Nothing more fun than making a prediction based on nothing more than a hunch.

I also predict that Rooney will get sent off in the match versus Portugal and will become a bogeyman for the next two years in England.

Failing that Beckham or Ronney or Joe Cole will get injured so that the English yet again have something to blame for their failure to advance.

(Despite the criticism I am supporting England. But most of all I'd like to see a name that isn't Brazil, Argentina or Germany on the Cup for a change. Though, in the interests of good soccer, it is one of those three teams that deserves to be)

Poor Brits. And on top of that, callous German tabloids are making fun of them:

BECKS GETTING SICK OF ATTACKS

GERMAN tabloid Bild yesterday launched another attack on David Beckham.

The paper, which recently likened his sister to a pig, headlined shots of him vomiting in the win against Ecuador “David Brechham”—roughly translated as “David Pukeham.” In a series of jibes at the skipper and the England team, it asked: “Had he been drinking German beer? Can a Metrosexual male be pregnant? Did he find his wife's credit card bill? Or did the game itself make him sick?”

Or maybe he has just had a bellyfull of German journalists' humour...

Surely The Sun would never stoop so low! But the Brits will have their revenge when the Germans find out that they won't have any beer left in the finals:

BEER WE GO

Germans fear we're going to drink them dry

By Jeremy Armstrong

ENGLAND's massive army of World Cup fans is drinking Germany dry, it emerged yesterday.

Breweries warned beer could run out before the final because of huge demand from our supporters.

In Nuremberg, organisers revealed 70,000 England fans who flooded the city drank 1.2 MILLION pints of beer—an average of 17 pints each.

Astonished bar keeper Herrmann Murr said: “Never have I seen so many drink so much in such little time.”

Devious! Just devious!
