OK then. Trying to be sensible and unbiased.
I think the following England should do well. Not sure about the reserves though.
Hart: Johnson, Jagielka, Cahill, Baines; Gerrard, Henderson: Sterling, Rooney, Lallana; Sturridge.
This gives fluidity and strength and gives Rooney the opportunity to try and prove he's world class in "the hole".
I think the BBC trailers for the World Cup are in bad taste with those toy footballers travelling to Brazil.
How nasty it is taking the mick out of headless people.
Quote: Oldrocker @ 8th June 2014, 1:07 AM BSTAccording to a bloke I heard on the wireless last night, who is an expert on betting, match fixing etc, how much will be bet on every minute of all sixty four matches averaged out?
Seems like you all give up so I'll tell you.
£14m per minute.

BTW Oldrocker? Seeing as you'm a yam-yam an' all, did you catch that Danny Baker World Cup special? Some classic footage of the Doog arguing with Jack Charlton, plus some extra sartorial highlights.
Nah, missed that unfortunately. Probably cause by the Danny Baker filters I have installed on all my equipment !
When was that on? BBC? maybe on catch-up?

In order to protect your keyboard from liquid damage, make sure you're not drinking anything when Trevor Cherry appears and gets on the slab for his 'massage'. Revie would do anything for his players.
As with all Danny Baker 'vehicles', I always find them extremely funny and informative but...he is basically Amish with a technological and cultural cut off date of 1979. I imagine that if he ever met Peter Kay, a time vortex would be created launching us all back to dinosaur times.
Not long to go until Brazil v Croatia. Hopefully the samba boys will turn the style on in their own back yard. They haven't been that scintillating for a few years, but hopefully they'll harness the spirits of Pele, Zico, Socrates et al.
I see they're all ganging up on Blatter.
Racists.
I see the refs will have a spray to indicate 10 yards from the ball at free kicks to stop encroachment.
This looks an interesting signing for Liverpool.

The way the preparations have gone, the next time you hear that the England players are putting up a wall, it'll probably be a supporting structure in one of the stadiums.

Can she play football as well?
Sepp Blatter and his interplanetary World Cup. Is he drunk?

There's only one thing on another planet in all this.
