Soccer World Cup.

I'm not that interested 

After  tonight's  game  I  don't  think  the  England  team  is  too  interested  either  HD 

As  to  your  query  Yes  Soccer  is  a  way  of  identifying  the  "Round  Ball  Game"  from  those  using  egg (ish)  shaped  balls  that  also  use  the  name  Football.

Soccer,  I  was  told  by  somebody  with  no  love  of  sports  at  all,  is  just  a  mutilated  contraction  of  "Association"    --  whether  thats  true  or  not  I  ain't  too  sure  but  it  kept  me  out  of  trouble  a  time  or  too  !!

As usual all hype and no substance. The team was pathetic- and they blamed the midges!!

When does it start?

Not taken a great interest in the primadonna's world cup. When do Wales and Scotland play? 

Not  sure  about  "When"  JR,  but  there  is  a  marked  out  pitch  on  Southport   shore  --  Neutral  territory  I  reckon  !!

As a self confessed yokel can someone explain 1) why do England play from side to side and not forwards  2) Why do England wait  to let the opposition defenders get in their right position before crossing the half way line. 

Could  it  be  they  are  trying,  successfully,  not  to  show  those  johnny  foreigners,  how  bloomin'  superb English  footy  really  is  ??

Could  be  really  embarrassing  if  they  go out  and  keep  winning  these  little  tournaments, after  all  it  would  be  very  sad  if  the  other  nations  get  so  depressed  they  stop  playing  .

Long time since 1966- what winning?

1) You've got your telly upside down

2) To give them a chance to get ready
