    I know it don't really matter in the scheme of things and rankings are pretty irrelevant anyway but is there a chance they could end up outside of the top 10 off the back of this tournament?

    Also wonder if there will be any repercussions of this in terms of future qualification groups i.e seeding.

    Doubt seeding will be effected for the Qualification Groups as they managed to reach the World Cup in the first place

    What'll be interesting is if FIFA abandon the FIFA Ranking system for picking the top eight seeds (like they did for this World Cup) and go back to the approach of picking seeds based on their historic performance in that competition (think that was the system used)

    When was the last time Germany went out before England at a world cup...? Has it even ever happened? (not sure if you include '66?)

    Not sure if this may be of any interest to you guys? My mate has 2 tickets for the England v Belgium game this Thursday.
    He paid £300 each including flights but he didn't realise when he bought them months ago that it was going to be the same day as his wedding! If you are interested he’s looking for someone to take his place.
    It's at South Shields Registry Office, 4pm. The brides name is Nicola, she's 5'4", about 8 stone, quite pretty, has her own income and is a really good cook.

    Would much rather see Messi lift the world cup then Ronaldo.

    Prick

    I think on the quiet Messi is just as much of a shit as Ronaldo, if not possible more so.
    And you base that on...?
    Fairly consistent rumours that he has a lot of say in who plays and who doesn't. If you're not his mate you don't play much.

    Hence why Icardi never makes the squad and Mascherano plays every game. I'm also convinced that Dybala must've upset Messi at some point as no other logical reason why he never plays yet guys like Meza and Perez gets games.
    So, basically, nothing except rumours then? K
    Have you met Ronaldo?

    Very concerning that. Odd that it seemed to happen so suddenly as well. Hope he's ok

    Bobby Moore was a Charlton fan.
    So we won the world cup in 66.
    FACT
  • 9 of Brazil's starting lineup won at least one club trophy this season, that must be some kind of record.

    How many more do the swiss need to score than Brazil to go top? Is it just the one more?

    Would like to see Brazil dumped out, but that looks unlikely now.
