Football World Cup - Russia 2018

[Brandane]

As for memories of Scotland, they may be distant but still clear.

1978 (like 1974, one of the World Cups when England failed to qualify); I remember this like it was yesterday:

Aye, terrible that - Theresa May breaking a pledge. Whatever next!

Joking aside, I'm a firm believer that this sort of stuff is one of the main reasons why England underperform (as a populous nation with football as the number one sport)

The players are under massive media pressure, personally, to perform. They know they will be hammered personally if they don't put in a really good performance. Fear of failure. Negative thinking. Poor performance

Hopefully the manager has managed to dispel this thinking

Uh? The Sun has mispelled 'can', but let's hope we kane anyway!

Not sure whether to don my 2004 (slightly knackered) England top tonight? Didn't bring much luck in Lisbon so don't want to tempt fate...tough one?

Tut tut! This

is the kind of thing that makes you jocks look bitter and twisted. I suppose you'll be having 'pich ups' when we eventually go out the tournament. It's so pitiful that you gain pleasure from someone else's misery. You remind me of a fair section of Burnley fans who live to see Blackburn Rovers lose,rather than Burnley win. I once asked a 'Dingle' and he admitted that he'd rather see Blackburn relegated than Burnley promoted..now how sad is that?!
You Jocks on here who want Engurland to lose are in good company though. You have wee Jimmy Sturgeon as your cheerleader!

I've just read it. The landlord is exactly the type i'm on about. I bet wee jimmy Sturgeon would like him in her cabinet.

Yeah, probably. Then they could make "unneighbourly" remarks to their hearts content.

 

[Accy cyclist]

Do we know how many Engurland fans will make the journey to Stalingrad? I'm supposing not as many as we've seen travel to world cups in France and Germany,due to the distance and the 'authoritarian' crap they'd have to face. I don't think we'll be seeing Engurland fans pissed up and fighting with the plod in Russia.

 

[AndyRM]

I can predict with confidence there will be exactly 0 fans from either side in Stalingrad tonight.

If they use sat nav they will be in Poland

 

[Levo-Lon]

Hope all the hype pays off..
I'm predicting 2-1 England

No, they won't.
