That would really put a Partridge among the pigeons.

Get to see Brazil at Old Trafford, cant wait.

BBC are saying that's a tough group, but it really doesn't look like it to me. Uruguay maybe, the others not so much.


I'm looking forward to it as well and seeing who we get in the squad. Am a bit worried though that it's going to be a very poor team.
Spain will presumably be favourites.

I can't see any tough groups

I can't see any tough groups

"Steps" were a surprisingly tough group. They'd kick the shit out of you for looking at their pint.

I reckon they'd also be clear favourites to win this event if they entered

Don't you have to call them bands these days?

Belarus get to play in two groups - that doesn't seem fair?

I live by my own set of rules.

Nor does it seem fair that Japan are not playing in any of the groups.

Umm. Yep, that's how they're doing it. Very unfair, I know...

Get to see Gabon at City of Coventry Stadium, can't get excited.

Can't get excited about the COC stadium? Unbelievable, the moon on a stick wouldn't please some.
