Alan Medic Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Saturation is the word. Back in the day the WC was a chance to see much more live football than you normally had the chance to. Nowadays I am selective about what I watch as there are too few games that I actually enjoy. As for WC's (not toilets), the one that sticks in my mind as being the best was the 1970 one. England v Brazil was on my birthday (Moore v Pele) and England v W.Germany was unforgettable. Peru were great and Brazil fantastic.This WC is again putting money before players. The k.o. times for some of those games in the North are considered by locals to be 'inhuman' (so I have read) due to the heat. I think the Germans come out worst with two early afternoon matches in the heat.If England get 1 point from their first two games I think Mr.Ben's event should be well attended as technically England would still be in a position to qualify.

If memory serves me correctly he wasn't 100% fit last time around. If Cole and Lampard are chosen that's a different matter. They're not even regulars at their clubs and to leave Shaw behind would be a disgrace, assuming Baines is a cert.Not too many players to choose from if this list is accurate:Spreadex?s predicted list of English players to start for their clubs on the opening weekend of the Premier League season. They say between 66 and 69 will feature, accounting for unexpected injuries. Arsenal (3): Gibbs, Walcott, Wilshere; Aston Villa (3): Lowton, Delph, Agbonlahor; Cardiff City (6): Hudson, Caulker, Brayford, Mutch, Noone, Campbell; Chelsea (3): Cole, Terry, Lampard; Crystal Palace (6): Ramage, Ward, Moxey, Thomas, Wilbraham, Gayle; Everton (3): Jagielka, Baines, Osman; Fulham (2): Richardson, Sidwell; Hull City (3): Chester, Davies, Graham; Liverpool (3): Johnson, Gerrard, Sturridge; Man City (2): Hart, Lescott; Man United (6): Ferdinand, Jones, Zaha, Cleverley, Carrick, Welbeck; Newcastle United (1): Taylor; Norwich City (4): Ruddy, Turner, Johnson, Hooper; Southampton (3): Shaw/Clyne, Lallana, Lambert; Stoke City (3): Shawcross, Etherington, Crouch; Sunderland (2): Brown, Johnson; Swansea City (3): Britton, Shelvey, Routledge/Dyer; Tottenham (4): Walker, Dawson, Rose, Lennon; West Brom (3): Foster, Jones, Ridgewell; West Ham (5): Noble, Nolan, Jarvis, Downing, Cole/CarrollPS Those smileys represent 6.
