Is it possible to get a 4-week block-booking for Lough Derg for June/early July?

Ara go on Hardy. Admit it. You like the World Cup. Everyone likes the World Cup :D

Or are you intending on going into hiding after Offaly's long grass ambush of the Royals?

I'm thinking of going into hiding in advance, after what I saw on Sunday.

Yeah, I used to like the World Cup. But I can't like it now. But when the hype starts, it can be very infectious and even the most resolute can falter. Come on Slovakia.

paddypower odds
Spain 4/1
Brazil 5/1
England 11/2
Messi 8/1
Italy 13/1
Germany 13/1
France 14/1
Holland 14/1
Portugal 25/1
Ivory Coast 30/1

Holland look a good bet at 14/1 as does Portugal at 25/1,hard to look past Spain though IMHO

4th in the 1950 World Cup is the best Spain have done so far... i'm sure they can improve on that stat?

Always look forward to the World Cup. Even as I get more cynical about soccer as a game, the tournament itself still excites me.

Anyway can I be the first to say 'Don't write off the Germans'.


That cliché always reminds me of the famous Motson quote at the start of an attacking move in a World Cup qualifier between England and Germany.... "......and here come the Germans.....Kuntz"..... :D :D

Looking at those odds Italy look to be the best value bet, 4 times winners, 2 times runners up & once 3rd are worth a each way flutter

but i can't see past Brazil or Argentina

For those that think England will do well? they don't have a good goalkeeper or Right back will Cole be fit on time? Rios form is a big worry, they have no shape in midfield & too much will be expected of Rooney!

the only thing going for them is they have a good Manager

QuoteIf Brazil were to play Spain they would overpower them in size alone

In a game where the best player in the world is slightly bigger than a dwarf I'm sure Spain aren't overly worried. And Ross as your missus has told you on more than 1 occasion - size doesn't matter  :D
