TBH the first 3 games are always hit and miss, remember 1990 when England only went through because they beat Egypt 1-0, they drew the other 2.


Anyway it wasn't as bad as 1950 :nervous

Yeah at least we didn't lose. I think that thats the toughest game out of the way and the cobwebs have been blown away.

I hate watching our games on TV, I'm a bag of nerves!

Can't see why we didn't spank the yanks 8 nil, perhaps Beckham has been telling them all our secrets. First night nerves ma a*se, its our national game FFS! :oops:

Ol' Fabio should threaten to cut their wages/win bonus if they don't perform - works for RM workers!!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Could be FT I'm the only "Englishman" who remembers Alan (the shoplifter) Rough.
Or maybe Postman's broadband width couldn't actually cope with a list of dodgy Scottish goalkeepers.

One thing is clear apart from us Jocks trying to wind our English cousins up, is that old Fabio didn't carry out a proper risk assessment into his goalkeeper's manual handling abilities.
