[awaits a post saying 'I don't watch football and I don't care who wins but I think it's important for you who do to know this'.]
Belgium are ranked 3rd and France 7th. 8 out of the top 10 ranked teams are already home, so yes if the team carry on improving, hold their bottle and reduce their errors. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

I'd be quite pleased if England won.
Then they could stop harping on about 1968 or whenever it last was ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

If they can do it, this year will be the year. Most of the big guns are out, and a few didn't even qualify.

I actually watched it, mostly because I had nothing better to do. Haven't watched a football match since I was a kid.
I must admit, I did find myself kind of egging England on, but the heights of emotion reached by football fans generally does seem a bit strange to me, and the players themselves still seem to me to be a bunch of over-acting pansies whenever they get the slightest knock.
Of course, it would be nice to see England go all the way, but can't say I'm that bothered. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

What does bother me a little bit, is all this talk of how great it is that we've got a chance because all the top-rated teams are out. Well, no, wouldn't it be better if we had a team that could win because it was the very best?
What doesn't bother me, is voting in this silly little poll ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Luck of the draw. You can only beat what's put in front of you.
Even the very best teams can lose - look at how Wigan did Man City over in the FA Cup; it happens from time to time. It doesn't mean that Wigan weren't deserving winners on the day. In the same way, if England do win it, they'll have deserved it every bit as much as if they'd played Spain, Brazil and Germany along the way. |
I'm not sure I agree with that. Of course luck will play its part, but surely at the top level, you shouldn't have to rely on it? I mean, I'm no expert, but I don't think we beat Sweden because of luck. I think England played well, created their own chances through work and skill. After all, if sport was all about luck, why train hard? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Ratings don't mean much. It's a team made up of people with their own skills and abilities and how they all interact together. You can't easily sum that up in a ranking. |
But surely you know when you are watching sports men and women who are good at what they do? Teams like Brazil and Germany aren't highly rated because they have more luck than others? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
