The World Cup Draw - Dec 4th, 5:45pm GMT

[Team Andromeda]

I don't support England because I think they'll win the World Cup, I support England and as a result I believe that they can win it.

Here we go again , The simple fact of the matter is any team has a chance of winning the World Cup , any team that made into the Tournament.
But I bet many supporters of the so called smaller nations, aren't supporting their side , because they thing they can win it
Most will just be happy to be there , and if they never ever make it again , will always continue to support their Team

Maybe if the English Press and Team went to a World Cup just happy to be there , with out the rubbish of we can and should win it , they'll performer a hell of a lot better than they do , and not get knocked out before the Final

I bet every single one of them is thinking "what if...?"

Yes that's what The English supporters have been thinking since 1966

[Flabio]

Although the Welsh have been thinking it for longer...

No the Welsh don't think they'll ever qualify ,much less win the bloody thing

Probably more suitable here (CBA to start a thread).

Togo have been banned from the ACON for 2 cups for withdrawing their team.

That's one classy display on compassion. Jesus Christ.

[Kieran76]

Yeah, I saw that earlier. What a disgusting thing to do.

Got a source for that? I'm struggling to believe any body of people could lack compassion to that degree!

Couldn't believe it when I heard it. Then I read the aforementioned article on BBC Sport. Words fail me. It beggars belief, it really does.

If FIFA had a single crumb of credibility, then not only would they instantly overrule the decision and reinstate Togo, they would also personally demand Issa Hayatou's IMMEDIATE resignation as head of CAF.

Unsurprisingly, FIFA's silence on the matter speaks volumes. Also, given that Sepp Blatter and Jack Warner are the Clowns who run the Circus, I think we all know deep down that somehow the ban and fine are going to be allowed to stand (Would love to be proven wrong about that, btw).

World Football Governance. A complete and utter Joke since 1998.

Disgusting.

[davesol]

But African football's governing body says the decision to pull the team out amounted to governmental interference in the sport.

They weren't banned for withdrawing, they were banned because their govenrment made them withdraw

As a Scotsman i hope England win absolutely f**k all at this years World Cup!

Yet saying that, i do like their new away strip.

[Kieran76]

Don't like it, I hate red anyway and it looks too much like a rugby top. I can imagine all the fat, beer bellied in-ger-land fans squeezing into it and making us look even more like a bunch of cocks.
