(11 May 2014, 2:13 pm)Adam Where I'm sitting at Wembley is close enough to where I sit at a normal home match at the IS.
I know what you mean about having a rubbish coach on long journeys. Last year, I went to Silverstone on one of those Newmarket Holidays and we ended up on one of Lee's of Durham's Van Hool Eos'. It was boiling hot and the air con was broken. Absolutely painfully ridiculously horrible

(15 May 2014, 8:36 am)Andreos Constantopolous Will watch it, but like Newcastle, England frustrate the hell out of me.
The eldest has lived through a few world cups, but the South Africa tournament was the first he can remember - he was only 1 and 5 for the others.
The excitement and anticipation he had was destroyed by England being sh!t.
Brazil have to be favourites, but the tournament wont run smoothly.
Coach allocation email came just now.
Hopefully you have yours too.

(15 May 2014, 9:21 am)marxistafozzski I think your right there mate, Brazil are like Footballs version of the New Zealand All Blacks, not so good on foreign soil, but should be dominant at home...
But, never play the chances of the Germans, Spanish, Italians or Dutch...
I am going for a Brazil v Spain final
As for it not running smoothly, I honestly dont know how it can run at all, some of the stadia are nowhere complete, it should have been taken away from them at least a year ago, the problems they have had have been well documented for ages now. Not to mention the internal problems the country has been having with rioting and protests as well. But nothing can be done about it now, it is only just over 3 weeks away...
I am also not fussed about England these days, after 25 years being served with shite, I have had enough, I am very passionate and patriotic, I love my country to death, but when 11 footballers do piss all for us, then that is the point I give up on them. England have not had a good team since Sir Bobbys team in 1990 and right now I cant see another team being as good as them, better players individually, but as a collective there a pile of steaming shite!!!!!

(15 May 2014, 9:33 am)Andreos Constantopolous The climate, home support, talent and previous tournament experience should stand them in good stead.
I fancy Belgium and a couple of South American teams to do well and get to semi's - saying that, that is without looking at fixtures/groupings.
The whole stadium thing is a farce. It seems like a poor construction worker is killed every week.
No idea what will happen during the tournament, but I foresee an 'incident' too big for FIFA to cover up!

(15 May 2014, 9:39 am)marxistafozzski I think it will come in the form of a protest or riot, not a very good mix where there could be football fans, we all know the English will not back down, nor the Germans or Dutch, I can just see a lot of civil unrest around the world cup, I really hope I am wrong though.
Belgium have a hell of a team and are definately dark horses going into the Tournament, also people have been talking about Bosnia as a possible surprise package. Uruguay are also a decent side with the likes of Suarez and Edinson Cavani, I dont know much about the Argentines, but it is near home for them, so they could be there or there abouts, I dont know what African teams are involved, but they always spring a surprise

(15 May 2014, 9:11 pm)Andreos Constantopolous Maybe he is doing it in batches.
It came from Bernie Williams work account - rather than a club account, but the supporters club were cc'd in.
Give me a shout tomorrow if you haven't heard anything - the earlier the better and I will give you the addreses.

(15 May 2014, 9:57 pm)Adam Bernard is the chairman of the Supporters Club, and does organise all the travel for away games. As you can imagine though, for this occasion he's had a lot of help. Thanks for the offer, but my Dad already has his number so he'll give him a ring if he hasn't heard anything
