It will be a bit boring compared to normal WC's as there will so many teams and games people will lose interest.

I think the only reason this has been done is to ensure it will be impossible for any of the 'big' Footballing nations to miss out, as per Italy, Holland and USA this time. :roll:

Obviously, there is a severe case of sleep deprivation affecting most of you as, if you read my post again, you will notice the word 'big' is in parentheses (speech marks to the illiterate amongst you) which indicates the word is not a statement of fact but a suggestion.

Too much coffee is affecting your ability to concentrate. :lol:

At least I comment rather than simply bagging everything I don't agree with - how about a bit of positive observation for a change?

That sounds like you're bagging someone, try and be more positive.

Quite correct and I sincerely apologise for my mistake - I too must be sleep deprived. :oops:

However, that does not affect the point of the argument I put forward.
