***Official Japan v England Thread***

[Dameerto]

Apparently they're called vuvuzelas, those plastic horns. I can't say they bothered me much during the Conferations Cup either (certainly not as much as these four tuneless old blokes in the England crowd)

[Slim]

Japan go Kamikaze.

[Dameerto]

And the Japanese repay their host's hospitality again. Inscruitable manners. (Ok so we're not hosts, but you get the idea)

[dazby]

New Zealand have beaten Serbia. Big result for the All Whites.

[HeyMark]

England are so shit, no chance of winning the world cup if they play like this. They'll come up against a decent passing team who can keep position and will get slaughtered

OG gets you lot back in the match.

Looks like you might make heavy weather of this WC thingy at this rate, or is Japan just fantastically good?

WINK.

cheers

They'd be favourites playing against the US of A.

How many OGs do we need to spot you for you to win?

cheers

[Slim]

You gotta wonder, both OG's as a result from a crossing Cole.

I forgot the conversion rate, how many OG's do you need to buy Jozy Altidore a neck?

3 OG's to buy Altidore a neck ... so is that how many we're going to have to spot you then?

It's the only way you'll be scoring in that game, so while one will do I feel we should give something back to the nation that, -chuckle- saved us in WWII.

we didn't save you in WW2. We saved the whole fuclin world. Cough. Cough.

cheers

p.s. the US and A will give you a solid match to start off your WC glory. You better get all 3 pts in that match or yr not moving out of the group stage. You heard it here first.

cheers again.

[Dameerto]

Looks like Joe Cole is a dead cert to start on one of the wings - creating chances from both sides for the two goals.

All you did was save fucking France, something I still think you should apologise for.

You better hope we don't turn up, cause that's the only way you're getting anything from the game.

It was Ashley Cole that set the second up

Yeah - that's his schizophrenic alter-ego

i don't expect anything from the match. That's why we'll get something from it. We have nothing to lose. Your whole month hinges on coming out of the gates strong. I think you'll stumble.

The dirty little bullshit secret part of this conversation is actually that, as a glory-hunting foreigner, i follow and care about the Dutch and Italian teams more than the US. But make no mistake, i'd love us to do well and establish something as a top 10 team in the world, and defeat England...we're not quite there yet, and maybe never, but it will be a fun match i think. Wish you and i could share a pint and watch it together...distance makes the heart grow fonder as they say.

Are Ireland in the WC? I'd love to add OD into the mix and make it a threesome...hmmmm.

cheers

What like Mexico? erm

[Dubciteh]

Joe Cole excellent(we really should make a move for him, one of the best bosmans in a long time!), Walcott shit so bad but he will be on the plane as all enlgand managers love him, plenty of heart from SWP but no end product. Cant believe no AJ, hope he doesnt go as it will benefit City in the long run. Very hard to judge this england team, looks good on paper but when they play no different to any other year. As someone said a passing team will kill them, spain and the likes.
