"Maybe Germany are stupid winning their group cos now they have to play us!"

Indeed.

1938 since they last failed to reach the 1/4 finals.

with the exception of when been host in 1966 how many times have england beaten any of the big 4 {brazil,argentina,germany or italy in the world cup finals ?

My nephew works in Germany and he says that the Bundeslega limits the number of auslanders per team. I assume it is limited to four and that this requirement is also extended to their national team

your nephew works too much.....there is no limit


the only limit that will be applied forever is the number of knockout games tiny England wins against us.....it's wembley 66 and today we put that one behind us

BLOEMFONTEIN 2010.... I LOVE IT

Come on the Poleturks you can beat those argies

Listen to me, this is the world cup and there are no such thing as an easy game!  well there aint now England have been knocked out

The Germans ensure not too many foreigners by not creating a cash-oriented framework that attracts them and focusing on the fans and the national game (by letting their kids get in the first team rather than go out on loan for 2 seasons and warm up the bench for the next 2.

No way back for now but I would be much happier with their way

Plus the odd two or three players in from other countries would help England a bit. Tevez has been in england a bit, if he played for mighty Cork City he'd be in the green by now
