Also, the more I think about it, the more I think France won't make it out of their group.

Pretty bold shout that, Gash. Germany won't go out early but can't see them getting to the final.

I nar. Just saying how it came across. Right, might put a couple of zany WC bets on.

Does that mean... you're only posting winning bets!? You'll be shot at dawn on here.

Don't think they're excellent at all tbh. Holland are 10/1 and RVP is 14/1. I know they're linked but 66/1 doesn't strike me as good value. Not that I don't think they have a good chance. RVP as top scorer is generally a good shout - he shouldn't be short of service, either.

You must have made at least a grand in the past month, Jonny. Keep it going. Not bitterly jealous at all or anything.

Against China! :lol:

Who else you got? I'll be sure to warn them, and keep the fuck away from them for my fantasy team.

I hated last season's away kit but ended up loving it. I don't mind it, we had a pink away shirt not so long ago.

Yes, to an extent. It'd be stupid to ignore them as though they didn't exist. It doesn't mean I suddenly think we'll do crap. By asking VI whether he'd be concerned, it doesn't mean I expect Spain to crash out early - it comes down to the small details with the top quality sides.

VI, are you at all concerned by your build-up? Yes, you have a collection of excellent players but a thoroughly unconvincing win against the Saudis with a last-minute win, and a very late win against South Korea is a bit worrying for a team with the quality you have. Let's use "you" to avoid a Catalan v Spanish argument.

My main qualm with Benitez isn't footballing, it's the fact he's an arrogant, patronising whining child. I guess I'm bound to say that though.

Mega lulz.

Rarely seen him as a pundit if at all. I'm open.

Don't know if it's been said but the BBC have added Roy Hodgson to their World Cup line-up. Unfortunately, they've also got everyone's favourite saggy-faced twat.

Possible: NOTW will do their best to uncover some more stuff about Gerrard, I reckon. Probably not: Bridge is banging Terry's lass whilst buying some cocaine off his dad.

Algeria are an excellent team apparently.

Don't go yet Rafa. You haven't overseen the sale of the only 2 players who can get your lot anywhere!

Bartering!

Wouldn't say he's a great player at all; a good one yes.

If it's possible to get a points tally below 0 in the World Cup then Honduras will give it a mighty good go at this rate.

Who on earth is this Alvarez character on the right for Honduras? He is a truly shocking excuse of a player.

Well this isn't going well. Gamst Pedersen has spurned 2 easy chances, and Honduras look like a pub team.

Honduras as much at fault with some of the diabolical passing. Rain hasn't helped, like.

£9 on this.
