england will win the group then get knocked out in the quater finals. it's simple really, england aren't good enough to win it. infact they are miles off.

HA! We haven't had a decent manager in years, so you cant really judge.

The players are awesome, and with Fabio Capello making the players work more efficently(and better) we got a very good chance.

Cheers,

Mark

Edit: Also he's got the best stats of all previous managers.

when we face the likes of spain, brazil (they always hit form in the world cup), germany. then we'll come unstuck, capello is a good manager but i can see personal issues with players letting him down, instead of just looking at their form. "i don't like your mother jermaine, so emile starts above you". first off we don't have a good solid goalkeeper, so we can't count on that. and as for strikers then name one english forward who you would put up against torres or villa. there are non that even come close. i just hope they at least try their best that's all i ask.

i admit, i was foolish enough in 2006 and 2002 to get swept up in this media idea of the fact that they may as well send us the cup in the post before it even starts. but i can see better this time. twats who write for the likes of the mail and the sun, and yes even sky sports news keep falling into the same trap. sven was a good manager for us but he took us as far as he could really, the team simply isn't good enough.

on the grid.

I'm really looking forward to the world cup, its such a good atmosphere in the pubs though I wish I could be there in South Africa. Great host country to hold it in.

Incidentally have you noiced the backdrop the BBC uses on the news when they talk about the world cup? Smashing job. Shame its not the official logo, it really evokes the spirit.

The thing is, every world cup we hear that we have a great team and that we will win it.

In Germany 2006 there was loads of, we have the best team since 1966 and its exactly 40 years so we must win it...same kinda thing in 2002 with Sven.

Saying this..I do think we have a good chance :D

I don't think that England will win the cup, but hopefully will beat their group before dropping out. When that happens I'll choose another team to support in the pub, so fickle!

same here, i would love us to win it but the players aren't good enough. so when we drop out i'll back spain like i did in euro 2008.

the guy is pure class. experience, pace (allthough not as much as munich in 2001), finishing, teamwork. he has to keep this up of course, but if he does and fabio dosen't take him. he's a tit.

i managed to cap this from the live feed of the game (they cut it out the highlights later). suicide followed after owen scored the 3rd.

    • OJ Borg is in for Trevor Nelson on the Rhythm Nation tonight (with Phill Williams on overnight). He's also in for Michael Ball for the next two Sundays (12th and 19th May). Ros Atkins (BBC's Analysis editior) is in for Jeremy Vine on Thursday. Another new name to Radio 2 is Oliver Hides from BBC Radio Wales. He sat in for Owain Wynn Evans yesterday and he's in again this Thursday (9th May) and Bank Holiday Monday (27th) Spoony in for Scott Mills from Tuesday 28th till Friday 31st May.  
    • Thought they would make it easier to get to this event. There's been no communication from the council or organisers about travel, even though there's talk of train strikes. Smaller councils have done a better job. 
    • They do sound good together, but I'm not sure Rylan will want the extra commitments. 
    • I have accepted Chris is unlikely to join Scott's show, and that Chappers has moved on, but I still think he could do with a co-host. The most logical solution, I think, is Rylan. He appears more often on his show than not, and they are great together. Radio 2 could lose Rylan's Saturday show and extend his reach by appearing during the week. I think they'd be great!
    • Tattoo took a while to grow on me. I couldn't see the fuss until weeks after. We have a split household here where the war on Gaza is overshadowing an enjoyment. I'm hoping for a protest of some sort. 
    • I've heard that the staging is very impressive.  That and him being "known" might prevent an embarrassing result.  I'm a terrible judge of Eurovision though as Tattoo is still so very meh to me.
    • Feels like after the success of Sam Ryder we are going back to our old ways. Olly Alexander's song is pretty weak. Anyone fancy our chances this year? 
    • The more time goes on the more you think if they'd actually put some thought into it it should've been Vick & Katie from the start. A proven pairing and Katie ended up on the show anyway - whereas Katie's even mentioned she was only asked to join after the Jamie announcement And even by Going Home standards on time off, it's quite funny that a few months in we still haven't had a full week of the supposed line-up - and that's with a 4-day week.  
    • I heard something about what is your favourite wood? Wtf 😂
    • Was the same vibe on the Easter Monday show they did too. Just random questions and the like…. Katie is definitely the glue around making the show listenable. 
    • Vick and Jamie together are quite… awkward. Random discussion seems to be at an all time high without Katie. Maybe it’s just that there’s a lack of features today.
    • Jamie not even knowing about the big weekend day and the fact he starts the show at 14:00 just says everything.
    • I still haven’t forgiven Radio 1 for signing Laing. Vick and Jordan was good, you could hear the chemistry on air 
    • I just want to add though that I am beginning to enjoy the show a bit more now that it’s settled in - I think Jamie (when he’s there) has calmed down a bit and then the new features that have been progressively added over the last couple of weeks have been good too.    I still don’t think it’s a patch on Vick and Jordan together, but it is now a show that seems like it could have legs into the future and once Matt and Mollie start in July, I could see myself sticking with R1 all afternoon.
    • I think it’s a slimmer line-up and seems to fall short in previous years where it seemed almost double that I know Raye is booked to perform and is a headline name. I think the issue with a station like capital they are dealing with a rather lacklustre year for pop and theres no real big pulls for pop festivals that are an easy sell out right now. I think Capital has had seen it’s Capital Ball’s as for any generic pop music listener I don’t know whether Bradley Simpson, Aitch and Paul Russel have the universality to play in a stadium even Sugababes think it would be better if they chosen a smaller outdoor location or Wembley arena.
