Official England 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread

Good draw for England. Hopefully no banana skins in this one.

I heard North Korea has withdrawn from '10 WC because of the presence of South Korea in it and Fifa has asked Bangladesh to replace them. Is that true?

no other way to describe it

[bangla-red]

Yeah, but there's no correlation between our previous luck and how well we will do next year

While England is the team I like to hate, somehow I feel that they may be the only European team able to win next year.

Terry Axed As England Captain After 'Affair'

John Terry has been dropped as England football captain following a meeting with the national manager Fabio Capello over his alleged affair, Sky News sources say.

It comes as the woman who the Chelsea skipper reportedly had a relationship with has decided not to sell her story.

Underwear model Vanessa Perroncel was believed to have been offered up to £250,000 by various media organisations to give her view.

She also said she was very sad that Terry has been dropped as England captain.


The father-of-two was axed as the national skipper following a meeting with Capello at Wembley lasting around 12 minutes. Terry has now left the world famous football venue.

Sky correspondent Ian Dovaston said: "I am sure that John Terry thought this was a great possibility, that Fabio Capello would take this view.

"Clearly the manager believes he has been so mired in controversy that he would become a distraction in the build-up to the World Cup.

"The last thing he wants is any distraction as they go into a very important competition."

Capello flew into the UK on Thursday amid continuing speculation that Terry could have to quit his role as the side's skipper just months ahead of this summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

umm England wont win...

But Go ENGLAND

n more importantly

GO ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONEY!

[Equinox]

Meh. I have decided I will support England as my first team. After all I have been living here for the last six years. But I'm not delusional like most English supporters I think England should be happy if they reach the quarter-finals especially with the way they are playing now. Anything extra should be counted as bonus. But one thing I'm certain of England will crush USA. No doubt about it.

Beckham's out. I'm gutted for him, 'cause he deserved to go to the World Cup. With Lennon a doubt, I think Shaun Wright-Phillips could play on the right hand side. Where's Theo Walcott? Hardly seen him this season.
