Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
Something tells me we wont be seeing this often, unless he starts a trend and they all do it, personally it's better than some of the nonsense they do, particually don't like the baby rocking one, I would quite like it if their goal was struck of when they do it.

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
England are second favorites as from today according to most bookies...
Brazil 11/4 England 7/1 Argentina 8/1 Germany 8/1 Italy 9/1 Holland 12/1 France 12/1 Spain 14/1 Portugal 20/1 Czech Republic 33/1
It would be nice to see England make it to the final but I can't see that happening.
I would personally put England at 9/1 with Italy which moves the host nation and Argentina into the second favourite spot.
Thoughts anyone ?

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
I can't see Brazil winning it,as for Italy the last time they were involved with a match fixing scandle they won it so who knows, I also think the Czech Republic will do well as a lot of their stars know that this is probably the last chance at international level.

Yep, The Czech Republic made the semi finals of the euro 2004 competition, only to be beaten by Greece of all people, maybe it will be a more open competition this time around, with the Ivory Coast as the dark horses

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
World Cup 2006 Rules.
1. From 9th June to 9th July 2006, you should read the sports section of the newspaper so that you are aware of what is going on regarding the World Cup, and that way you will be able to join in the conversations. If you fail to do this, then you will be looked at in a bad way, or you will be totally ignored. DO NOT complain about not receiving any attention.
2. During the World Cup, the television is mine, at all times, without any exceptions. If you even take a glimpse of the remote control, you will lose it (your eye).
3. If you have to pass by in front of the TV during a game, I don’t mind, as long as you do it crawling on the floor and without distracting me. If you decide to stand nude in front of the TV, make sure you put clothes on right after because if you catch a cold, I wont have time to take you to the doctor or look after you during the World Cup month.
4. During the games I will be blind, deaf and mute, unless I require a refill of my drink or something to eat. You are out of your mind if you expect me to listen to you, open the door, answer the telephone, or pick up the baby that just fell from the second floor... it wont happen.
5. It would be a good idea for you to keep at least 2 six packs in the fridge at all times, as well as plenty of things to nibble on, and please do not make any funny faces to my friends when they come over to watch the games. In return, you will be allowed to use the TV between 12am and 6am, unless they replay a good game that I missed during the day.
6. Please, please, please!! if you see me upset because one of my teams is losing, DO NOT say “get over it, its only a gameâ€, or “don’t worry, they’ll win next timeâ€. If you say these things, you will only make me angrier and I will love you less. Remember, you will never ever know more about football than me and your so called “words of encouragement†will only lead to a break up or divorce.
7. You are welcome to sit with me to watch one game and you can talk to me during halftime but only when the commercials are on, and only if the halftime score is pleasing me. In addition, please note I am saying “one†game, hence do not use the World Cup as a nice cheesy excuse to “spend time togetherâ€.
8. The replays of the goals are very important. I don’t care if I have seen them or I haven’t seen them, I want to see them again. Many times.
9. Tell your friends NOT to have any babies, or any other child related parties or gatherings that requires my attendance because:
I will not go,
I will not go, and
I will not go.
But, if a friend of mine invites us to his house on a Sunday to watch a game, we will be there in a flash.
10. The daily World Cup highlights show on TV every night is just as important as the games themselves. Do not even think about saying “but you have already seen this...why don’t you change the channel to something we can all watch??â€, the reply will be: “Refer to Rule #2 of this listâ€.
11. And finally, please save your expressions such as “Thank God the World Cup is only every 4 yearsâ€. I am immune to these words, because after this comes the Champions League, Premier League, Italian League, Spanish League, etc etc.
12. Thank you for your co-operation.
Regards,
Men of the World

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
I think Portugal are a good bet. Runners up in Euro, and had a great qualifying campaign. I have them playing Brazil in the semis, just edging it and going on to win the WC!

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
I know it's mean, but it made me laugh!
A Scottish colleague of mine (who I have to say does have a sense of humour, and will appreciate the gag ), is foolishly out of the office tomorrow, so it would have been rude of me not to do it
Oh, and apologies to all of our Scottish members
