    Wonderful team Stolpi, I remember 1974 and 1978, so unlucky to lose both finals to the host nation.

    What the German coach should have done! Either before or after.

    Germans aren't very good at winning in Russia.

    Ach, I'm more than happy with England's record in World Wars and Germany's record in World Cups...

    The last time Germany were knocked out of the World Cup in the first round was in 1938, look what happened 12 months later!

    Indeed. Neither are they very good at winning in England with a Soviet officiating.

    Think I've got this right,
    We play Belgium tonight, it dosent matter who wins because we both play either
    Colombia, Japan, or Senegal. (don't expect any problems there)??????????
    Should (not if ??) we win that. We then play Brazil or Sweden. Assuming Brazil beat Mexico and Sweden beat Switzerland.
    That then takes us down to the last 4 or semi finals.

    Come'on Engerlund.

    Graham.
