We're not the biggest underachievers in world football, we've gotten pretty much what we have deserved. The helpful refereeing reference is bollocks too.
The irony is that had the FA not been such a bunch of tossers in the early years England would likely have more than one World Cup, as they were actually one of the best teams in the World before they could be bothered to enter the tournament. England were almost unbeatable at home until they got a footballing lesson by Hungary in 1953.

Only compared to England's massive superiority complex batch. I support both but the amusing way England fanatics don't recognise that they're the biggest underachievers in world football since Spain had some success tickles me. We're a classic case of all the gear, no idea: world's richest clubs, huge support, massive grounds, first pro league in the world etc. Can't buy a win against a higher ranked team & still banging on about 66 which took both home advantage & helpful refereeing
helpful refereeing? been screwed over many more times than benefitted! still angry at Sol Campbells header ruled out for nothing.

All I ever hear from Welsh/Scottish/Irish is that England are hated because of arrogance, when its just a bullshit excuse to justify xenophobia. At least just say its a local rivalry thing and you don't want to see us do well. If you ask most England fans if you think we'll win it, they'll say its more hope than expectation.
Robbie Savage: "Iran are probably one of the worst teams, they are dreadful" Mark Hughes: "hopefully we'll already be qualified by the England game anyway" Sorba Thomas: "We don't fear England. Why can't we be the ones to knock them out." Kieffer Moore: "Can't wait to knock out England."
Talk about making a dick of yourselves Wales.
They'll be up for the game with us, so we'll need to be as well no matter what the result tonight, but I hope we fucking pump the cunts. They remind me of Bristol City with their misplaced arrogance. I suppose they're almost Welsh.

I was watching MOTD top 10 World Cup goals with Lineker, Shearer & Richards and Michael Owens goal from that game got a mentioned and Shearer (who ‘fouled’ the keeper) talked about this (and they showed it) I forgot just how fucking soft it was. Was a ‘Golden Goal’ as well

Has Nigel de Jong deliberately come dressed as the twins from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul?

Holland started well but have been a bit disappointing.
still, getting out the group is all that matters at this stage.
We've never been the USA in a world cup. Expecting a very close game. We caught Iran cold, but that's a one off

Form aside, not sure about Maguire starting five days after a head knock.
