Yeah well it was a nice thought but i mean cmon, how many North Koreans are even allowed out of their horrible country let alone have the money to do so.

Still, Brazil and England man what a dream for these kids aye, what i would do to be selected even as backup!!

Three for me, and two for them.

True that Buffon - still those communist countries always produce hardened sport people, aye? I betcha both Brazil and England are eyeing up Nth Korea and NZ and saying ...yep 1 and 2 respectively, just 'hope' the lads can cause an upset along the way.....set the expectation low and if we can get a result from any of the games, will be positive....

So long as they go out there and believe they can do it. Otherwise they may as well stay at home if they think they're there to make up the numbers. Cause like my coach says, "Football's the only sport where a sh*t team can beat a good team on any day".

Three for me, and two for them.

Yeah know what you mean - I believe last year they had 10 or so solid players but this year, competition within the squad and new additions has meant they have a strong squad from 1 to 20 plus non travelling reserves...and of course they have the Costa factor.....pity Tom Smith put his lot in behind England but who wouldn't aye.....maybe its payback time for the kiwis, Mr Smith (LOL)....
