I genuinely didn't know.

What's your problem?

Excellent

On another note from the same article I see it was a fan from Palace who went into the dressing room after the Algeria game

Pavlos Joseph, 32, from Crystal Palace, south-east London, will appear at a special World Cup court in Cape Town where he is due to go on trial charged with trespassing.

At a previous hearing, he was banned from attending future World Cup matches, his passport was withheld, and he was released on 500 rand bail.

Joseph said he was looking for a toilet after the Algeria match when a security guard sent him in the direction of the players' tunnel.

It was mentioned about red for Germany (as we are the away team for coming second in our group) on a different thread (tho not actually a thread title) and I know how much you love the "F" word!

Let me know if you're going to Plymouth (if it's not cancelled)

Probably going with my girlfriend as she's from Devon... Why would it be cancelled?

 

[Marshy]

I initially said a 3-1 win. But now i have to say 4-2 after extra time !

Bitch. Well, the other games too then...James can drive in a few months though so that's cool.

Something about an International break on that weekend..and Pymouth have potentially 5 Internationals..there was a thread somewhere.

Why ALL-red? Is Cappello paid so much we can't afford a washer woman? My theory is someone's put the red socks in with the white shorts on a hot wash and the colours have run.

<Reminder - we wore white in Germany when we did them 5-1. The red thing is bollocks. We might as well get Russell Grant and Derek Acorah into the dressing room beforehand.>

The German's as home team have first choice over their kits. They chose their home kit (white shorts, black shorts, white socks). Therefore England should be wearing their usual away kit. However, the players allegadly have stated their preference for the red shorts as a good luck omen.

If they think it helps them, it is good by me.

I'll be cheering for the ALL REDS on Sunday.

Does this mean we get to play in all-blue if Terry gets the armband back?

 

[Easy 10]

We have not been knocked out of a tournament wearing red since 1970.

FACT.

They'll be wearing TWO pairs of shorts and NO top?

We beat them in Euro 2000 wearing RED.

Funnily enough the most successful club teams in Britain wear RED.


And yes Im resisting mentioning the 66 WC win.

The Germans are hard like that, innit.*






*every post I have made today has been either factually incorrect or generally shithouse... maybe I should stop!

That sir, is exactly what I want to hear. Along with the fact that the match is on the beeb, the omens are good.

I also happen to like the all red strip we wore against Slovenia.

I thought we wore red in Berlin, although it was a generally hazzy trip.

The 2007 friendly they were in red and we wore white.
