Belgium is the other the 'dark horse' of the tournament, but they seem to be a bit shaky in terms of mental toughness, which is key in this situation.

Ah you are fine jr, still 13 hours to go as I write this
Shows you how good he is that we will forgive him that!
Can we have him back please; give you a Lee Evans in exchange....
What makes you say that they are mentally shaky? Quite the opposite, I'd say. They look well up for it.
Have to believe a team with Vidal in it will do well.
The Netherlands it is then. Just to make Van Gaal's next step extra special.
Spain will win every single game right up to the final one, or two nil, in the most boring way possible.
Nah man, Lee Evans is kind of a bit alright-ish.Ah you are fine jr, still 13 hours to go as I write this

Give them Russel Brand, they're used to putting up with absolute scum brits like Piers Morgan, he'd fit right in.
Heard on the news Mick Jagger re-arranged all their recently upcoming gigs and commitments around the England games. Pretty cool.
Deal on Russel Brand DS...although Evans wouldn't be high on my own list, I'll definitely defer on Brand!
Evans would be no great loss for me tbh(like the odd joke of his, mate is crazy for him though), but may as well use the opportunity to it's fullest extent.
Opening Day Lunchtime Bump

I'm so going to win this. Titus will be eating crow for all those lousy comments about Canadians.
Canada winning the actual tournament would be a safer bet....and they aint even in it!

They're not in it? What kind of crooked operation is this? This whole thing stinks to high heaven of kickbacks.
Didn't you know? FIFA is the most corrupt organisation on the planet, now if we only knew someone with CIA contacts........

For Titus:
"England: AHAHAHAHAHA YOU HAVE NO SHOT. None. Zero. You are the Knicks of soccer. If only your national team could make like your EPL teams and import legitimately talented players from nations that aren't populated exclusively with ginger albinos who have a moping complex. Instead, you get the corpse of Wayne Rooney. Is David Beckham still on this team? David Beckham was shaging terrible. "Oh, but he was so good at corner kicks!" Well, that's brilliant. A player who excels only when the opposing team is dumb enough to accidentally boot the ball behind its own net. WHAT AN ASSET.
Let's talk briefly about England as a whole, because England is Ireland without the fun. English people like mayonnaise, lawn bowling, maintaining an antiquated class system, and ABBA, in that order. It's a relative's home that you dread visiting."

I'm quoting this, just so I can repost it at a later date before you delete it.
Badly written, third-rate, lame attempt at a piece of humour.
You should read The Guardian. They are MUCH better at this kind of stuff.
Clever, witty, entertaining.
These are three things the author of that article needs to Google.
We might disagree on a few things in the other football thread, matante, but I'm happy you're here.
I'm expecting all manner of attempted hijacks and nonsense comments from fairweather 'fans' and wiseguys.
Keep this shizzle fo realz.
"You English! You think you're so superior, don't you? Well you're the filth of the planet! A bunch of pompous, badly dressed, poverty stricken, sexually repressed football hooligans!"
