Hahaha and we could have had Juan and his rather good looking team mates[/B]
and i have to watch a final with that really unattractive South African playing...Percy Montgomery...shut my eyes every time he kicks the ball....
The problem is that England don't even use their forward platform to TRY and score... From a rolling maul, a pushover try, whatever... Honestly, if England win this World Cup it will be some kind of daylight robbery. I'm happy for English fans, especially someone like you who went to Twickenham regularly during the last four years, but rugby is in a ridiculous state of affairs if England can bluff their way into a final and win it.
That's what I've been trying to say all along, but I think you summed it up pretty well.
it was well known fact four years ago that u have to win 3 KO matches to win the world cup rite.....if u r not good enough to do that u r not good enough...wht u did for that last four years has no relevence if u dont play good enough TODAY
Yes, but being **** for four years and winning 3 games in a row isn't just at all, and doesn't full reflect who should be world champs. I know it's all about performing on the day, but it ****s me how England have the chance to win despite being terrible for four years.
Sorry to bring this up Perm, but before the world cup, you were kinda hoping that New Zealand weren't going to win. I'm afraid England deserve to be in the final and sadly New Zealand don't (over the course of this World Cup). I have no qualms in saying that regardless of how England have played over the course of the past four years, that they deserve to be there. What I take exception to was the 'comedic' anti-All Blacks rhetoric. We've had to suffer the indignity of having our media's words thrown back at us after our disappointing exit; having our face rubbed in it by gloating Poms is entirely unnecessary. We have already been hoisted by our own petard and are reaping the emotional baggage of being hyped out of all proportion by our media only to be brought crashing back to earth. After all, it's said that you reap what you sow.
It's all counter-balanced by your divine avatar though. If you ever feel upset that some of the slightly less bruised rugby players aren't playing, just look left to cheer yourself up.
It's called the 2007 World Cup, not the 2003-07 World Tournament based on how teams have been playing during this period, based on numerous factors, including the attractiveness of the rugby, and how much Perm likes their team/country.
Not at all.
I've got nothing against England, nor against the way they play. I've stated in the past that I quite enjoy watching their style of rugby, and it can be quite good to watch for those who appreciate forward play. In any case, I've stated my position often enough.so I'm not going to bother anymore.
And we all agree with you. What are you trying to argue?
I agree. Toilet concept and a game neither team wanted to play, I'm sure. Was actually a pretty decent game of Rugby tho, not that that's any defence of the play-off.
That England aren't actually that good at all, which some members have been suggesting.
If you're trying to tell me Argentina didn't want to play that game, then quite frankly you're mad.
I'm sure I can cope with having her there for a month.. But if I need cheering up, I won't be looking at my ava
