FIFA World Cup Germany 2006

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Never said anything about a challenge just that it won't be any more than a 12 point lead in the end. I've already said Chelsea will win!!!!

Yet in each of your posts you've suggested that Man U might "pull a surprise"?

I've suggested that while Chelsea will win it won't be a mammoth points difference between them and the second placed team.

Yes it will!

Not even the Socceroos think they can beat Brazil. Did you hear Bresciano on "The Panel Christmas Wrap"?

the world cup isnt wat it used to be cuz once brazil get through the group stage u know they're gonna win so its like more fun to see who comes 2nd and so on.it like u dont even really have to support brazil u support some other team while knowing brazil is gonna win

If Greece could win Euro '04, Brazil can be unseated in the World Cup '06.

No team is invincible.

why dont we change the forum name to English Premnier League, Can Chelsea Be Caught?
i think we should use a very useful 5-5-0 against Brazil haha

Brazil can be beaten - but not by Australia.

IMO The only team that could stop Brazil is Argentina, not because they're the better team, but because of the rivalry - they could get themselves so fired up for it.

Our guy Jack Warner has done an amazing amount for T&T and Caribbean football. In his time with FIFA he's managed to get 2 extra qualifying spots from CONCACAF, which has been to the benefit of T&T as well as, yes, Jamaica. (shock, awe)

How much did he pay?

Oh I would say that on a good day a fair few of the top European nations could do it to be honest.

The thing about the World Cup is it is a knockout, so luck is needed.

Also, for all their brilliance, Brazil don't always play as well as their reputation suggests.

honours, the word is honours (not honest)

Status, not money.

Let me explain the difference to you, because it's understandable that, not knowing Marc and his West Midlands phraseology, you would find it hard going.

Marc used the phrase "to be honest" meaning "actually" or "as a matter of fact" - he didn't imply honour or honours.

Oh, I can see I'm struggling here. How to think like a Leeds supporter.... ah, I've got it.

"Yes, your honour. The chap outside the Majestyk Night Club was just lying on the pavement bleeding all over my boots when his wallet fell into my inside pocket - honest"

Or

"Honestly, It's been a fair few years since Dirty Leeds have won any honours"

Clear?

 

[The Foxtrot]

yes but did you have to be so harsh

nah man its cool, i am fine with that

 

[Son Of Coco]

Btw, all the Aussies in here who seriously think Australia have a chance of beating Brazil are seriously delusing themselves.

You're right, some people are seriously delused.

 

[roseboy64]

What does that mean? Think Tom's coined a new word.

Status, not money.

I know he's done a lot but he doesn't have to be informed of everything that happens if it's not necessary and it's not. I understand his intentions but feel it's negligible.

What has he been informed of that he doesn't have to be informed of? Are you aware of who Jack Warner is in FIFA? None of it is irrelevant. I fully understand why he'd feel hard-done by Bahrain getting a warmup match in Jamaica days before they played us. After all, we had less than 3 days to adjust to conditions in Bahrain. The players left the night of the home leg (a Saturday) with the fixture in Bahrain on the Wednesday!

Of course I know, I have to. I just mean it's not against the rules so if they want to tell him they can, if they don't want to then don't. Just to say but I'm not a big fan of the current admin too. Maybe he wants his old friend back in the post so he can be kept abreast.
