6-0 against san marino isnt really much to brag about, I mean San Marina have a smaller population than Stratford, Ontario :toothless |

+1, but in all honesty they could have scored 30 if it would have made a difference.
Congrats to Serbia (to any Serbs here), your consistency was enough in the end for 1st place. |

If u think thats the reason ur LOST.
The Brazilians ALL play in super high quality leagues.
As do the Germans and Argentines.
And the the Italians have an INCREDIBLY tuff league as well.
So thats DEFINITELY NOT the reason England doesnt win anything.:rolleyes: |
Bro, FA Premiership is the toughest league on the planet. Italian/Argentinian/Spanish leagues are all about technical skills. FA Premiership is played by all strategical set pieces that each manager makes up. I'm sure when you play for a club like Arsenal/Man Utd., your not just entitled for beign there and making loads of money. If you have the skills, that's a advantage for you but I'm aware that you do have to manage in your memory set pieces that you practice before games. On top of that, FA Premiership is the fastest leauge played as well. Bundesliga is a more controversial league. Latin leagues are a bit more relaxed, where there's nothing wrong with it but you can't compare them to FA Premiership :clown: |

| ....poland lost to england 2-1 in a very close game. Both teams were missing major players but it was pretty entertaining. Poland still has a long way to go. See you in Germany ! |

I personally think England is going to do well this time around but not because of the weather. Brazilians have just as good of a chance being that they are good under both types of conditions. |
you guys are missing the point here. I'm not saying it's a deciding factor by any means. But it DOES give Europeans a better shot at winning in their own climate. Have any of you guys ever tried to play a game of football in the searing 35 degree heat in the summer as opposed to at night? It's a huge difference. Another factor is that if it's in Europe, there will naturally be more European fans for each European nation. England, for example, will probably almost feel at home in a few of their games because of all their fans coming out.
But anyway, if you guys really think the weather is not a big factor in sports matches, especially with all the other pressures lumped in with it, then I doubt you guys were ever athletes. |

the last world cup held in europe was in france and brazil romped all the way to the finals... but i think your right though ... from the start of the tournament to the day of the finals i think there was a 2 degree drop in the temperature and that made ronaldo so cold that he decided to poison himself to avoid freezing his ass off in that 70 degree winter which is probably what the average temperature was in the united states in 1994 when brazil WON the damn thing ... i think all you know about that tournament was that the finals was played in california where given its relatively warmer ... and germany made it all the way to the finals in asia but i guess its only on the day of the big game that teams realize how hot or cold it is in contrast to their respective weather conditions

It doesn't affect Brazil either way since they're used to hot weather anyway. All I'm saying is it gives Europeans more of an equal playing ground. I remember the 86 WC in Mexico...it was literally 45 degrees outside for the England-Argentina Hand of God match. Kevin Keegan later said he could barely breathe by the 2nd half.
The 94 WC is another good example...don't remember Baggio blowing it over the bar in penalties? The Italians were absolutely ed by extra time because of the heat.
I'll ask again...have you ever tried running up and down a football field for 90 plus minutes in extremely hot weather? |
