Wouldn't be too unhappy with that, assuming we go out to Holland. I predicted quarter's, semi's with some luck. Don't want to lose to the Argies thoughCraig said:Play like you did last night and it might be another Quarter Finals exit.
Really? Pretty well every one I know (the ones with brains at least) think that the quarters is par for the course, and anything else is a bonus.Blaze said:Basically every english person I hear speak says that they know England are going to win the World Cup... I hope not.
Where is this area of unbridled optimism then, since there's a fair number of English people on here, most of whom have never said that?Blaze said:Basically every english person I hear speak says that they know England are going to win the World Cup... I hope not.

Indeed, I rate England fairly highly, at least on potential, and I thought they'd be a good chance to win it. Having seen all the teams in action I'm not so sure now, but I still think it's possible. I think Spain could possibly cause a bit of a shock too, they've been very classy so far.luckyeddie said:Patriotism is a strange beast, agreed.
Incidentally, there are nine on CW who have tipped England to win it in our poll - more than any other nation. You could argue that they are nearly as daft as the three astute individuals who picked Australia to win it.
Now let's see: who did FaaipDeOiad pick?
England have a good set of players, but a mediocre team. Great players /= great team.FaaipDeOiad said:They say that every world cup though.
