More difficult than Paraguay, Trinidad, Sweden, Equador and Portugal though  :-k

 

Didn't Brazil in 58 beat Wales in the 1/4s, France int semis and Sweden (managed by an Englishman) in the final? The only game they didn't win that tournament was against England, and Wales was their toughest knockout match - now if that's not an easy tournament I don't know what is :D

 

 

On another note, cropped up tonight, what would have happened in 66 if extra time hadn't produced a winner? I don't think pens were around then were they? Was a replay on the cards?

Not too sure, putting aside the group stages (which they had the easiest group of the lot), I would put portugal and sweden ahead of a hardworking but average germany (on home soil) regardless of last nights result, and I did not see anything tonight to make me think 'f??ck mop, they are good', especially when France looked very tired.

I have a feeling it was going to be a replay; Biffo will probably confirm and George will probably have a programme from it

Italy had a tough group i thought, on paper anyway

 

Spain had the easiest group

All things equal, I dont think they would have beaten Brazil, Argentina, or Portugal, regardless of what happened to them.

 

you could have sounded all intelectual and started that ceteris parabus

you would have sounded even cleverer if you had spelt it ceteris paribus

I understand what your saying satan but he could still play at full back like Henrik does, or as Captain Kirk once said "Ad eundum quo nemo ante iit"

I give up!, your Bolton School history pisses on my mere Grammar School education.

 

It means:

 

We're off to see the wizard: the wonderful wizard of Oz! :D
