Winners: Spain

The thing that makes that look unlikely is the fact that Euro teams don't win outside of Europe.

So I'd go with just about any non-Euro team before I'd plump for Spain.

Ivory Coast winning would be appropriate, and very very funny for England fans with a sense of humour. :P

you cant call argentina dark horses. they have 2 of the best strikers in the world and very decent midfield

i know they have an enormous drag factor that is their manager, but their hardly 'un-fancied'

No one is tipping them as likely winners tho.

Mind you, outside of little england, england aren't much fancied either. :P

fair points

but the conditions down there at the moment are hardly unusual for the europeans this time. its a few degrees cooler than here, not much humidity. as long as the european teams acclimatise right i cant see the venues being as bigger issue as normal

A Clive the Clown-esque fact:

This World Cup will be the first World Cup England have played in which will be held in an English speaking country since............1966.

Fate. :lol::lol:

yup, anyone with the best player in the world, and the scorer of the winning goals in serie a and the champions league final, have to be in with a decent chance.

like england, i don't expect them to win, but my jaw wouldn;t be on the floor if they did.

three lions 98

"We still believe, we still believe

We still believe, we still believe

It's coming home, it's coming home

It's coming, Football's coming home

It's coming home, it's coming home

It's coming, Football's coming home

Tears for heroes dressed in grey

No plans for final day

Stay in bed, drift away

It could have been all

Songs in the street

It was nearly complete

It was nearly so sweet

And now I'm singing

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimmet still gleaming

No more years of hurt

No more need for dreaming

Talk about football coming home

And then one night in Rome

We were strong, we had grown

And now I see Ince ready for war

Gazza good as before

Shearer certain to score

And Psycho screaming

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimmet still gleaming

No more years of hurt

No more need for dreaming

We can dance Nobby's dance

We could dance it in France

It's coming home, it's coming home

It's coming, Football's coming home"

      We had a really good weekend this year. This was our 2nd year after giving it a go last year with 3 year old twins (we do Glasto but don't take the kids and have no plans to in the distant future!!).   Highlights of the weekend for me was Peter Hook & the Light, English Teacher, Flaming Lips, Adult DVD and Alex James (I get the karaoke thing but I still thought it was great). Missed loads of acts we wanted to see due to having two kids in tow but overall we left happy with what we managed to see across the weekend. Some great food vendors, good to see Steak Frites make an appearance this year, one of my faves from Glasto. Festival is really well run, toilets remained clean and stocked with loo roll all weekend, even on Sunday night/Monday morning. The walk from the cars is a ballache but it is what it is, arriving Thursday evening meant we were parked as far away as you could be.   My only gripe is that there seems to be a trend of parents letting their teenagers camp completely separately to them in family camping. We had a large group of 15-17 year olds near us who came home pissed up every evening at 3-4am being really loud and annoying! I get that it's a festival etc but I think it's taking the piss a bit letting your kids camp separately and disrupt everyone else.   All in all we had a really good time and are looking forward to next year.
