    Very true, Lennon or Walcott should have a big impact there. The USA de-fense looks pretty ropey.

    Serious question - is there any single position that the US has the upper hand over the Brits, aside from goalie?

    Most non-English British people are probably hoping this happens.

    Long Crouch cares not for the colonies.

    To be honest, I'm more used to this happening than not having spread our influence widely and then watched as each nation took our national sports and got better than us.

    However, in this instance, no, I'm afraid your team aren't really up to it.

    B/w As neil mentions, it's only England that are playing. The other countries in Britain, sadly, weren't decent enough at football to qualify.

    Wales' qualifying group:

    Team Pts
    Germany 26
    Russia 22
    Finland 18
    Wales 12
    Azerbaijan 5
    Liechtenstein 2



    Team Average Attendance
    Azerbaijan 22,046
    Finland 26,195
    Germany 48,069
    Liechtenstein 3,665
    Russia 42,020
    Wales 18,727


    You have to question whether Wales even merit a place in qualifying.
    Second lowest average attendance. Speaks volumes about the lack of support over there. Bested by the Finns, twice.
    Pitiful.

    Giggs must surely rue the day he abandoned the white for the red.

    Here's hoping we can be drawn with Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra next time.

    That's 99.7% of the population. Go 'Stein!

    Tafs concentrating on rugby?

    Neil_Summat to speak on it.

    Well played!

    There has to be a few Argies of Welsh descent who could help bolster the team? Prestatyn Patagonian ish. Perhaps a few English lads with a dodgy granny and no hope of playing for In-ger-lund could hold their noses and cross Offa's Dyke now and then to help the cause?
    Maybe some unrecognised young talent at Newi Cefn Druids or languishing in the Airbus reserves?

    It's a long shot, but blimey you can't go on getting trounced two to nothing at home to geezers who spend 6 months in permanent darkness and eat piss-pickled reindeer meat.

    I think Wales should apply to join the Oceania Football Confederation. If New Zealand can qualify from that group we should have no problem. Plus away matches in Tahiti or Fiji would be a bonus.

    As for rugby, they may be concentrating on it but they're still not that good. The Magner's League is probably the equivalent of second or third division rugby.

    Damn, the Brits are playing in the world cup again.










































    After all these years.

    hopefully dempsey will see all the english dudes and think he's playing for fulham, because he seems to play 3x better for club.

    Meriman thinks England = Britain

    Political definition[/b]
    Great Britain[/b] is the largest island of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland[/b]. Politically, Great Britain also refers to England, Scotland and Wales in combination, and therefore also includes a number of outlying islands such as the Isle of Wight, Anglesey, the Isles of Scilly, the Hebrides, and the island groups of Orkney and Shetland.
    It does not include the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands which are not part of the United Kingdom, instead being self-governing dependent territories of that state with their own legislative and taxation systems.




    The union of the kingdoms of England and Scotland began with the 1603 Union of Crowns, a personal union under James VI of Scotland, I of England. The political union that joined the two countries happened in 1707, with the Acts of Union merging the parliaments of each nation, and forming the Kingdom of Great Britain, which covered the entire island.




    Geographical definition[/b]
    Great Britain lies to the northwest of Continental Europe and east of Ireland. It is separated from the continent by the North Sea and by the English Channel, which narrows to 34 kilometres (21 miles) at the Straits of Dover. The island is physically connected with continental Europe via the Channel Tunnel, the longest undersea rail tunnel in the world which was completed in 1993. It is surrounded by over 1,000 smaller islands and islets.


    Hopefully that clears it up for you dudes. Although carrying on with the ROW geography fail is always supergood for the purposes of winding-up the Welsh and Scots.

    Goalkeeper and midfield are strongest points for the US.

    Probably you all percieve the midfield to be stronger than it actually warrants, tbh.
    Donovan and Demspey are decent players, but not top-tier.
    The defence looks mad suspect and the attack is unproven.

    Top advantage? Energy levels / stamina / general conditioning.
    Overachieved in 2002, under achieved in 2006. minimum satisfactory outcome for them is to 'emerge from the group phase'.

    At least according to TalkSport radio this morning.

    Alan Brazil, professional buffoon and lardy alky , but better than the combined might of Chris Evans on 2, Paul Ross and Gabby Roslin on Radio London and the crimes against humanity that are Capital and Heart. And no, Radio 1 is not even an option.
