Well that's a promising start for England, half the players aren't even singing the national anthem, the other half are singing it wrong, it's God save the Queen, not our Queen :rolleyes:

 

God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen:

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us:

God save the Queen.

 

O Lord, our God, arise,

Scatter her enemies,

And make them fall.

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

God save us all.

 

Thy choicest gifts in store,

On her be pleased to pour;

Long may she reign:

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice

God save the Queen.

Wright-Phillips 1-0 England :D

Yay :D

 

Now let's hope England continue to attack to get another couple goals, not sit back on the 1 goal lead, to get a good goal-difference, as it's pretty tight up top.

3-0 :D

 

Next stop Russia.

Great day for English sport.

We won the football, rugby and cricket!!:D

The Netherlands have just won 2-0 versus Bulgaria. :D

So why are you so happy?

because i've got some relatives in the Netherlands.

So does that mean you're part "Cheesehead"??:rolleyes:

Sure, I am. :) By the way, Van Nistelrooy has put a goal.

Sure, I am. :)

 

So that explains the Van Nistelrooy shirt!:rolleyes:

Wales are losing to the Germans, not really surprising.

You're smart.

Slovakia 2-2 Republic of Ireland

 

Slovakia steal a late goal.

On Wednesday, France vs Scotland.

Wales are losing to the Germans, not really surprising.

 

:cool: Boring game, but we won!

 

Great to see that we can easily beat teams like England or Wales without players like Frings, Ballack, Lahm etc. who are all injured. That raises my hopes to the tournament in Austria and Switzerland. :nice:

Wales isn't really a great football nation, the only major tournament they have qualified for is the World Cup 1958

... and were kicked-out by Pelé!

 

The commentator said it about 100 times yesterday... ;)

So Wales are one of those teams who have limited hope of getting into the main competition.

Unfortunately yes. But I really hope Scotland will make it this time! They're 2nd in their group! :D

Scotland in, replacing either Italy or France?

That would be a surprise, wouldn't it? :D Why not?

 

I remember having Ireland in the World Cup 2002 instead of the Netherlands... ;) Everything's possible!

Henry unable to play against Scotland, so maybe they'll win.

How come? Is he too busy paying off his ex-wife??:rolleyes:

If the Scots manage a draw against the French then they might just get in on the result of the french/italy game, which ended as a goal-less draw.
