England could win World Cup.

[Aadil]

England boss Roy Hodgson claims it is not "impossible" for the country to win the World Cup in Brazil in 2014.
Hodgson pointed to Chelsea's against-the-odds Champions League triumph last season, when they knocked out Barcelona and then beat Bayern Munich on penalties, as evidence that the fancied sides can be beaten.

They could. Looking forward to Hawkesy v Bob Saget round two.

[bob saget]

Yeah but nah! Pretty sure this thread was only started for the link's Google rankings

[Bomber]

Of course they could win it. All they neeed to do is emulate the cricket team and get as many foreigners eligible as possible!

[fantomas]

Syria could also win the world cup....

[Ga Pala]

[ozzie owl]

Yes they could but they won't.

Syria disqualified from 2014 FIFA World Cup

Unlucky.

2018

Still too soon.

[Old Master]

They'll need to wait until some of the children of the world class foreign footballers born in England develop into 'chips off the old block".

[Scholes]

If you took out all the foreigners and people whose parents were born overseas from Aussie sporting teams there wouldn't be hardly any national teams left. Not to mention your so called music and film industries.

[Scholes]

P.S. We've already won the World Cup, have you??

[Adolf Hītler]

P.S. We've already won the World Cup, have you??

I doubt you did more than just watch it.

[whateva]

maybe on fifa 13

Just because you're not patriotic, doesn't mean others can't be. The 1966 World Cup was won by England, we are English therefore WE won the world cup.

As for the article, what a load of rubbish. Anyone COULD win the world cup.

[Loretta Jones]

WE won the world cup.

As you weren't even born at the time you can't take credit for it.

[God is an Englishman]

WE won the world cup.

As you weren't even born at the time you can't take credit for it.

As I said, don't blame others because you're not patriotic. WE won the world cup and WE had the largest empire in the world ever.

[Le King]

England players prefer to play for the club more then country

[Con M]

In 2066. Has a certain occasion about it - 100 years after the 1966 win and all that. (I think I counted right - 2014 in Brazil, 2018 in racist Russia, 2022 in bloody 48-degrees Qatar, 2026, 2030......2066).

But seriously, England has the passion and tradition to win it again.

They've just got to cut their EPL down to 18 teams (down from 20), & get rid of that minor league cup thingy so their players are not exhausted by the time a month-long World Cup tournament starts.

Their juniors will get better & better as more & more advances are made to all-weather pitches. As Simon Hill said, it's hard to develop a Spain or Barcelona-style game on the mud-heaps that are the school & lower-level pitches in rainy ol' England.

NO WAY AND NO WAY!!


Sick of foreigners trying to change our game. If they don't like it they can fuck off and not play in our league. They'll be asking for a winter break nexts. CUNTS THE LOT OF THEM!

Makes me laugh when professional sportsmen clam they're tired. Try working 50 hour weeks to earn a living like those in the real world.

[Con M]

GWAE, were the England boys tired in South Africa or weren't they? What about that lack-lustre game against Algeria?

Something has to be done so they don't arrive at a World Cup tournament stuffed after an over-long gruelling domestic season. Reduce the league by just two clubs.

And what is the use of the league cup or whatever they call it now?

[Ga Pala]

England to win the World Cup ?

[Bellricky986]

Their juniors will get better & better as more & more developments are created to all-weather pitch. As Simon Mountain said, it's difficult to create a The country or Barcelona-style activity on the mud-heaps that are the university & lower-level pitch in stormy ol' Britain.

And I was present at the 1966 WC Final at Wembley, which WE won!

I've been told your band is crap.

Claiming ownership on a worldwide game is laughable. Winter breaks are only required if your pitch turns into permafrost. No point in having it in the UK.

Agreed with your last point.

Where it's played is irrelevant. Like almost all sports, the game was invented in England.

Don't they have winter breaks in spain and italy, no frozen pitches there just lazy footballers.

Scrap the League Cup waste of time.
