Welcome
Welcome to the World Cup 2006 blog of an England fan. Having set up a website (www.2006-worldcup.biz seeing as you asked) to provide information for supporters planning to travel to Germany for the World Cup next summer, I though it only fair to give an insight into the ordeals that football supporters go through leading up to a tournament.
Having made harder work of qualifying that we should have done, England finally topped Group 6 ahead of Poland who also qualified. Several England fans have been less than satisfied with the performance of the manager and many of the players. The strange tactics and player selection coupled with endless inept performances going back nearly 4 years have severly tested the limits of many fans with some simply refusing to attend home friendly matches.
The final qualifier against Poland was probably England's best performance for over a year, in fact I'm struggling to think of the last time the team played so well....possible the 0-0 draw in Turkey to qualify for Euro 2004. Now we will have 5 or 6 friendlies in preparation for the finals in Germany. The first game is against old rivals, Argentina, in Geneva on Saturday 12th November. As ever, England will take a large following with over 7,000 official tickets sold and many, many more in other parts of the stadium.
Hopefully, both teams will treat the game seriously and we'll witness a great game between two of the favourites to win the World Cup next summer. For those of you who don't know, England away matches are a great social event, it's not just a football match. The group of lads I meet up with come from Sunderland, London, North West, Midlands and other places. Flights and hotels are always booked up as soon as a fixture is rumoured, never mind confirmed. So we're all set for the trip to Geneva. Flying in on Friday evening for 2 nights in the Swiss city before heading home again on Sunday morning. Thankfully for once, an away match means that we don't need to book time off work.
Next update will be when the squad for the game is announced. Check back to read the reaction

Actually, Montbrillant is the original base for Breitling Watch making. Continuing the excellent tradition of Navitimer series, Navitimer Watches is also characterized by the integral slide rule. Innovatively, a date window has been found between 4 o'clock and 5 o'clock. Montbrillant Datora feature can not be frequently seen on other watches of the same series. The obvious feature of Breitling Avenger refers to the four-chronograph dial. Each one has the unique function for exact time display.
The Coach Purses is in sync with the latest in fashion. Care is taken to manufacture Coach Legacy in sync with the latest market trends and although the shapes and sizes remain more or less the same, the necessary changes which are required to fine tune Coach Luggage in accordance to the latest fashion expectations are executed from time to time. So here, you can have Coach Madison which is both chic and stylish.
When it comes to placing data onto a CD or BECKER
, we often will look for ways in which to clearly label BECKER DVD so the information which it contains is easily identifiable. When these discs are used for private, home use we will often be content with simply writing on the disc itself or making a rough label of some kind. However, when it comes to requiring these discs for our business-especially when we are looking to create multiple BECKER DVD COLLECTION duplications, the ways in which these discs are labeled is crucial.
