World Cup 2010

With 273 days to go to the World Cup 2010, it's time for a topic about it.

Anybody going, or going to try to go?

How do you think we'll do?

We've shown we can get the result against the lesser teams (Belarus, Ukraine), and have comfortably beaten the team ranked 9th in the world Croatia twice.
We've even done well against the better teams, Holland and Germany.

It's looking very good at the moment. Let's get carried away, we're going to win the World Cup!!!

And the speed the year is passing us by it will be upon us before we know it, would love to go but theres as much chance of that happening as winning the lottery,as to how we will do well actually i think we will do pretty well, we probably have as good a chance as anybody, could 2010 really be Englands year lets hope so...

I'll be there although not sure of dates and other stuff yet, a month is a long time!

There was a couple of pensioners on the news the other day who had cashed in their pension plans to pay to go over to South Africa, they said they were expecting the whole trip to cost them 20K. hope they get a safari chucked in for that....

Never ever ever will we win the world cup.

Rovers will win the Premiership before England win the World Cup again I think.

So to sum up.... you think England will never win the world cup?

I think we have done well but to be honest i can see us getting cheated out of the cup in then semi-finals.
I would love to win it but what are the odds. lol
I suppose it depends who we draw.

The odds on Boylesports on England winning the World Cup are 13/2 at the moment

Never going to happen IMO.

Word cup draw this Friday.

England hve been seeded.

let's just hope for a decent group.

Pot 1: England, South Africa, Italym Brazil, Spain, Holland, Germany and Argentina

Pot 2: Australia, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Honduras, Mexico, USA and New Zealand

Pot 3: Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay.

Pot 4: France, Portugal, Denmark, Greece, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Switzerland.

Worst case scenario:

England
USA
Cameroon
Portugal

Pretty good worst case scenario IMO.

Was quite worried this morning. I saw the misread the breaking news on SSN and thought we'd been drawn in the same group as Spain, Brazil etc.

Hi to all of you who are thinking of going out to South Africa for the World Cup next year. Yorkshire England Supporters (YES) have put together a forum next week at Hillsborough Stadium, 10th December with a 7pm start. The invited guests will be able to answer questions and sort out any travel bookings you may need. The invited guests are;

Kevin Miles - International co-ordinator for the FSF

Kevin will be out in South Africa for the draw and immediately afterwards he will be meeting the local coordinators and representatives of each venue where England will be playing their group games. Crucially we can get the latest information from Kevin about the preparations that are being made, what each city can offer and how does accommodation, transport and safety figure in the fans experience. If you want an unbiased and honest view from a fans perspective then Kevin will deliver that in spades!

Miles - Sportops - Who sent this earlier this week;

I'm currently in South Africa, its my fifth visit this year. I'm staying until after the draw.
I will be back in time to come to the meeting in Sheffield on Dec 10th.
We have done very extensive research here , in fact I'm virtually living here until next June.
I believe we have some great accommodation solutions at all levels and a lot of good advice and experience to offer.
We booked a group of Millwall fans recently, three weeks , flights and accom for well under £2,000 per person .

Paul Campbell - Travel Butlers

Paul heads up a company who specialise in trips to South Africa and crucially he knows the availability of cars, coaches, hotels etc etc etc. He is willing to help you in making your booking, advise were he can and suggest the things to do in South Africa whilst not watching a game of footy! I spent quite a long time with him on the phone recently and he gave me some very valuable advice which was taken on board. You will find that he has a wealth of knowledge about this country and bags of experience when it comes to organising trips for people from this country. Crucially he has helped cricket and rugby fans on their many trips to SA so he may well have the right advice for you too.

The venue is restricted to 150 people so please make sure you are there.

Hope fully it will be a pretty easy England group, preferably having Honduras, Algeria, Slovenia or New Zeland in our group.

Missed the draw, who did we get???

I cant find it anywhere on internet.

Its bugging me now!!!

England
USA
Slovenia
Algeria

I can handle that.

Also our opening game against USA is on my birthday

On another note, how annoying was that American woman? So bloody patronising and self-centred.

Come on England!!!

Bloke on the radio phone in reckons Algeria will beat England because Zidane was born there....

dint bother watching it, its all a load of bollox these draws

Rather watch a good game of darts tbh but oh well...

Aye its all to do with warm balls and cold balls

so who's got what?

Did anyone hear the Dingle on radio Dee Daa , he wanted to know where England were playing the home games in the World Cup as they were not down to play them at Wembley, what a plank made a proper fool of himself..

Yeah I heard him Yorkie. What an eejit, surely he's watched a world cup before

Well that was not the only stupid comment he made, he thought they would sign Billy Sharp in January, obviously the man is deranged..
