At which point did I suggest it was all my own work?
The Beeb came up with it and I just thought it was worth sharing.

Very happy with the draw. Will be great to celebrate a World Cup won after a city promotion. Very good 2018.

We can draw with Belgium then it's just a matter of beating the others by more than Belgium do.
Unfortunately, we're not exactly blessed with prolific strikers.
Please don't mention Vardy or Rashford.
Our only hope is if Kane turns into Romario.
And as for our defence, well I'd just as soon not discuss it. Let's just pretend they are good.

That'd be great mate, cheers. Looking forward to going there. One of our twin cities.

Ah, the good old days when agents were more Del Boy types than global dictators.

It's easy to forget the point that Rashford is at in his career. Southgate mentioned a few months ago that he was not only the youngest member of the senior set up, if he was in the U21 squad he would've been the youngest there too. He's already got 15 caps and will have 20-25 by the time the world cup has finished. 20-25 caps aged just 20 years and 10 months. To put that into perspective Harry Kane was a full year older than that when he made his debut!

Win the first two and it’s a straight shoot out to the top of the group... if you want it!
Ah easy in theory

All of which means absolutely nothing as far as his quality goes. Michael Owen was a star at 17 as was Rooney. Rashford will never be a star.

What do you base that on?
It's a progress-able group but it's certainly not a walk in the park. Belgium clear favourites, and Tunisia will be no pushover.
Radio 5 last night you would think we're already in the quarter-finals. Do the media never learn. If we were to get Colombia in the 2nd round we'd get trounced, and Poland would be a tough game.

What do you think I base it on? It's my opinion based on watching him play.

How many times have you seen the three of them play at Rashford’s age?

Just doing the Belgium game.
Flying to Berlin then overnight train to Kaliningrad.
I’ll possibly pop back for the knock outs should we progress. I swore last summer on that 2 mile walk back to them buses in Nice I was never going again, done Scotland and Malta since...

I couldn’t find them and ended up getting a train. Horrible journey.
The first hotel cancelation came this morning. Didn’t think it’d happen that quick. Normally takes a week or two. 34 hours this time. Bastards!

Saw your tweet, why do they allow them to be booked in the first place and then cancel, knowing an event will be on? Is it cause they now know England will be there and can charge more?
How much has the price changed?
CJ_covblaze
Well-Known Member
Because they can. The same price at present but I’m expecting it to be several times the price soon.

Always the case isn’t it. They’ll drop down once they know the FIFA and the corporates don’t want them.

Yep. And they realise people ain’t going.

I can see it being like 2012. Not many for the first two then a slight increase from then on.

On par with the San Mames as the best new ground I’ve been to. Great place too.

There will be if Russia start winning matches and have players sprinting around like Lindford Christie in the 90th minute!

Maddison will play through Wilson to make it 2-1 and win it. 92nd minute against Argentina. Sven goes to shake hands with Maradona who is losing his shit on the touch line and resigns again soon after.

CJ I plan on going to second and third games. I'm going on my own so would be more than happy to meet up for the week. Don't know who you are traveling with but having gone to Brazil on my own it gets really expensive having to get taxis from airports etc if your on your own.
