World Cup Group B (England, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Sweden) **SPOILERS**
- Thread starter Big Kev
- Start date
That's never held them back in the past, they're regular quarter finalists.

top of the group yes, but they were equal on points with england on 5 points - it's not like they stormed the group. They were second best to Croatia in qualifying and lost twice to them. Ljunberg, Mellberg and Larsson are 4 years older and not as good as they used to be, Ibrahimovic is better but he's too inconsistent and has got a big temper.
Tru said:
I wouldn't say regular, especially looking from the 1960's - only once since then.
1930 - Did not enter
1934 - Quarterfinals
1938 - Fourth place
1950 - Third place
1954 - Did not qualify
1958 - Runners-up
1962 - Did not qualify
1966 - Did not qualify
1970 - Round 1
1974 - Round 2
1978 - Round 1
1982 - Did not qualify
1986 - Did not qualify
1990 - Round 1
1994 - Third place
1998 - Did not qualify
2002 - Round 2

Mr Singh said:that is true- i just feel they won't do it this time. lets wait and see
Yeah I think they've got a very good team this year, it will be the last chance for some of their big players and Ibrahimovic with Larsson will always get you goals.

It's from ukfpl. You predict the results and it gives you a table of your results. It's a good game, 5500 people playing. Similar to Nim's game, 300 points for a perfect score and 100 for correct scoreline.

We saw Ecuador be quite good last night, not sure how Paraguay rate as regards them but hey they have qualified for the World Cup and they are South American....they will def be able to play a bit, it worries me that if England's midfield dont 'play' it could get tough though Englands power game and determination should see them through.

Good luck England.
Did you all see Crouch's new Puma invisible boots?? They are well class, designed to confuse the defenders when it comes to watching his feet.

tbh I cant see them losing today but England are notoriously slow starters in the big tournaments (I think France 98 is the only time they've won in the first game in the last 20 years!) so maybe a draw wouldnt be a bad bet.
If we're gonna have any chance of going all the way here we shouldnt get less than 7 points out of this group.
I'll predict 2-1 England Lampard & RoboCrouch

I'm confident today. We've played Paraguay twice before and beat them 3-0 and 4-0.
3-0 today with Beckham scoring our first from 25 yards after a foul on Crouch!
