I think our only hope is if he has very, very minor nose reconstruction surgery.I think quarter finals only if the draw is kind to us. I actually think our squad is much better than most people believe but unfortunately we have a coach who is out of his depth.
For a start ground useless Joe Hart.World Cup draw takes place today at 15:00. Who do you want? How far do you think we can go? Who should and shouldn't be on the plane?
Sadly since the Kishorn yard dry dock in Wester Ross was decommissioned there are no facilities suitable in the UK.I think our only hope is if he has very, very minor nose reconstruction surgery.
That would keep him out of action for about three and a half years.

Not bad Belgium, Tunisia, Panama and England. Couldn’t really ask for better. If we mess up (again) we will only have ourselves to blame.

Good thing is that Belgium is last and England might already be through by the time they play that game.We are going to win it!!!!! (The PAnama game maybe)
Not going to beat Belgium. So not winning groupGulp!!! Anyone seen the potential routes for England?
IF we were to win our group it could pan out as:
COLOMBIA knock out
Then
BRAZIL in the quarter final
FRANCE in the semi final
GERMANY in the final
Runner up could pan out as:
POLAND knock out
Then
GERMANY in the quarter final
SPAIN in the semi final
BRAZIL in the final
deffo 2nd to Belgium. Then a humiliation thrashing in knockout. Forget this tournament. Euro's should see new talent coming in Hopefully some decent defenders. In this country we seemed to have forgotten the art of defending. All about the fast running wingbacks, getting forward. None of present squad would get into the English defence from the latter part of last century. So until we find some defenders forget tournaments and enjoy the qualifying games against piss poor teams. Rant over
Background: Loosely based on the design of Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, the newly-built Kaliningrad Stadium has been plagued by delays and difficulties, including the the bankruptcy of the company responsible for its initial design. It was initially conceived as a 45,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof. However, this had to be scaled back to the more modest, roofless 35,000 venue that will host four first-round group matches in the 2018 World Cup.
After this summer's tournament, the stadium will have 10,000 seats removed and become the home of Russian second-tier side Baltika Kaliningrad, whose average attendance last season was just short of 3,500.
England's record against their group opponents
England have not lost to Belgium in their past 11 meetings – their only defeat against them came in 1936. That was their only loss in 23 games overall.
The Three Lions have met Tunisia twice before, drawing a friendly in 1990 and beating them at the 1998 World Cup in France, while England have never met Panama.
So that's P23, L1 against their group-stage opponents.

Yet Wales beat Belgium.Not going to beat Belgium. So not winning group
Err, took me about 30 seconds typing it down off my TV screen. Beeb put it up. Didn't take me 15 mins at all.You have just wasted 15 minutes figuring that out, we'll never get THAT far!
Let us know if you want any advice, CJ. As I mentioned on another thread, my missus is from Volgograd and all her family live there. Her sister speaks excellent English.Flying out on Saturday 16th. Anyone else going? Very happy with the opponents and location of games in the group, along with the possible 2nd round opponents. It could be very interesting in the final group game if both sides have 6 points. With both teams through both should be going for it. We've actually looked quite good when that has been the case. They're the second best side in it and would obviously be favourites to win that game but you never know given that situation.
