    LOL, typical English arrogance, win one game and they are already planning for the quarter finals.

    Chances are Germany are going to top their group tonight, and therefore will play England in the last 16. With all due respect to England's spectacular performances against the footballing titans of Slovenia and Algeria, when they actually come across a decent footballing side they are going to get humped. :grouphug:

    Have you ever seen England play?

    Play Mozambique - we are as bad as them. Play Brazil - we are as good as them. We never get hammered, if Rooney decides to get interested, we could do very well.

    Did Germany not lose to slovakia in their Group?

    No one has had it easy AFIK but Argies are the only team that have been consistently good.
    Anything can happen in knock out football, as a liverpool suporter I should know.:D

    One thing we can say at the moment we have not lost a game, do that for the next few and I will be happy. :)

    I was close, :) (but they are still ranked below the USA)

    IMHO the germans look good in attack but suspect at the back and look like they will leak goals.

    They should have been down to 10 men again yesterday.

    I am not saying we will win, but I think we will be well up for it and will do a lot better than most make out.

    ON fantasy football, I am a sitting duck today, no one in my team is playing. :(

    There are only 11 teams that have not lost a game so far (and it will get lower over the next 2 days) We are one of them.
