3. It might be England's turn this time...
...I'd like to see Ireland do well too but they're unlikely to win.

Just a heads-up: the World Cup has had revolving winners between South America-Europe since 1962

1962 Brazil
1966 England
1970 Brazil
1974 W Germany
1978 Argentina
1982 Italy
1986 Argentina
1990 W Germany
1994 Brazil
1998 France
2002 Brazil

If the pattern continues, it means a European team might win this time.

5. NNNNooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
I really really could not cope with the profusion of St. George flags which that would entail. I'm as patriotic as anybody, and indeed frequently have the George Cross on my cuff-links - but when the streets are crowded with cars each of which has 4 or 5 wretched nasty little flags (all made in China) it makes me want to run away into hiding.

That I also have a strong distaste for football does also factor in here - people will talk about it incessantly, especially people who know nothing about football, and I really get sick of finding some polite way to tell them to shove off and bother somebody else.

13. I think its good
that Ingerland bedecks itself in her flag at these times, because it reclaims the Geroge Cross from the BNP.

15. USA vs Germany in final
Large German stadium screen shows photo of Bush and a riot breaks out causing cancellation of game. The game is moved to a cornfield in Kansas.

21. I'm just waiting for the soccer babe threads in the Lounge
I remember some nice ones from Korea last time around, too.

I don't discriminate. If they look good, I don't care where they are from... it's just that Brazil is famous for their scantily clad women at the World Cup.
