The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup

[ONeill]

Alonso makes it 3-0 after 50 mins (Villa and Silva).

[ONeill]

Fabregas just on the pitch and makes it 4-0. That's Fabregas of Arselona fame.

[ONeill]

Torres on for Villa - 65 mins.

[ONeill]

...and Torres scores 5-0.

Pedro - 6-0 - delightful football. Poland all over the joint.

Spain are gassing them.

Forgot how good Spain are right now.

ppower offering odds on how many england players will sing the national anthem.

Between 4-6, 5/2
7-9, 11/10
10-11 2/1

by my reckoning the england team will be;
james/green,
johnson king terry cole
lennon gerr lamps jcole/carrick (carrick maybe in the middle with gerrad on left)
crouch rooney

james and green both sing anthem
as do terry and a. cole. johnson kind of mumbles it, while king doesnt appear to sing it
gerrard, lampard and jcole/carrick sing it. lennon doesnt
crouch does and rooney doesnt it

that means 8 sing it including johnson. ill be lumping on the 11/10. ive watched about 20 england national anthems on youtube to find this out

replacements in case others get injured; milner - doesnt sing, carra-no, upson-yes, heskey-no

cant wait until the world cup starts and with the time difference should get to see a lot of it.  Cant really look past Brazil or Spain for it but would love to see Argentina win it just for the craic of seeing Maradona going mad again.  For a while i thought he was going to name himself in the squad after the formation he played in their last match!!

As long as france don't win i will be happy enough

Nasty Minder. WWII was a tough time for the Poles without you're snide comments.

Cmon France!

They mightn't make it out of their group but I hope they do just to annoy the English, Irish and their media.

[Billys Boots]

Cmon France!

They mightn't make it out of their group but I hope they do just to annoy the English, Irish and their media.

Cmon France!

They mightn't make it out of their group but I hope they do just to annoy the English, Irish and their media.

Possible qtr final opponents for England...if they both win their groups and win their last 16 games.  In that case it will have to be Allez Les Bleus
