13 games unbeaten now Gary.Great result and performance for the team today.Could have been 3 or 4 and Bosnia are no pushovers.Hungary during the week now.

All we need is a result against the Croatians and we have a chance of qualifying for the quarters.McGeady made a huge impact when he came on so he is a definite starter.McClean will be brought on if we are losing i think.If i find out McShane has snook his way into the squad for the Euro's i will lose the plot.Onwards and upwards!

Lads,

Who's up for a wee wager?

We have $22,000 in prize money up for grabs, with our Euro 2012 promotion and plenty of chances for 'friendly' banter! Click here for details.

So my predictions for England, in no particular order; lose, draw, draw.

Cheers,

Mark

Nah, England will beat France 3-0, everyone will get all hyper about us winning the tournament then we will lose 1-0 to Sweden and lose 3-2 to Ukraine and go home.

Lol! Sadly, you're probably right. Or we hammer Belgium 5-0 in the warm-up match the media goes wild, proclaiming us as dead certs, then we loose all three group matches.

Are footballers heads getting smaller? or headphones getting bigger?

You still up for getting a fantasy league up and running Mark?We probably need to get a new thread going for it with rules and what not in the opening post if you can do that.Haven't done fantasy stuff before and i know you have so can you set a few guidelines and thoughts going so we can get our thinking caps on.

@Waiboy Are you in hiding already with the tour only a week away?Do you know something that we don't on this side of the world.I see history in the making soon!

Spoiler

but not on the tour of New Zealand :facepalm:

Ferris is out but generally a strong enough squad.Don't know how things are in NZ and with England too Mark but rugby players careers are getting shorter and so many enforced retirements happening nowadays.Countless players in Ireland have had to hang up their boots this year alone and i know Ferris and Cian Healy are now on restricted training regimes to prolong theirs and to try and keep their bodies in some sort of shape.

Anyway i look forward to the tests and England v SA should also be very interesting.

haha,wouldn't surprise me either.I'm sure ye haven't beaten Sweden in 40 years or something.Don't forget in that game ye get beaten 3-2 by Ukraine,the last goal will be a penalty given away by Rooney who in turn gets sent off and then will be the villain in the press and every premiership ground for the next 2 years.

Rhetorical, right? There's no way they're getting smaller. Perhaps they're growing larger at a slower rate than headphones?

You might want to have a little wager on that too just in case! :)

Good analysis...the head to headphone production ratio is well out of sync!

Not sure I'll get to post closer to the time, so with ~28hrs to go I'll just wish you good luck Ireland.

PS LeBron James is an f'ing beast.

Not looking forward to getting our asses handed on a plate for the umpteenth time at the hands of the ABs!

Might as well concede already... GG Wai!

My bet was that Poland would win 1-0, but after stupid mistake by Polish defender and GK we have 1-1. Bye bye 4 points :) hopefully Poland can make 2-1 and I still get 3 points.

What do you guys think of this for a Euro dutch?

Spain 36.12 @ 3.95
Germany 31.01 @4.6
Holland 19.28 @ 7.4
France 13.59 @10.5

Total stake = 100
Return = 142.67
Profit = 42.67

Been thinking about who else could win in. And England wouldn't be great to be fair. And can see Italy flopping with the match fixing scandal....
