Red Alert Posted 2 December, 2009 Share Posted 2 December, 2009 I know its a couple of days away, but have been seeing it all over the place on Sky Sports News. Who would you want to get drawn with? Seems strange to me that France are a 4th seed. Could end with them or Portugal as the 4th team in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummer Posted 2 December, 2009 Share Posted 2 December, 2009 Seems strange to me that France are a 4th seed. Could end with them or Portugal as the 4th team in the group. They aren't a 4th seed. They are just in pot 4, with the other European teams who aren't seeded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Alert Posted 2 December, 2009 Author Share Posted 2 December, 2009 They aren't a 4th seed. They are just in pot 4, with the other European teams who aren't seeded. I guess thats kind of what I meant. We could end up with USA, Ivory Coast and France in the group. Isn't it usually done so you at least get 1 rubbish team in each group?

Um Bongo Posted 2 December, 2009 Share Posted 2 December, 2009 I hope we get Portugal or France. Something to look forward to. For the group stages that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 2 December, 2009 Share Posted 2 December, 2009 what's the chances that within about a minute and half, one of the groups will be called the group of death about the same time it'll take for someone to say a word with the last syllable "gate", after the first dubious decision of the world cup.

Red Alert Posted 2 December, 2009 Author Share Posted 2 December, 2009 Or all the African dancers at every half time. Do they really do that or is it a bit like England hosting to world cup and having the teams arrive on red busses for every game with David Beckham/The Queen driving them?

Rut Posted 2 December, 2009 Share Posted 2 December, 2009 minus 4 months, I think Spain and/or Japan have already complained and asked for them to be banned Normally when teams start asking for things to be banned I just laugh at them - however this time I totally agree. Anyone who just goes to football to blow down a poxy plastic trumpet thing for the whole 90 minutes needs to be shot. 90 min drummers would be NEXT in line - those trumpet things are really that bad. (90 mins is important here - sure bang a drum or blow a trumpet when you score or get a corner but just to go MERRRRRRRRRRRRR or BANG BANG BANG for the whole game is just wrong. F**** off to some village hall to make your racket - not at a football match that you ain't even watching) As for the World Cup - Sam's army are coming - watch out! Check out the FAQ here: http://www.sams-army.com/about-the-army/faqs.html They so nearly 'get it' - but not quite. Some good Q&A's like: Q/ Why do you stand instead of sit in your seats? A/ One of soccer's finest traditions is to stand for the duration of the match. Much of this is attributed to the standing areas, as opposed to seats throughout the rest of the world's stadiums. The standing areas usually housed the more vocal supporters. Besides, we feel sitting detracts from the atmosphere and noise level we are trying to create. Can't argue with that one but then you get stuff like: Q/ I can lead chants & songs - what do I do? A/ The song and chant leaders are situated in the rear/middle of the section. Go there and join in and you'll find your time to create a chant. Please do not start another chant until the current one is over. Starting a new chant/song while another is going is frowned upon and may result in you being "removed" (in a nice way of course!). I dunno what the big fuss is all about anyway - they only know one song U-S-A U-S-A U-S-A!!! Gonna be good - I hope the USA can at least qualify from the group stage.

Once they're married I'm not that bothered. Think it should be 'fiancees and girlfriends' really. Or, looking at it another way, it's a collection of wives and girlfriends. The problem then isn't with WAG, rather with WAGS. It's already plural. Grammar Nazi agrees with this.
