Personally i don't think Beckham should be in the side, we have much better players.

If we can work together and try and actually mould properly then i think we have a strong chance.

If money was involved however i would sit it well and truly behind Brasil.

England have:

Neville, Terry, Campbell, Cole, Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard, J. Cole, Rooney and Owen. It's a world class team when it plays to its ability. I think Rivaldo has retired/been dropped from international football btw. Germany will be strong.

OK, firstly, it's waaaay too early to start World Cup bragging lol. Now to address some issues brought up anyway.

Um Italy in '34 and '38 off the top of my head (have those years etched in my heart along with "82 :D ). NOt sure if there were any others but I know that for a fact.

Um can't beleive someone thought Toni was English. That's sacrilege to any true fan of the beautfiul game who knows ANYthing about European football. He leads the serie A in goals. With all that said, Gila is the best striker in Italy:yes::. And I was a Gila fan before he even came to Milan and thought he was the best striker in Italy. Now that he's with them he is only the second best striker on the team (behind Sheva) and deals with a LOT more attention after the last two seasons he had with Parma. Plus he's six years younger than Toni. And as good as Toni is he's more in the mold of Vieri. A great finisher but he doesn't create his own opportunities as much as Gilardino does. But yes I think a 1-2 punch of Gilardino and Toni in the World Cup will be nearly unstoppable:yes::. Shcokingly enough, it is Italy's defense that concerns me more than anything:blush:: . Never thought I'd hear myself say that

Hmm, last time we (brazil) went to one world cup thinking that we had already won, we lost....i prefer when it happens like last cup, nobody gave nothing ebcause we have barely qualified.

Indeed brazil have some impressive players, but other countries too.

I think as was said before by SoulSphere that Holland indeed have a good chance, Mexico, Argentina and England would be my other bets.

I just hope Germans will not cheat like Japan/Korea....ffs, remember the games against Italy and Spain.

Another thing, i think it is ridiculous for the last champion to play the qualifications.

edit here.

Btw England x Argentina in the stadium few meters from where i live (Geneva).

If not many ppl, ill watch it with my wife. :happy:

You, my friend, are mistaken. Brazil have won back to back World Cups - in 1958 & 1962, as did Italy in 1934 & 1938.

Man, Brazil have great chances, but England, Czech, Italia, and Portugal have great teams...

Personally, I think Brazil will lose in the 1st Phase. I hate this "best team" hype, and to get great results, they will need to fight against the ego, fist of all.

I'm looking forward to the World Cup - and as its in Germany, should be on at slightly more sensible / accessible times!

Fingers crossed for England - i'm proud of our country and our team but I think there are just teams out there who want it more than we do. And for gods sake, I hope they keep Peter Crouch off the pitch.. he's fecking useless!

Mateus-ES does seem a bit confident.. but thats pretty symbolic of the Brazilian team anyway. They do have some spectacular players though.. I think they will get pretty far into the contest!

Just don't want any more of that Rivaldo style football.. gets a light tap on the leg or something, covers his face as if he's in spectacular pain, and hits the deck rolling round like he's just been shot.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      By The Norwegian Drone Pilot · Posted

      The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing Microsoft Edge on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
