I've watched a couple of interviews with Prandelli. His mannerisms when he talks are alarmingly similar to those of Roy Hodgson :lol:

Their art will be appreciated in 100 years! :lol: :lol:
At least we do not run the risk of giving up a genius cause he resigned. You still have Roy Hodgson for an other 2-4 years .. good luck!

The French will knock out Brazil! Vive La France! All stand for this rousing version of the French national anthem, taking the spirit of Zidane all the way to the finals and a big Betfair collect for me when they take the cup :D

England are a national embarrassment.
I wonder if England had never won the world cup, whether we would have had such high expectations all these years? Granted that this time are expectations were at their lowest that I can remember, but maybe we are just a small island in the grand scheme of things and ever since 1966 have been almost cursed with this belief that we should win 'because we're England', when we've never really had enough in the ranks, regardless of our league or history of influence on the world in other 'disciplines'

If you go on wages payed, where would England rank??
I'd say in the top 3, they should be looking to reach the semi finals.

I think the biggest problem regarding the expectation from the England team is the fact that the game was invented here and we believe it is our game.
Even so I dont think its unfair to expect given the love of the game here/ population size/ amount of professional teams etc that England should have, over the years put on a much better show.

I think its such a shame really because having witnessed the effect a good run in a tournament can have (Italia 90, Euro 96) It would be amazing here if they actualy went on to win something.

Same for every country though and probably the reason we all love it so much

Statistical analysis shows France greatly under-rated and a clear value bet:

Mario Balotelli has refused to be a scapegoat for Italy's World Cup exit after being deemed "not really Italian" by some fans.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28026695
"Perhaps, as some of you say, I'm not really Italian. The Africans wouldn't have blamed one of their brothers. Never. In this, we black, as you call us, we are light years ahead of you".
Assou-Ekotto head-butted one of his own players in one of Cameroon's group games. Light years ahead :lol:
