And no one has been killed, no riots or bottle fights, could we be seeing English football supporters becoming civilised human beings :think:

Nah! just an interlude, the animal sub human behaviour will be back, perhaps they have heard about Russian prisons.

It will be 4 years before either Italy or Holland are winning - neither made it through qualifying.

Sweden finished ahead of Holland in the qualifying group and knocked out Italy in the play off. They are in the same group as Germany and it is looking very interesting following Mexico's win yesterday. It looks like Germany will have to beat Sweden, assuming Sweden best S Korea today.

So far I like the look of both Serbia and Croatia as an outside bet to do well. Serbia in particular looked very strong, it's just a pity they don't have a top class striker. You wouldn't want to mess with them in a bar brawl either :grin:

Yes, exactly. That's 2 big boys out of the World Cup already. It'd be nice if a few more joined them by the end of the group stages.

Just to give some other country the opportunity to knock England out of this major competition. *
That's assuming England make it to the Second Round, which is by no means a certainty.


* Like what Iceland did 2 years ago.

It was Wales misfortune to be drawn in the same qualifying group as Serbia. They are a good side and could go a long way.

There's often one 'surprise' team that gets to the quarters / semis - Cameroon and Croatia spring to mind (and Denmark winning the Euros after being drafted in as a late replacement for Yugoslavia in 1992).

I have a feeling for Colombia...they have the creativity of James Rodriguez and the goals of Radamel Falcao, and a simple looking task to progress from their group. They would likely play England or Belgium in the last 16.

Uruguay should also do well, but less of a surprise...

Columbia? Pick another one - they lost to Japan and didn't look very good. Outside surprise team is possibly now England. I suppose Russia are tops on results but haven't played anyone capable of scoring from open play.
