As I watch the opening ceremony for the World Cup...which I have to say has been really good & shows just how far the nation has come in recent years...I wonder what the competition will bring for England??

Does anyone think we can win it?

Does anyone think we can win it?

This time Helen I hope the gut feeling is wrong.

There will be many guts sick to the bluddy limit of those trumpet things before this World Cup is done.

i thought there was something wrong with my telly, being in that stadiam must be like being locked in a beehive, as long as our lads beat my neighbors to my south,that will do me, of course i want england to win, but would i bet them to win the whole thing, the answer is no, i hope they prove me wrong.

I thought there was going to be mayhem in the first game, all those big strapping Africans and the pretty little Mexicans wearing Alice bands.

We won't win it.

It's only been two days.. and I'm sick to the back teeth of those bloody vuzzyvuzzy thingymebobs. How can you concentrate on the football?

I'm with you all on the horn thingys...they are driving me mad too!!!

Who was watching in HD last night? Bloody ITV! How many times have they missed a goal by pressing the wrong button in the studio?

That kind of c--k up is guaranteed to happen Sean.
As for the vuzzywuzzies turn the sound down because the biggest part of the commentary is meaningless drivel.

i never thought i would say this, when you go into what they call a sports bars in canada there is maybe 30 televisions all showing differant games, so of course there isnt any sound on any of them, in fact they could be playing pop tunes, so for once i say good idea. england better pull thier socks up before the knockout round starts.

Bri - Try the Legion Bar in Banff - it will have England on.

thanks for the help jeff, i had to find if i could be there for the next match, its 1698 niles from where i am, with a good tail wind i could be in barrajacks sooner, the boss says stay at yam, so thats it, case closed

that should be miles.
