Sorry Plague. Instead of enjoying watching your pam-enforced 2nd team waltz their way to the final, and inevitably lose, you've got to watch them go out at the first hurdle with no goals scored... and then suffer the indignity of PV4 and myself fighting it out in the final.
At least Leroy George didn't make it to the world cup, that's a positive isn't it?
Pam is the Leroy George of World Cup sweeps dont @ meQuote:

Might not need to retireQuote:

What though is though possibly an issue for us is France now have the ability to pick their Rd 16 opponent
If Argies come 2nd they would play Winner of Australia group
Maybe the French may prefer to play Croatia??
Easy to achieve
Come 2nd
Let the Danes win rest players focus ahead on Rd 16 v Croatia
Which of course would **** Australia over
Starting to ger intriguing
why would anyone wanna play Croatia based on current form?
Cros always the sameQuote:

I dont think the French would fear them
But I think they be more worried about Argentina than Croatia
Deschamps is a weak ****
Anyone who fears Argentina at this point needs to be instantly eliminated.
My fear is more that France & Denmark will still be 0-0 after 60 minutes and both teams will settle for that and run the clock out.
Anyone who underestimates the Argies right now is a ****ing foolQuote:

Lol have either of you actually watched them the last two games? They’re a shambles.Quote:

wowsers thats some fair technique.
Are you saying that Argentina can't beat Nigeria? I know they are a shambles, but they still know how to play football underneath all this rubbish. My comment was basically not to write them off.Quote:

Just like France when Australia played them
V Croatia
They missed a couple in the first half
Gave the lead away when Caballero had a moment
Nearly equalised straight away but the Cro keeper got lucky
10 to go let another one in after a great strike from outside the box from Modric
Then imploded in injury time chasing the game to conceed another
Dont think for a minute that were not in that game the other morning
They were they got reamed for missing their chances
These guys deal with criticism on a scale our snow flakes cant fathom
They be back
Ronaldo is Argentinan?Quote:

Yeah and Ronaldo is always class where as Messi is having a bad WCQuote:

Maybe playing Romero instead of Caballero would have been a good start, and that’s even before his **** up.Quote:

Argentina, France, Germany and Brazil all have the players that on their day, could win any/all of their group games 4-0 and nobody would blink an eyelid. They have multiple superstar players.
Meanwhile the teams with good ethic, tactics and heart are getting results like Russia, Sweden (probably deserved more), Nigeria, Iceland, Japan, and you could probably even add us in there with our performances against decent opposition.
That’s the beauty of the World Cup I guess, all these players from lesser nations are playing for pride.
What’s the saying? A champion team will beat a team of champions.
Well back to the sweeps.
Thanks - it was fun. Look forward to getting another shit team in the next Euros
Asian Cup in JanuaryQuote:

You get to join me in the pub lamenting the performances of both the teams we were selected and the method behind Pam selecting them.Quote:
