Pretty much at one would expect. Although if I were Bosnia-Herzegovina, I'd be miffed being placed only one slot ahead of England.

It'd be funny if Scotland passed England....

[Lincoln]

Unlikely....we'll just console ourselves with knowing that we invented the sport.

Every scot would literally explode with joy - that's how sad theses cunts really are.

"I am above these people despite the fact that I've just exposed myself as being cut from precisely the same cloth with the 'cunt' chat"

Lend Harry your log-in, shunter, or are you just thick?

The latter, I feel.

Don't get chippy with me son. You know im right. No one in England gives a flying fuck about Scottish football. But the average Scottish fan would support a team of rapists nazis and zombies over England. That's the trademark Scottish fans approach. As unfathomable as it is true. God knows where this bitterness comes from - but it's there

So fuck?

Is this unique or is there a similar tribalism in all football? I certainly wouldn't expect a Spurs fan to wish Arsenal well in a Champions League game, for example.

We're a smaller nation and not perceived as a "threat", I wouldn't expect your fans to give a particular fuck about us... you reserve that for your hilarious whining about Der Germans. Was a delightful finish to the WC, listening to football phone-ins where England fans tied themselves in knots trying to decide who they least wanted to win, Germany or Argentina.

It obviously matters to you in this instance though; given your "cunt" refrain, and the predictable "chippy" chat... it seems that you suffer from the bitterness you see in others.

The funny thing about these rankings is that we don't expect to be higher. You lot do. You've had years of easy rides in tournaments because of the seeding system, despite usually doing fuck-all, and despite doing your best to make an arse of easy groups like in 2010. Now it's finally caught up, and we have the comedy of seeing you seeded where you belong.

It's the sense of entitlement that amuses me most. We even had that moron Adrian Durham on Talksport recently claiming that all previous WC winners should get automatic entry to each tournament!

I assume that Milton is a Sweattie, Tartan wearer?...

If so, defo' supports either Rangers or Celtic...

[shunter]

Chill Milton. No one gives a toss what the scots think about England.

[grecian]

[steveogolf]

U.S.A. 15th, but England only 20th ! That really says something !
I don't know why Greece got ranked so high.

[grecian]

I don't know why the US are so high!

9 times out of 10 England would put them in their place....

England played like shit in the World Cup, Geeky ! They are lucky to be 20th !

[mad hatter]

And FIFA are desperate to grow the sport in the US.

[Lost Soul]

The US is ranked too low.

We're way better than Costa Rica or Mexico, and better than Portugal.

And let's ask the Germans whether we're better than Brazil or not.

No.

[milton]

Chill Milton. No one gives a toss what the scots think about England.

Except you, as evidenced by your posts above.

Having done so badly, I'm not surprised you'd seek to backtrack now though.

[grecian]

Oh dear...

So..*YAWN!*, if you aren't a Sweattie, then just who do you support?

[milton]

Oh dear...

The Sheepshagging Aberdeen!

[grecian]

Better than Rangers or Celtic I suposse...

So you are a Sweattie then.....

(Fuck me this is hard work..)

I was only replying "no" to the second part of your post...

What's your team?

[grecian]

You Grooming me, milts, with a Buckfast in your sweaty palm?...

Exeter City; Liverpool; England...

Odd comb for the first two. You got Scouse sympathies? Shoplift, but only occasionally?

[shunter]

Er Milty- it's quite clear that I don't give a toss about football or Scotland - but nice try anyway!

[grecian]

So what are you doing on a Football World Cup Thread then, Cunter?

I have a sideline where I sell Wheel Hubs on Flea-Bay, Milts...only 'cos I find so many knocked off on roundabouts down here. Loads of Beamers and Audis...none of your Vauxhall Corsa shite...

[shunter]

Cunter?

[milton]

Your earlier posts make it far from clear. Far from clear.

[shunter]

Where?

it's a fact that scots will suport anyone over England - but equally it's a fact that we don't give a toss

Good luck to the scotch - that's what i say. It would be nice if the scotch could return the sentiment. But let's face it - that's a level of maturity that's completely beyond our heroin smoking, deep fried pizza munching unemployed, dieing at 45 northern brothers.

[grecian]

If ever there was a veiled compliment....

[Stephen_Dedalus]

yup, the World Cup is over folks.

If the scotch do not vote for their independence in the referendum, they should integrate a Team UK.

[shunter]

Would anyone notice?

[Stephen_Dedalus]

The only two players woth poaching are both Welsh.

[grecian]

The Scots are 1/8 to Vote NO so even Sode' may well have a $5 at those odds!
