Yea against Portugal we might be able to play average and get through like against ecuador and the others BUT against better teams we will have to perform to 100% to get through so I think maybe we should start practicing that now! It's just too damn stressful watching england when they're playing badly!

Forecast. I think it will be 1-1 after 90 mins. Not worth a bet though. Then anything could happen.

 

[Kenhead]

First time since '66 that portugal have got to the knock-out stages of the world cup!

There's so many simalarities from '66 that i think we are gonna win the cup this year!

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I'm leaving in a minutes so gonna sign it now. WE WILL WIN EMPHATICALLY this afternoon

 

[dougdeep]

May the best team win.

 

[Frutos]

3-1 win for us today, then we'll edge past France in the semis (I just have a hunch that they'll win tonight) and beat the Germans 4-2 AET (come on, it has to be) in the Final.
