There seems to be fair few footy fans on here so i thought we could have a thread dedicated to the world cup.

Why is it when Scotland or Wales play in the world cup all the English want them to do well. But when its the other way round the scots and welsh dont give a stuff?

Who do we reckon will taste glory this summer?

I hear Rooney could be fit for the start of the campaign against Paraguay which will be a miracle. I still reckon that Brazil will take the Jules Rimet because they have the most gifted footballers in world football. Strong favourites alongside the Italians and the Argentinians but Brazil will prevail!!

JT - You never know with the world cup mate, has seen some upsets before.... My top competitors are;

Brazil
Italy
Argentina
Spain

Cameroon have upset a few teams in the past as have Germany, lets see how the sides play when it all get underway!!

P.S. I wonder which brand/s of beer will be cheap on the case also... Worth stocking up I think......
