    Italy and Holland will be a big void.

    Last time England failed to qualify was in 1990 when Diana Ross/Baggio missed the penalty.
    Actuallly that was ‘94.

    I assumed you'd said 94 deliberately to jest and highlight your lack of football knowledge....

    Alas no your football knowledge is at the same level as your boxing

    On another note can you believe two weeks to go in this country and the world cup not getting rammed down our throats from every angle ??

    Sign of the times.

    Talking to parents at work it seems a lot of their kids - ages 8 to about 14 - are not even excited about it or fully aware of whats going on. Sad really. Back in my day you had the shirt the sticker album. Sigh....
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    So..will you watch if England play? and if so would you consider yourself neutral or just support whoever is playing against us?

    If nothing else is on and I’m watching the telly, i’ll Watch it, but I won’t go out of my way for it. Whether I’m neutral or supporting the opposition depends on how much the media and pundits start to whip up a frenzy of false hope and expectations.
    It has been later starting than usual, but i’ve Noticed it has started, and when the hype machine gets in full flow, I usually find it pretty arrogant and disrespectful.

    Arrogant and disrespectful towards who ? Do you mean English commentators not being neutral and getting behind their own team?

    1978 Kempe’s – someone who I played football in the street with idolised him and we called him “ten pence”.
    1982 Brian Robson 28 second goal and England not losing any matches but knocked out. Brian Clough would have done a better job.
    1986 Maradona hand of god, he will always be better than Messi
    1990 Gazza crying, we should have won the cup, best team outside 1966 team
    1994 worst final ever
    1998 ZZ upset Ronaldo’s Brazil
    2002 Seaman is a plonker
    2006 Italy v Germany played the best match in semi-final but Rooney sent off planned by his winking team mate.
    2010 Rooney moaning at being booed but had been caught with prostitutes and Roy in charge after Capello walked away
    2014 Did not get out of group stages went out with a wimper.

    Brazil will win it and I hope the semi finalist is Nigeria, Senegal and Peru. I've changed my mind from France.

    Nigeria




    Senegal



    Brazil



    Peru

    England have always had the unenviable task of being like the international Millwall that everyone really hates and yet are expected to perform like Barca, with any win or goal against England being celebrated by the opposition as though we had won every major competition since '66. With that kind of pressure and the ridiculous percentage of foreign players dominating not just the premiership but even the Championship now, getting to so may international competitions is an achievement in itself. It's weird but you watch all the Taffs and Jocks cheer on whoever is playing us as though that somehow makes up for them fucking it up again.

    England ARE expected to compete, the fans SHOULD feel let down....England does have the talent, the players just don't make each other better. And let's get real here, Gareth Southgate....bruh.


    The United States are expected to compete now'a'days, this next group of youngsters will eventually be special, but they're going to have to keep learning and growing together and keep getting regular playing time at their clubs.


    England SHOULD be a lot better than they are.

    Careful you do not want to be supporting a team with too many Caucasian players in it.

    We are aware England should have achieved more over last twenty years. But the belief has all been used up by a bunch of multi millionaires whose effort came into question.

    Ferdinand Lampard and Gerrard even said they didn't like to speak at training camps as didn't want to hear about club successes from the others. I mean give me a fucking break. But that ad probably the managers fault for not getting a team spirit.

    Folding against the mighty Iceland was the biggest low. We can only get better but now many fans don't really care. And that's the saddest thing for me

    Agreed but Hart has been dropped and he was at fault for Iceland and Wales goals.

    Ashley Young said Southgate has got rid of the club cliques that was present 10 years ago.

    Youngsters like Ali, Lingard, Sterling and Rashford supporting Kane will be exciting and we have Tunisia and Panama before Belgium so should have the group sorted by then.
