World Cup 2006

[waggy]

was in liverpool on saturday with a few england pals,we were argueing about the pro's and con's off the club called ENGLANDFANS.i reckon it's a rip off,£70 to join and then you must gain caps to obtian tickets.

in november ENGLAND play ARGENTINA,not in buenos aries or london but in bloody GENEVA,i was told 10k england fans had applied for tickets to get there caps.england played denmark in another friendly 1 game into the season.

i said they would be better pooling the money they had spent,at least £600 to buying tickets off a tout in germany.some games the english fa will have as little as 4k tickets,which go to the top 70% cappers and the other 30% go in a lottery.SCANDALOUS I SAY

taking about carrying bags I saw an interview with rooney after the eng match on wed SSN. Times surely are not hard for him but he seemed to be carrying his belongings in a black bin bag !!! Made me chuckle I used to have my kit in Asda carrier bags but not a top pro player. Did anybody else see this ?? Or had I had one too many sherberts ?

Waggy is it you that says England are always home from Tournaments before you are, if so you'd best have at least a fianls ticket

[waggy]

only got tickets too the quarter finals,that will do

[1864roverite]

I am going back out to Germany in February were I will stay for 3 days. Then I have a short stay in Holland - all work I must add.

In March there is a possibloe visit to South America ( again work related) and I would not mind a piece of that.

Still, the plan is for a 3 month stay in Germany/Holland. the snag is the 4-5 weeks pre World Cup, working away like a beaver and then having to suffer the agony ofthe WC at the tax payers expense !!!!

managed to get a room for 45 euros per night,so bargians are still to be had

Draw Made For the Finals

[waggy]

BOOKED MY FLIGHTS FOR THE 2 GROUP GAMES,nearly £300 for me and junior for the 1st game in frankfurt,but got the sweden one for only £90 for me only

[waggy]

fantastic group for england fans as trinadad and paraguay will not have thousands off fans,and there should be more tickets for england fans.

[Will]

Just booked all my flights ! cost me £280 in total !

Get back from germany on the 21st, then go back for 2 weeks on the 24th !

I know the experience will be amazing but those ticket prices are too much.

[waggy]

might sound expensive,but i have been saving in my germany 2006 fund for nearly 4 years.germany is not a place to spend a month saw,i have decided to fly in and out,will miss the trinadad game i think the flights are reasonable for direct flights to germany.the major players ba and lufthansa prices were extortionate

[SAS]

i was looking at flights last night, as my dad just wants to go over for the weekend when we play paraguay, got reasonable prices, hopefully be booking them soon

[bellamy11]

Mexico Vs Portugal. That'll do me. I knew I was destined to see the Mexicans. Plus, according to The Simpsons, these are the two superpowers of world football.

Working on my itinnerary right now. The second England match falls right between the 2 first 2 US matches, and would give us enough time to go see all 3. Wondering if anyone going to the England match on the 15th in Nuremberg would be interested in splitting a hotel room with Mrs. American and myself on the nights of the 14th and 15th. (Not positive that is the plan yet, just looking at options.)

[waggy]

would she show her wonderfull front pair off

[American]

Somehow I knew someone would make a comment like that.

No.

booked flights

sorted accomodation

£136 for flight, via italy

20 euro for hostel night

9-11june rock on

[waggy]

there seems a few cheap flights going via other countries,but you can't beat direct flights,the problem with changing flights is delays sometimes make you miss the connextions

[The1mattjansen]

From the draw it turns out we have got tickets for Trinidad v Sweden and USA v Czech.

I haven't bothered with accomodation or flights yet, im still thinking about getting a mini bus.

Either way, I don't mind stopping out of town anyway, and I'm sure there will always be accomodation somewere. How are people getting alogn booking flights?

[SuperStella]

Flight details for Liverpool --> Cologne not available yet!

Found a flight from Luton --> Dortmund for £82 return, incl tax and insurance.

going there we have a 5hour wait, which is a bit annoying

coming back we have a 12 hour wait but hopefully we can have a look around milan and go on a tour of the san siro
