What happens if the top scorers at the WC are joint? Do the bookies still pay out? I.e. If Klose and Henry both finish with 5 goals and Ive Henry on.

Just watched the Brazil v France re-run and have to say Zidane played out his skin! IMO he's definatly in the top 5 all time best players and maybe comes 3rd behind Maradona and Pele.

Germany 7/4 France 7/4 Italy 3/1 Portugal 6/1 Italy isnt a bad bet! I backed Germany on friday before the Argentina game, but i fancy the French to go on and win it. Portugal got a lot of stick from the english media for not playing good football, thats a bit rich coming from them. I think Portugal are a good footballing side but they missed Deco against England. Im going for a Germany v France final.

Who's Ponroy BTW??

I think England will be better with McLaren if he gets the players respects (coz he was a hit or a mis appointment). I dont think he will be as negative as Sven and wont be afraid to make changes or play players like Lennon. If he gets the right staff (Shearer / Venebles) then i cant not seeing them do well.

I had a sneaky feeling about France before the WC started. How can anyone write Thuram, Zidane, Vieira and Henry off?

Im not surprised with France winning at all, they have been improving every game. They arguably still have the best midfield in the world despite it ageing but they should they can still rise to the occasion. I fancy them to get into the final.

Im ashamed of you Holly!!! :D Rooooooooooooooney!!!!!!!

Agreed Craig, they just were not positive enough from day 1. They had positive players in Lennon, Joe Cole, Downing, Walcott etc who didnt get a looking bar Joe Cole. They should of played there best players instead of relying on reputations. They all said we want to have no excuses this time round but they didnt even turn up, they were a average side all way through. Agreed about Hargreaves aswell on your other post he was englands best player.

Ssshh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ....................... Lampard's fat, fatter than me You've only been fans since 2003

Penalties! At least we'll see some shots at goal now!! I fancy England

Boringish game, england have been slightly better coz they have been up against better opposition. Portugal have missed Deco. Rooney was stupid to have a kick out at the player. I can see pens in this game.

There's only one Jorge Cadetey He's got hair like spaghetti He's portugease but we'll support his teeam walking a cadetey wonderland

Germany will play Italy in the semi's In the other i honeslty think it will be France v England but i hope its France v Portugal! France will win the world cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, he was saying none of us drink in dundee! We try to avoid it if we can! BTW arent we building a new by-pass from aberdeen to glasgow that avoids dundee!!

LOL He shouldnt be sacked for that! He's human FFS and wanted his team to win!. Still funny though!

Did he have to pay Council tax? The Scousers surely tried that one on!! Still a quality tune!! bit not as good as "Footballs coming home" Coz tonight we can sing "Englands going home"

But he was good in his first few games I remember when he first came on for his debut ( Dec 2003 easter road in 1-0 win when Hughes got last minute goal) and he played in free role behind strikers and i thought if he could get an extra yard of pace he would be superb!

Your garden???????

Sure was! John Barnes did a wee solo...

Obviously not a shock here then! That means 4 big teams in the semi's ! What a WC! Germany v Italy - what a game !!! Germany 2-1 Italy

But he was being played when not fit and played in the wrong positions Colshy! McLeish even said he brought him back to early from injury! Namouchi could be awesome under PLG!!

Marvin Andrews, Bob Malcolm and Olivier Bernard are favourites to be shown the door next I feel sorry for Big Marv and hope he gets a new club soon. I like Bob but also hope he gets a new club so he can play first team soccer! As for Bernard i hope Celtic sign him! Looking at Le Guen in the picture - i bet he could still do a job on the pitch!

Interesting post colshy, isnt Lampard a doubt? I personally think the man with the most shots of the tournament would be a blessing if he is out. Gerrard would fill his normal role with a holding midfielder behind him. However i expect another dull england performance. If i was Sven i would take a gamble and start with Lennon. Neville back is a huge boost BTW ________________Robinson_________________ Neville______Terry________Rio__________Cole _________________Carrick__________________ Lennon_____Beckham_____Gerrard______Cole__ ________________Rooney___________________ Portugal 1-1 England Portugal to win on pens
