Football World Cup Draw For Brazil 2014

No different to the hype of individual clubs, Liverpool, Man U, Chelsea, Man City, they all get hyped up at various times. I Also hate Man U as you clearly do, but when Beckham played for England he was a top man as was Bobby Charlton and so is Rooney today. I feel that the national team is such that anyone who refuses to play should be permanently excluded when they decide to, later, announce their sudden availability and that if a club side pulls a player without absolute proof of injury then the player should be unable to play for their club for a minimum of two games, and that no club manager should be able to refuse a player when a national manager calls them up!

^^^ this man talks sense. Take notes Liverpoolphil:thup:
 
Interesting view on England from Liverpoolphil. When Reading players, even ex players, play for their country I want them to do well. To want your own country to fail, captained by one of your team's players is very odd. Wouldn't you like to see someone that has shown loyalty to the club for over 15 years do well personally, or do you not have any affinity for your players ?
 
It is an unfortunate fact that in Scotland some supporters of the Rangers (Sevco) and Celtic have zero interest in the Scotland national team - an attitude that is fortunately pretty much limited to the support of these two teams. But then again I am not sure whether the TA would welcome these supporters into their ranks unless true and absolute signs of them having had an epiphany were presented - and for that to happen I suspect hell would have first frozen over (which would be OK as the ice would keep them where they belong :))

That's fine - got no problems with you disagreeing with that.

But it was always be club before country for me - it's the clubs that pay their wages and it's the clubs that suffer when they get injured on international duty. I'm a Liverpool fan not an England fan - could never support players from teams that I hate with a passion amongst many reasons.

Typical sentiment from some of those who come from 'The People's Republic of Liverpool'.
Please seek independence ......................... please. Then you could actually be patriotic!
Imagine that.
'Hate with a passion' ......................... grow up and think about what you've written, 'hate with a passion', what have they done to you to make you hate them with a passion?
I'm not a Liverpool supporter, far from it ........................ but I don't hate them, or any other team. I want Liverpool to fail, as they surely will, again, but I don't hate them.


Slime.

I served my country for 22 years so please don't judge my "patriotism" based on a sport.

When you say Served your country I'm guessing Mc Ds/KFC drive through??? I'm basing this purely on the rubbish you write on the forum.
No offence to Mc Ds/KFC employees:thup:

You guessed wrong.

If you can't be polite to someone then don't bother relying.

You are being directly rude and it's uncalled for.

People can be patriotic in many ways

Just because I don't like the England Football team doesn't mean I hate England or want independance etc as suggested.

Indeed, can't remember serving with many people who joined through patriotism though tbh

Met plenty of people who joined to serve for their country. And met many who joined to get a job but then became very patriotic

But not patriotic enough to follow the fortunes of the National Football team then.....but happy to follow Cricket etc.....when you're a Football fan.........

Finding it hard to fit all that together really.....

You don't have to fit it all together - that's just how it is for me.

But, just as you're entitled to say it how it is for you we are entitled too and I suspect that you didn't "serve your country" but simply "took the wages" just like your Liverpool players do. It us the national team players who serve their country and don't pick up 50 grand a week for doing so that I think deserve support as they are out there playing for you, me and everyone whose English just as SILH boys are for Scotland.
 
Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica wont fancy playing us very much either. We have as much chance as anyone else.

I actually fancy us to do very well this time. Hodgson is different from our last few managers. He has tactical nous and experience, he certainly knows a lot about the Italians.

Don't give up on them before we even get over there :angry:

I agree Sawtooth. Hodgson will be tactically sorted and hopefully with a bunch of players willing to give all for the cause and not allow any of the in fighting that marred the last World Cup. No, we arn't coming home with the cup but there is no reason to believe we won't get out of the group.
 
Excellent last 2 posts. Think the thread was getting a tad too personal and it is good to get back on track which for anyone that has forgotten was about:

Football World Cup Draw for Brazil 2014.

BTW we are in New Zealand at present so please do not think I am a saddo posting at 4 a.m in the morning!

It's 2am and I'm not in New Zealand..:D..

Anyway, for some strange reason, I couldn't really concentrate on the draw. Something else kept catching my eye every time they switched to the 2 presenters...:o
