Group One of the European bit is a tough one. Portugal should be favourites, but Sweden are a good side, Denmark are no pushovers, and Hungary and Albania aren't desparately poor: typical bananaskins that could easily end up beating Portugal or Sweden at home. Not sure if it qualifies as a group of death but it's close.

Also, Nigeria and South Africa's group looks tough if only the top team goes through. That can't be right though; don't South Africa qualify automatically?

But yeah the Aussies have a tough ride. I'd still fancy them to top the group, but Iraq'll give them a run for their money.
 
I thought England already choked after losing at home to an undetrmanned Croatia team after the Jews did you a favour by beating Russia? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Tactical dear boy, tactical..... much like the sinking of the argiebargie boat some years back ;)

we seek global domination, not mere European champions status, the east europeans can have that... we are playing the long game, show the cart horse shagging bastards the meaning of DOMINATION, bunch of third world cabage growing twats!


The Jews as you call them, didnt fancy an early shower, hence they fought like christians against the Russian Tiger.

That was Euro 2008. This is world cup 2010, where more or less exactly the same thing will happen with a slightly different configuration of nations.

At least we gave the ungrateful peasants their rat infested homelands back in 1946, which is more than the Hun would've dun! the world cup, if they had their way, would've been a sub group of the Bunders league!

Think of it this way: you would at least have more than one world cup by now if the Huns had won and England was just a corner of greater Frankfurt...

He's just bitter because the only Cup they've ever won was on home soil. And 40 years ago. :rolleyes:
