DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 England in a lose-lose situation - Group of Pish but possibilities of them falling on their arises (again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanky_ffc Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can't see them finishing ahead of Belgium, so that would probably leave them Poland/Colombia in the last 16 and Germany in the 1/4s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 England are hitting the quarters at least here.And to add insult to injury I'm on holiday there for the Panama and Belgium games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably Bruno Metsu would've shuffled the pack a bit more if he'd realised how far they could get. I'd no idea Metsu had carked it a few years back ye he was about 57 i think 3 years ago ?

Bully Wee Villa Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Can't see them finishing ahead of Belgium, so that would probably leave them Poland/Colombia in the last 16 and Germany in the 1/4s. If they get through, I don't think it really matters too much if they go through first or second. Likely Poland or Colombia as a winnable Second Round, and Brazil or Germany as a Quarter-Final beasting regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst they're a better team on paper than those two, they haven't won a knockout match since Ecuador in 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Oh yeah, "winnable" doesn't necessarily mean I think they would win. I'd fancy either to beat England but it would be close. Close enough to give the media some imagined injustice to moan about afterwards. A five or six nil loss to Brazil or Germany might be more fun, I can't decide.

gruppenfuhrer Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 a lot of the groups have countries that are very much the same quality , A ,C D,H, F - Germany will be happy the rest more or less the same in that group, Brazil will be happy,Serbia nothing special, Mexico always an oddity can be great then average , always seem to get a good european country and a good asian / african in their group, England well i knew they would get an easy group, on paper at least, Uruguay/ Colombia a good dark horse, Iceland / Denmark/ Sweden like to see them in the next round but so so with them as with Peru, although i think they will be rubbish next year but would like to see them in round 2, like to see Morocco/Egypt in round 2 but cant see it, not keen on Senegal/Tunisia.Iran/Saudi can f==k off my last 16 that i would like to see Colombia,Japan, Belgium,Panama Germany Mexico Denmark ,Peru Croatia . Iceland Morocco........... not keen on the others ,so will go with Portugal just to see Ronaldo cry in round 2 Brazil, Serbia Uruguay, Egypt and all that will never happen.

Poet of the Macabre Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 If England can't reach the quarters then that's a massive failure. No way they should fail to get out of the group, although Poland/Colombia is a tricky last 16 game. On paper, Morocco vs Iran is the shittiest World Cup game I can remember. Four games on the opening Saturday though, starting at 10am. Some day of boozing that'll be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
