yes we had players missing from the 4-nil game 8) we have 6 points now 8) looks like world cup comming soon 8) revenge on italy :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :shock:






winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

One would hope that FIFA could see the sense in organising their 8 groups on a geographical basis, with a bit of leeway regarding ground capacity.

An English-hosted World Cup could thus shape up:

Group A : Old Trafford and Eastlands
Group B: St. James & Stadium of Light
Group C: Anfield (new) and Goodison (new)
Group D: Two of City Ground/Pride Park/Walkers Stadium
Group E: Two of Elland Road/Hillsborough/Bramall Lane
Group F: Villa Park and one of St Andrews/Molineux/Ricoh etc
Group G: Wembley and Emirates
Group H: somewhere in the South :D

This covers everywhere geographically apart from the non-London South and the South-West. So, rather scuppering my regional-based focus, I'd split hairs and suggest Southampton and the Millennium for 'Group H'...

Rival codes help Australia's 2018 Football World Cup bid
:lol: THE NRL will allow soccer first access to its venues in a bid to help the rival code win the 2018 FIFA World Cup for Australia.
Officials from rugby league, union and the AFL have offered their support as a friendly gesture to soccer to help the nation snare what many regard to be the biggest sporting event on earth.

The World Cup finals are traditionally held from June to July - right in the middle of the NRL and AFL seasons.

You can cross a few of those from your list.

You can't have three London grounds, so one of the Emirates / White Hart Lane would have to go.

Elland Road and Hilssbrough still have resrticted view seats, so that won't happen unless there is some serious redevelopment (and given the financial situation of the two, that's unlikely).

That can't be right

Wembley - 90,000
Emirates - 60,000
Old Trafford - 76,000

That matches the 3 60k plus stadiums that Germany had.

Stanley Park - 60,000
St James Park - 55.000
Stadium Of Light - 49,000
Villa Park - 42,000

That's 7 of your 12. The following stadiums wouldn't need a massive amount of rebuilding....

Riverside - Currently 35,000
Britannia Stadium - Currently 28,000
St Mary's - Currently 32,000
Bramall Lane - Currently 33,500

Then you have your loop hole stadiums....

COM - 48,000 (Available if OT can be classed as Salford)
Everton's new stadium (If in Kirkby))

Then the potentials.....

Don Valley - Currently 25,000 but with a hell of a lot of room for expansion)
Elland Road - Currently 40,000 but in need of modernisation
Millennium Stadium - 80,000 (not sure if this would be allowed)
Any of the 3 Glasgow stadiums (Again not sure if this would be allowed
Croke Park (Same as).

That's 11 stadiums in this country without a massive amount of upheaval.

Union is played by people who close airports after a bit of snow, League is played by people who would go and have a snowball fight with a 747
