It sure is...it could only have been 'worse' if Portugal had taken England's place...then it'd been a real nightmare.. On the positive side, the Cup's gonna be really interesting from the very first game

Thanks Choco: you were so kind that maybe we let you have the third place,... as long as we go to the final . P.S. - Poland is the great revelation in Europe at the moment. Keep up the good work.

Tell Henrik Larsen to watch the Portugal-England in the 2000 Euro Cup. A good lesson on how to win against England . That game was just fabulous... And yes, some matches at the beginning will be really interesting. Good luck to Sweden.

It is scientifically proven that watching a lot of football rots your brain and leads to antisocial and offensive behaviour.

Normally people who say that come from contries without traditions in football (sorry couldn't resist ). BTW you guys: which team do you think it's the most dangerous and the one with the most spectacular football? For me it is France and Portugal (of course ) respectively.

Since then, increasing numbers of the population have sunk into the footballing bog, with obvious consequences of insanity, paedophilia and stunted mental development.

too bad forteh lack of a common border but I just guess that this will be a big mess for the poor spaniards For the next World Cup I am a bit affraid for my national team , but who's know *shrug* after all we won the last one Too bad we draw such a weird grouping ( Danemark, Senegal, Uruguay ) no bad team, no great team
This will be a pretty even group...

Status: offline 		Janusz: Well, we lost the only time we played against you in a World cup final phase, I think it was a goal from Smolarek near the end. We would like to rectify that . In Korea anything is possible I only wish the best team wins. Anyway I don't like that we are favorites in the group. Our football history proves we play worst at that position. As for Poland against Spain: I have nothing against our neighbours but I refuse any comparison. Choose any country with borders with you, I'll go for any deal. Ivan: I guess you are french, it doesn't show at the bottom. You can go to your profile and fill the rest. I think theoretically France have the best team, very good football, very good players and lots of experience. Casper: For sure: Mars has no traditions in football... All football non-fans: If you don't like it don't even enter to read the thread. I sure do not read threads that don't interest me. Have a life...

Status: offline 		Hej, Janusz (Czesc Ci) it's perfectly understable why RichardTheFirst wish not to compare Portugal with Spain, it's for us like somebody wish to compare Poland with CCCP, Slovian people, mixed history but definitivly not the same... So RichardTheFirst : I'm with u about most dangerous teams... definitivly France (however I dont belive France team so strong as the 98 team was), maybe a surprise from a south American team (Argentina ?) ...Iam rather frightend for England or Germany for this WCup... at least it's a brain analize which says it but we, players of SPWAW, know well that best analyze may collapse on the (green) field... And yes i don't remeber well but i think it was Smolarek (was eleven years old boy in 86) ...
all that to loose 4-0 against Brasil ...
Oh and Richard : We already were at the 3rd place two times, so U r kind to let us the 3rd place but we'll prefer... the only good place of the WCup : The First... Hej also good luck to our trans-baltic (Swedish) neigbours : it will not be easy but i trust u can go out of this group.
Polska Polska I jeszcze jeden I jeszcze Raz...... zbliza sie do bramki.... i... GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLL !!!!!! 3-0 !!!

Well, Portugal is the 2nd older country in Europe, we are independant since the beginning of the XII century. If you take into consideration that there was only 60 years (1580-1640) we lost our independence to Spain because our king die being the descendant a spanish (in 1640 we had a popular revolution against the spanish and expeled them) that every attempt Spain made in history for invasion was violently repeled; that we have a different language and a very strong national identity; very hardly one can consider that Portugal and Spain have a mixed history.

Right, Poland always have been very tough in the final phase. Portugal have a third place too in the 1966 Cup in England, with Eusébio's fab team and everybody said we deserved to win. OK then, I wouldn't mind if we go both to the finals

And guess what? They'll meet again in the preliminaries. So we'll know who will win the trophy quite early on. The remaining countries may compete for second place - sorry... Regards, Lars

Yes, Belgium always have been very competitive in the final stages. For me you created a school in the time of Eric Gerets when Belgium was the best team in line defense. You had also the best goal-keeper ever to play at Benfica: Michel Preud'homme. Good luck!

Enough is enough, Lars. Four times is too much coincidence, five - impossible, sorry . BTW: does any of the Laudrup brothers still play? Good luck to Denmark. [ December 02, 2001: Message edited by: RichardTheFirst ]

well, RichardTheFirst, what i wanted to mean (but sorry for my poor English) is that Portugal an Spain have a history which is linked to each other, as neighbours each country was aware of the other and have to compose with the other one actions... so if u look my comparaison with Poland and CCCP (ok ok Russia....) was not so bad : Polish independence gained first in 1024 (yes in XIth century for those who always thinked that Poland appeared by magic on European map after the WWI in 1919...) we were invaded a lot of times (not counting by Prussia - Germany, Mongols and even those good old Vikings...) diseaperring even from the map during 125 years and have each time refused the occupation with the last one ended in nintees with the depart of Red Army from our country... and still a strong national idendity.. To all others : Ok, ok i will stop to boring u with history , but u know what it is beetween that good old Europeans

Well, I do think it is Denmark's turn to win. Both against France and the champoinship Neither Laudrup are active any more. But Laudrup the Elder (Michael) is the assistant coach for the national team. And good luck to Portugal as well! Regards, Lars

Coming back to history (sorry guys), I didn't know Poland was independant since the XI century, I knew it was old though. Very intersting. And I would like to correct the information I gave: Portugal is not the 2nd older country, we have the 2nd older unchanged borders, after England (my appologies). All: Football is really a passion isn't it? I mean here we are all, each pushing for his country, but with a common language. Here goes the argument that football divides people...
