now now sinto, just because you have won a game [ONLY JUST.] don't get to excited, your team,s bus ticket home is already booked, , and they had the cheap seats, tight sods.

I wouldn't have it any other way

those dear tickets aren't worth it

Yes shame. It was a good game though.
But at least we weren't the first host nation EVER to get knocked out in the group stages.

Yes we have that accolade, we also have been in 3 finals and won one of them!!! Wales none.

But bugger me you had even me cheering them on towards the end, the Dragon just ran out of puff.

Hard luck Wales you gave it a bloody good go.

I watched the game down west, where men are men and sheep are nervous, great game so near but so far that's life, gutted,. right who else can we wind up..

Gotta feel for Scotland. They thoroughly deserved to win that only to be robbed in the dying seconds. Beaten by one point.
Ireland on the other hand were completely outplayed even though they did show a glimmer of a comeback, but that didn't last long.
Doesn't make the remaining matches of much interest, yet again. Although I would quite like to see Argentina win now.

Can anyone help me with this ----- I have seen that on the back of the shirts there is a rectangle lump sewn in just below the neck, now is it some sort of padding or a gps tracker to plot the game after for full annalist (which is my theory )

Scotland gave a great fight with the Aussies. Lost with a minute to go... Looked like the ball came off an aussie last for there penalty at the death.

BBROWN1664 · « **Reply #38 on:** 19 October 2015, 08:30:25 am »

It did come off an Aussie last. The reason for the penalty was it came off a Scottish player first. They went back for the first infringement as they always do.

Grayo, there are two reasons England were the first host nation to get knocked in the group stages. First, you have heard before, is because of the way they do the seeding based on ranking 3 years before the games.
The second is Scotland and Wales have never hosted the World Cup

Wales hosted the World Cup in 1999.

Grayo, Wales may have officially been the host but it was more like a 5 nations event with some matches spread across Scotland, England, Ireland and France

esetest · « **Reply #41 on:** 19 October 2015, 01:26:03 pm »

An Englishman walks into a bar and the entire Northern hemisphere are there .
