watched in Geography.

                      I remember the Beckham goal against Columbia. Great strike.

                      I was then on a flight to New Zealand for the Argie game and had the stewards getting the score from the cockpit. They let me in the cockpit for the penalties with the scores sent by a fax type message.

                      Japan 2002:

                      Was sitting my exams during this but didn’t stop me being in the pub at half 7 for Nigeria and half 12 for the Argie game. JayT should be able to post a picture from the Denmark game of the pub we were in. Busy is the not the word. I had an exam straight after the Brazil game sadly so had to watch from home.

                      Germany 2006:

                      My Manager at work at the time went over for the QF and watched it at one of the fan fests. Said the heat was unbearable at times. I can’t remember too much about the games TBH.

                      South Africa 2010:

                      Watched the USA game at my cousins wedding reception. Not worth it. Raced home from London for the Germany game having watched the rugby the day before and stayed over. Again…..not worth it.

                        In the interests of fairness though, I think he was right in disallowing that Croatian goal when it was still 2-1

                        50/50 challenge that the keeper lost I thought. Hate the protection that keepers get considering they already have an advantage.

                          banners at England games from palaces like Aylesbury,Yeovil, Worksop, Witton Albion ,Yeading .

                          What’s wrong with that? All in England aren’t they? I’d rather see that than the stuff you get in the PL.

                          That ref was horrendous btw

                            Why does the pin keep falling out of this thread?

                            Come on lads some blu tac will do the trick.

                            The pin hasn’t fallen out once.

                            If you view the forum thread which shows topics from all boards then yes it will move down as that is chronological. If you view the Cockney Latic Main Forum board then it will be stuck at the top.

                              Players who roll over four or five times when they’ve tripped over another players leg !

                              Not exactly confined to the World Cup that though is it really.
