It does tend to show a bit of a trend, even in recent years when the traditional difficulties experienced by South American sides is diminishing due to so many of their player's playing in Europe, they still under achieve.

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
Right - as I'm not a football person;
If England were to lose on Saturday would they be knocked out?
Does it get shown on sky or normal TV?

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
no, although it does greatly reduce their chances of getting through to the next round.
8 groups of 4 teams
the 4 teams play each other once(each team plays 3 games)
3 points for a win, 1 for a draw
top 2 teams from each group qualify for 2nd round
most of(if not all) the matches will be on sky, but they will be shown on BBC or ITV as well

No they are in a group of 4 so its the top 2 after 3 games who go through.
The games are on BBC and ITV.

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
ITV and BBC own the Uk rights. They sub-letted (?) them to UKTV any game on UKG2 will also be on either BBC or ITV.

BBC/BBC HD/ITV/ITV HD + Sky will probably have some kind of rights somewhere!

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
It's the eve of your first World Cup game and as a sickeningly nationalist Welshman this goes against everything I have been taught, and it's the last time I will EVER say this, but in the spirit of harmony on CF......
Good Luck England!
I'm now off to scrub myself down with carbolic soap

Re: World Cup 2006 Thread
Well, I'd like to wish Good luck to all of the various british teams taking part. It would be nice to have the world cup won by someone from GB.
