Well I used to love watching england up to about 98 france when we had a f**king good team that should of won the world cup under hoddle,then it just got very dull and the players in the dressing room seemed to become all powerfull/superstars and my love for liverpool intensified even more.
I actually think England's best chance of winning the world cup was 2006. Like Euro 2004, man for man they had the best team in that tournament. In fact with Euro 2004 I believe they could have won that tournament and if they had beaten Portugal in that quarter final in Lisbon they would have gone on to win it. Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell, Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard had outstanding tournaments which saw all their reputations increase. World Cup 2006 though they did not show one minute in any of their matches that they could win that tournament. It was lacklustre bollocks where only Owen Hargreaves emerged with an enhanced reputation.
It could be funnier than being Australian but I just loved the prospect of seeing the flags of Australia and New Zealand walked out and the commentator saying 'Welcome to the coverage of the 2148 World Cup final between...Australia and New Zealand!'
The South Americans would roll in their graves, the Europeans would claim some sort of ownership and everyone in the two countries represented wouldn't give two shits an hour later because they'd be piss drunk and near passed out.
You don't know how awesome that would be if Australia and New Zealand met in the world cup final! In fact I am still absolutely gutted that you lot missed out on the world cup bids last December because a world cup in Australia would have been something to behold. I've never been to Australia before but I've seen more than enough evidence in past sporting events there that they would put on the greatest world cup in history.
