If the UK does split up (prob will eventually, but long-term) I think you'd see an independent Northern Ireland in the EU.

Australia v Brazil for me.

Australia win 5-4 on penalties after everyone scores until Schwarzer saves Ronaldo's penalty. With the Australians then telling them each of their names as they shake his hand after the game.

A few weeks later he's asked if he knows of any Australian players and he says, "The one at Osasuna and the one who saved my penalty in the World Cup Final."

Think the southern Irish government (not the people mind) are happy not to have the north, purely because its such a political headache, thanks to certain orange clad 'doctors' (i cant actually type his name, not without falling foul of the word filter). Total independance is the only alternative for the north


Anyway, the final

England v Germany:

After knocking over the Italians in the quarters (who's tactic of running away then changing sides hasnt worked since 1944), and making the French surrender in the semis (breaking Scotland v Estonia's record of fastest international match), England lined up to face the old enemy. In a re run of the 1966 final, but this time on German soil. Naturally german fans are expectant, almost arrogant. Naturally English fans show blind loyalty despite the fact half the squad have bird flu (the half dead michael carrick is still prefered to the fully fit standby Phil Neville). Due to gangrene Rooney has had his right leg amputated, so sven puts him on the left wing ahead of joe cole

Only one ref can manage such a match. No, not Uriah Rennie, but Pierre Luigi Collina comes back for one match.

Things start bad for Germany, as a high ball goes between crouch's legs and over the defender stood between them, owen chases the ball into the box, provoking the usual 'How dare you f*****g come within 20 yards of me' reaction from Lehman, who promtly pushes him over and demands Owen booked. Unlike Premiership refs, Collina has a spine, so germany are down to 10 men.

Unfortunatly the first half is bogged down with both sides entrenched in their own half. At one point rooney advanced 6 inches to the delight of the crowd, untill they realised he'd lost balance and fallen over. Sven moves in upfront in the hope he can do it again in the box and win a penalty. Play is held up just before half-time due to floodlight failure. Dozy Crouch wasnt looking where he was going and smashed a bulb.

Early in the second half the sides are evened when Beckham earns a red card and the George Cross for kicking Ballack in the Ballacks.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Sven, seeing a major feat of genius is needed to secure the game, subs Crouch before a corner to replace him with Hargreaves. The german players promptly start laughing at the fact that such a p**s-poor excuse for a footballer is on the pitch they dont notice Gary Neville sneak in at the back post to score the winning goal.

In celebration, the Queen officially declares July 9th National Bushy Tache day. America delcares it Dominance Day to celebrate the day an American single handidly won the World Cup, because the Canadians count as their own when it comes to victories.


So there you have it, 1-0 England in the final, Neville for the winner, get down the bookies. I've seen the future

Has a foreign team ever actually been in the final of the 'World' Series of baseball?

If you count Canadia as foregin, then probably yes.

Anyway I bet a lot of teams would like to met Poland in the final and come up the goal keeper who made the gaffle of the year against Colombia

I think the Expos got in a few years ago.

EDIT: Not actually, got to a league championship once and have never been back.

EDIT: The Toronto Blue Jays are the only non-American team to win the World Series.
