Fallen soldiers

Don’t take the piss. I’m not bitter. C…

Hey @Fatso, fuck you.

…Ps I love you

Suck my balls, @KRG

It’s a pity Tony Adams and Paul Merson are still not playing for England,

My team could have made a fortune supplying them

Bollocks. I was so confident of low amigo.
Then Lawro predicted a win for us.

Who won the BTripz sponsored prize for most goals conceded in the Group stages? :lou_wink_2:

No no no. I’m sure it was a prize for no goals conceded…

Before I forget, are there any more side bets I need to pay into the just giving page?
I know there is a fiver from bletch and a fiver from litsl.
Incidentally, you can pay these straight into the just giving account in the future:

Not sure I’m fancying many chances in this round… @Llwybr-Cyhoeddus is probably (fairly rightly) sitting there all smug and confident and whatnot. Not to worry, my weapons-grade tacos are at hand and ready to be hurled at things in anger and disappointment. ¡ay carumba!

I think that Brazil will have a greater fear of teams that play them more frequently (Latin America), rather than those that sit and watch them in wonder.

Until that last game I quite fancied Mexico.

Now I’m not sure who is going to turn up.

Judging on how my mouth feels/tastes right now I think I may have done last night.

I will honour my promise, just need to get someone to do the online payment thing for me. Should be done by the end of the week.

Fk the skate and the splitter for letting me down. Think they’d have a better chance than @Fatso 'so lot.
