so if we lose tonight, is that it - THE END. totally over and we have to come back home?

What happens if we draw? or only lose by one goal.. or win by one goal

thanks



I would ask the other half but he's a nervous wreck as it is and it's not even 6pm!

If they lose then they will be sent home. If they draw it will depend on how the other teams in the group do.

If we lose, we have 1 game left with Costa Rica and Italy having 2, all they need is a draw in there last 2 games and we are out, we can only qualify on goal difference but that is a very slim chance.

If its a draw we're still in it

If we lose then yes it would probably be over, however a draw still leaves us a chance to go through if we then go on to beat Costa rica. To be honest a lot will also depend on what happens between Italy and Costa rica's game.

I know but there are full of footballing people which is why I'm on here

Is it compulsory to come back home? That seems very harsh. I thought they'd let you stay and watch the rest of the games.

There is a joke going round that there is a plane waiting on the tarmac to take the England players home. I really want them to win, Rooney might even score a goal me hopes.

I imagine it is not compulsory but they often do it because the players are disappointed and fans back home will be annoyed so it doesn't look right to be partying and having a good time afterwards i think.

But if we lose why do we still have to play next Tuesday? seems a bit cruel...

Ah yes, fair enough. I suppose they could do a raffle for the now empty hotel rooms couldn't they - give the money to charity or something.

England lose and Costa Rica and Italy draw - England out
England lose and Costa Rica beat Italy - England out
England lose and Italy beat Costa Rica - England can still qualify if they beat Costa Rica and Italy beat Uruguay but they'd need a good win (i.e. by a few goals)

If England draw, they go through if they beat Costa Rica and
a) Italy also beat Costa Rica and Uruguay
b) Italy beat Costa Rica and draw against Uruguay
c) Italy beat Costa Rica and lose against Uruguay by only one goal
d) Costa Rica beat Italy and Uruguay also beat Italy but by only one goal

I may be wrong with one or two permutations. I may have missed one or more out. What can I say? I'm just trying to help .

If they lose tonight, they are pretty much out because even if they win the 3rd game, depending on how the rest do, they will be out anyway. The other games will still rate well, but they may dip due to England being knocked out if that's the case.

AFAIK even if England lose tonight they're not definitely eliminated yet...but they would need other results in the group to go their way plus a win in the final game to scrape through.

he's currently perched on the very edge of the sofa... all I did was start rubbing his back and he just jolted like a scalded cat and swore at me!

Apparently that DID.NOT.HELP.


Oh, where is the rolls eyes icon when you really need it! I think I'll go and do some shopping, might be nice and quiet

thanks for the replies.

If England lose, Italy fail to win and Pauline gets evicted will Helen's pass to the final be revoked?
