Nazis take over.
I start cheering on England's every opponent, just because. Riquelme does what I suspect he might do.
Zidane dies of a heart attack in the first game.

Well, not the FIRST game, obviously. Although that would be terrible, too.

ian wright remains a regular pundit on the beeb for the duration of the tournament.

Re: 1. You can't be sent off just for diving. It's a caution for unsporting behaviour (simulation). It's a red card for spitting though.

I was thinking of it being a "second bookable offence". Two dives in quick succession, perhaps.

they will act like they were on holiday, and drink, and sex it up, and be too tired to even make it out of their group

ACTUALLY - I have started hoping that England win, because it will annoy all the football fans here.

I think he meant here in the 'actually here' sense rather than the ILX sense.

SRIGHT. In the non-virtual physical locality in which I spend much of my time.

Harry Kewell and Tim Cahill will both limp off in separate, innocuous incidents within half an hour of kick-off in game 1 not to be seen again.

― Fred Nerk (Fred Nerk), Thursday, 8 June 2006 01:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Harry Kewell leaving the pitch with an ill-defined injury within 30 minutes of a major match kicking off? What kinda crazy talk is that?

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Thursday, 8 June 2006 01:48 (seventeen years ago) link

"Peter Crouch breaks his meta-tarsal doing the robot dance."

Some kind of grief happening to PC preventing him from wasting space on the pitch would improve England's chances, surely?

Iran Vs. Angola is the game of the tournament.

Someone stamps on Rooney's foot.

two weeks pass...

Ecuador becomes a byword for English failure at football.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Scarily enough, most of my predictions actually did come true. Bah.

1. Owen will get sent off for diving.

Oh, the ironing.

Michael Carrick gets mugged for Ecuador's winner.

England 0 Portugal 1 (Ronaldo '20)

England will play really well and lose.
