Cant get away with the saucy ones,funny as they are .....some proper old states youd be amazed what middle aged Brazilian sorts will do when their side wins .......im sure i can get away with this one,lovely little Costa Rican bird i half fell for nearly didnt bother coming home to be honest lovely sweet natured little thing certainly eased the pain of England losing ! East London on the Copacabana Arriving at Manaus in style Forest of Dean we did a little trip along the Rio Negro and had these nutty little things jumping in and out of the boat if that counts as wild

Ive got one in my sport room just for when the lads come round to watch a game or fight etc......go,s right across one wall i couldnt tell you all the technical details but the picture is perfect its an Epson TW3200,cost around 1500...it claims to give hd projection up to something like 25 feet....you wouldnt want to watch every day tv on it but if you,re a sport or film nut having a bit of a home cinema set up is great......if you have it in a small room and cant get far enough away from it the noise of the fan might drive you mad..and of course the darker the room the better the picture....

What did you realistically expect then Wilf ?......Italy and Uruguay have historically beaten us more than we have beaten them and were betting favorites to go through before us.....Costa Rica were our banker and they turned out a much better side than folk thought..... Style wise it was a no win......we could either try to match technically better players or play the " English way " we would of got criticism regardless.......it went pretty much how i thought i dont know why anyone would of expected much more.

Lukey id say its one of those extremes of both types of places theres some real beauty along with desperate poverty.....trouble is they are little too close to each other for my liking !....For instance this is from our hotel in Rio around 6am....quite nice im sure you,d agree.. Then this is about half a mile away from the roof of my new friend Marcios gaff.....notice the Maracana in the background.....one of the warmest,nicest families and funniest man ive ever come across by the way And Marcios actual family home... You can be in the nicest parts of town yet still

Thats the trouble when something is easily replaced aint it......where some folk will pick up and breed off it they were just replacing like for like with a shrug of the shoulders and a " whats the big deal " attitude........which when you have local village plod referreeing is an easy view to have ...... funny bunch though and probably good for the breed long term.

You reckon How about a nice hi tec Ferry on the Amazon oops bit small that one oh i take it the saucy ones are a no no then ?......shame i had a few gooduns in store for Tomo have to make do with a nice view of Rio from the cable cars at Sugarloaf mountain instead

Thankyou mate i took about three thousand pictures ive yet to go through them yet but i,ll get a few up over the next few days and bore the pants off yous

I think we could all be guilty of pushing the boundaries within any competetive sport when theres so much on the line i dont see the big deal with that i think its the outright cheating/diving that really grates on most fans......maybe im naive but i still like to think no manager would promote diving/cheating in their players.
-
Maybe in England but in my area theres a team in every village and most of the villages are a mile apart. I still find it hard to believe it carries the same intensity and history that football rivalries do.........certainly on a worldwide scale........maybe im wrong.
-
3 0-0 draws and 4 penalty shoot outs out of 62 games, its been a great tournament imo. If im not wrong there only needs to be 3 or more goals in the last 2 remaining matches for this to be the highest scoring tournament in history................" ham bap year "

Very rarely will a link be the weak point of a chain set up.......pay more attention to the connections each end than the chain itself

You still there gnash? Came back Wednesday mate managed to see probably the 2 most remarkable games of the tournament in Belgium/Yanks and the Germany/Brazil game that was good enough couldnt face sticking around for a German/Argie final Wilf you say we was shit.......i thought we did ok.....we played very well against Italy and was unlucky to lose.....didnt really deserve to lose to Uruguay and drew with the group winners i dont think we disgraced ourself with a young inexperienced squad.........personally i never expected us to get out the group the only real surprise was the fa
-
While i wouldnt disagree with you Zigzag dan,the whole referee/diving/cheating thing is something new to English football......in your/my day following footie through the ,s it was nowhere near on the level it is today......i blame foreigners in our game 100%........ive always thought we are a passionate nation about football but having just come back from Brazil ive realised the passion they have for the game is on a completely different level to ours......i spent a few days with a lovely family in the favelas around Rio these people eat sleep and breathe football,any slight advantage they ca

You,d be surprised how many Brazilians genuinely think that game was a fix.....infact you,d be amazed how many Brazilians think the whole tournament is a fix for Argentina to win it in order to get the president Dilma Rouseff out in the next election !.......Even from before the first ball was kicked we was hearing them go on about it and thinking these people are nuts.........yet as times gone on............... The Brazil/Germany game itself was a perfect example of what a load of old bollocks the " English players have no passion " brigade talk !!..........David Luiz in particular.....ho

You just cant compare Epo to anabolic steroids and lump it all in as one and the same.....like many other people who break the rules in any walk of life GREED is what gets you in the end........and Armstrong was no exception.

Good stuff Mouse hope the lad sticks at it .....got a couple of pals with boys on the books of Leyton Orient ( as my lad was at one point but never made the grade )......another mate has a boy at Arsenals academy.......one of only 6 English kids out of 45 + kids i hasten to add I think the days of promising local youngsters coming through the ranks at big clubs is a thing of the past sadly......its probably the smaller clubs who will see the benefit of local talent over the coming years......the downside of that is the coaching quality at that level just isnt there.

Them Russians had a lot of folk eating out the palm of their hands 10 - 15 years ago,fair play to them they saw a market and exploited it.......plenty of pretty average bulldogs becoming 3/4/5.......10 time winners by chalking rolls off as matches i reckon they sold more video tapes than dogs same thing happened over here for awhile tho, hence the SDJ stopped recognizing english dogs. people sending in spurious reports, making dogs into ch/ gr ch with no merit. helped them get a few stud fee from the pit bull news... Absolutely......only difference being they were video taping

I only just got back from a little football tournament a few days ago otherwise id been all over it........always strikes me how you rarely hear footie fans moaning about rugby yet constantly hear rugby fans slagging footie.......ironic how the big toughies seem to suffer a touch of the " little man " syndrome

Young lad ive taken under my wing lately ( no pun intended ) just getting into pigeons a good chap off here sorting him out some birds he,s built a cracking little kitbox/loft type thing seems a nice hobby for youngsters and olduns alike......certainly seems a lot more to it than id imagined !

f****d if id trust anything made of flesh and bone to " protect " anything of great value to me.

Never really been impressed with all that stuff you could make almost any dog do almost any thing with the right bond and the right connection a pit bull is just as trainable as any other breed its just that due to the nature of the breed they get pushed in the direction of all the action man type stuff i personally think its harder than a lot of folk believe to get a dog to bite a human beings skin training or no training......things like this become a game if the dog really thought it was in any real danger you might see a very different reaction it all looks impressive in a controlled envir

Never understood why people constantly compare rugby and football then come out with stupid statements like " rugby players are real men " !!.......whoever said football was about how macho you are ......to me rugby league seems just about the most boring nonsensical competition in sport.........roll the ball back,run 3 yards,have a bundle,stand up.......repeat...but hey if thats what some folk like then great crack on..........but stop comparing to football all the time its like comparing baseball to cricket just because both use a bat !
-
Likewise ive spent a few bob over the years following England at home and abroad......which is why like me you must know that its never England fans who expect us to win things....the fans ive spoken to up and down the country who support big premier league clubs or little lower league/non league teams have always been a pretty realistic bunch.......of course we all like to think and hope we will do well thats what being a fan is about........but what seperates England from other nations is we are the only footballing nation who despise our own players.......countries like Italy/Brazil/Germans

Dont forget the little cage & aviary birds .......best section on here in my opinion.
