England's Path

Ok....I've just had a look at the schedule and if things go as per rankings (obviously that's a BIG IF given that upsets invariably occur in a tourney like this).....
England's path (if they top their pool which they really should) looks like:
V Poland (2nd rnd)
V Holland (Qf)
V Brazil (Sf)
V Italy v Argentina (final)

Hopefully it will be England V Argentina because hey I love England-Argentina contests.

But there you go......it doesn't look too bad does it now England fans ? :)

On a serious note though, I'm backing England to at least make the semis this time.
Hope I'm proved right.

Tempting fate a tad, no?

Although if you're an Aussie I can see why you might want to... ;)

We have a rotten record v Sweden (no competitive wins over them in 35 years) so I hope we've already qualified by the time we meet them. Poland we always beat but it's tough after that.

&, of course, we've never beaten Brazil in a competitve game.... :-O

Brumby, I'd love for the Jules Rimet trophy to be won by a team that has never won the WC before like say Holland.....but I know that's pretty unlikely for 2006.
So if It is to be an established nation, then I hope England do it.

all true, but the Sweden game this time shouldn't be much of an issue since that clash should be to decide who wins the group. I wont mind if Sweden win though because we may be able to avoid Brazil in the semi-final and once all the boys are playing well, we got to back the boys to beat Brazil..

seriously though, can england meet germany in the final ? if so, i will predict that will come about.

The Jules Rimet trophy was given to Brazil in 1970, wasn't it?

It lasted nearly as long as the FA Cup when the fools at 16 Lancaster Gate trusted Aston Vanilla with it in 1895.
