Good thing too, Sky aint worth it. They charge what, £25 a month for all 3 sky sports channels?

Only England games they have that are worth watching are qualifiers that the BBC doesnt have, but then its just a qualifier.

Only football worth paying for is a one-off fee for EPL games with premplus.

my two big sports are football and boxing so I pay an American streaming site $3 a month and I get all the Premiership games and all the big US fights.

It's not quite the same as watching it on TV but its a damn site cheaper and I'm mostly too drunk to care (esp watching the yank boxing at 4am on a Sunday moring!)

Yep .

US should be up 3-0. Awful finishing by the Americans. But T&T have gotten a red card by bringing down Donovan by the collar as he was on a breakaway.

Holy ****! This ref in the US/T&T game is horribly biased against the US. It's amazing how horrid he is. We had an onside goal disallowed for offsides and I don't think we've had a call for us yet. 1-0 US still.

Though we should be up 5-0. Awful finishing and awful refeering leads to a close game that shouldn't have been.

Whats to discuss? If the USA make it or not, i wont be that surprised either way.

While we all know if England dont make it, itll be the worst WC EVER! Theyll wheel out Diana Ross to cheer us up, but it wont work

i can't believe that clinton morrison is going to norwich, i'm amazed none of the three promoted teams, or the likes of pompey and fulham came in for him. a decent striker who'll chip in with a few goals for £2 million, you wouldn't think he'd be short of offers

Well after their Match with Trinidad and Tobago, Diana Ross has been promoted to the USA bench - in case one of the games goes to penalties...

Maq, you wouldn't be surprised if the US didn't make it?! What? That'd be like saying you wouldn't be surprised if Mexico or South Korea didn't make the World Cup. Especially since there are now 3 spots for CONCACAF.

And England has missed out before. No one really cared outside your small island .

Imran,

Everyone knows that any world cup without England in it is a sham tournament and that the winners of it will never be truly recognized as World Champions.

Couldn't agree more Reds!!!

I would make one minor change though, let's see if it works, shall we:

Yeah, much better!

The original is clearly false, so alva wins.

They should run the tournament once every four years and the winners get the right to play England for the 'proper' World Cup.

They could call it the "World Cup final eliminator" tournament.

I think "surprised" was the wrong word, "give a ****" was maybe what i meant.

And I was speaking more from the view, "i dont know how the usa is doing in their qualifying, but it wouldnt surprise me either way if they qualified or not".
