We've got a local derby against Poland.

[Hughesy]

Can anyone tell me how tickets for Brazil 2014 work? Would I be in a better position to get some if I attended some of the qualifiers and joined the club England member thingy??

[Robbo]

NOT a good draw for Scotland

No, and I think that Belgium is looking far better than they're rank suggests. They've had a strong defence, but now with Fellaini, Hazard and Lukaku, I could see Belgium making a serious run in the World Cup.

You would have been better off joining a few years ago Hughesy. I was in englandfans in the build up to euro2008 and didn't renew after we didn't qualify.

The problem is that you will struggle to get a ticket for an away game with England as there are more members than tickets so tickets go to fans with the most caps. Doing home qualifiers and friendlies only won't guarantee you a single ticket for the world cup.

You probably have a better chance of just waiting until the world cup tickets go on general sale and applying directly.

I did this for euro 2004. Chose games before the teams had even qualified and ended up with England v France and Germany v Holland for £20 per ticket.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I agree with Ricky. I did exactly what you said Hughesy and got zero tickets for major games for the Euro tournaments and the World Cup in Germany.

There are so many people who buy England away tickets just to earn extra 'caps', even if they don't actually attend the game, so unless you spend ridiculous amounts of money, you'll have hardly any chance of getting guaranteed tickets.

Just apply when they go on sale to the general public.

He could ask Venky's man in Brazil.

I have zero interest in this. We'll qualify as we should and then be subject to the press talking about how it's our year and see little flags on cars for a week or two before going out meekly to a much better side.

No doubt I'll get suckered into the hype at some stage though

LMAO, you are so spot on with this Tom!

The draw must be payback for losing the bid!!!! I mean, how easy is it? And isn't Poland a mandatory fixture now LOL

As for England, we'll get to the quarters until we are brought down to earth by a team that can pass the ball and keep it.

Scotland and Wales are also doomed. Belgium will top that Group.

I know, right? Does anyone really care anymore?

Barring a disaster, the qualifiers are just a formality before another summer of unbridled hype and '66 nostalgia.

They should be a formality yet a huge deal will be made when we do get through

The last world cup just did me I think, all the build up all the hype and then that.

watching england will be like watching rovers this season, all huff and no puff only england actually have some talented players. Oh and some deluded fans who think the team will do well.
