cidercity1987 Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Time to start planning the trip, shame we arent playing in Moscow or St Petersburg but never mind. Belgium seems a bit of a dead rubber, win or lose we will have a winnable 2nd round and an impossible QF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazred Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 I think QTR Finals should be a realistic target. We're not great but certainly capable of getting out of that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately not mate, just my observations from my nearly sixty years. It is so sad that we have changed so much in that time from people being generally honest and trying to do their best by others to not being able to trust most as far as you can throw them.

PHILINFRANCE Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 So, we should get out of the group and then, in the last 16, beat Senegal (should we win the group) or Poland (if we are runners-up). Then, in the last 8, we have the invidious choice of Brazil or Germany! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Reid Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Belgium's golden generation royally fluffed their lines under Wilmots when the crunch came. With Martinez in charge it should be different. They have the potential to reach the semi's and perhaps even further with that squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Reid Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 6 hours ago, ProjectMayhem said: Why is everyone so happy with Belgium? Their team is on another level to ours On paper, definitely. Whether they'll translate it to grass in a major tournament remains to be seen - but I think they will. People forget that Wilmots has been sacked and a new manager is at the helm which can make a huge difference to a team. For verification of this just send a stamped addressed envelope to Sean O'Dismal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great moment when Platty scored. Think we stayed at some dodgy campsite out of town if I remember. You had Big Wilf & “Chelsea Rob” with you I think?. The spics were going round stabbing England fans In the backside on mopeds and then driving off (cowards), if I remember right, so thought best to head out of town to camp (good days them).

Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Great to see Saint Gary, picking up a tasty wedge hosting the draw, of course having first deleted his tweet calling the award of the world cup to Russia 'ludicrous' and coming up with the excuse that he wouldn't have done it had Blatter still been in charge.
