Not expecting to see his World Cup level of commitment and effort tomorrow night then SS??

You must have made the most of the 70p scoops, as you seem to have totally missed Lee's last to first in heat 6!!

Why have 3 different heat formulae? Wimbledon's track is too small and narrow for such meetings. The Yanks can barely muster a 5 man team, nevermind 7. This also creates a closed shop, just like the GP's.

The problem with making it a team event is that apert from the top 5 nations the other sides will be even less competitive than they are now. I agree with you in principal, but it just wouldn't work in reality. Who's going to watch Poland spank Germany or Sweden v Hungary for example? I do agree that the tournament shouldn't be every year. Bi-annualy or even every four years would add much more prestige to the tournament, and even Tony Rickardsson might try in it then!

I wonder if 'gating tart' Rico's last to first in heat 6 made it's way onto the tele's of Beowulf, Steve Brum, Lupus, Steve Hone, Shazzybird, Shooting Star et al???

TRick was a disgrace last night, it's not the first time he's shown his contempt for the World Cup, his team mates and country. I'm sure there won't be 3 last places flying about in the GP next week?...i'm so glad he doesn't ride for any team i support with his 70% and stuff you lot attitude!

Girls and sport..eh? Two posts of complete drivel....3rd place would not have been brilliant it's cr*p, we're not good enough. And as for the old "can you do better" chesnut

Britain at 10's is far too short!

Thought that was the dullest race-off yet, the Thursday is normally the highlight of the tournament, but that was pretty dreary fayre last night with nobody watching it either. I'm even more convinced that GB will struggle tomorrow now as the track didn't produce a great deal of passing.

Obviously not as tough as Rico!

No sign of a "TRick, man or animal" thread yet though

Doesn't make it right though, in my opinion

Yep, and that was daft too!

No not sniping, just an opinion. The fact it differs from yours isn't a basis for calling me a clown. Maybe they'll teach you that in 'big school' next term?

I've got the Aussies to dip out in Thursday's race off too. I've had a wee tickle on the Poles for the final and a saver on the Danes at a massive 13/2 with Skybet.

Marvyn Cox was 'German' champion, he also wore the German flag in a World Final! This dodgy 'dual nationality' really does make sport look daft, and it's not just speedway either. There have been numerous footballers over the years who have played friendlies or junior levels for one nation and full competitive internationals for another. It's daft, Play/ride for where you or your parents were born and be done with it, although ideally it would be nation of birth only, but that would scupper riders like Mark Loram as Malta haven't got much of a speedway team!

Good to see the World Cup winners Ruud Boy and Iron Man making hay and furthering their quests for yet more glory

Is it a bird, is it a plane?, no it's Grachan's humour flying yards over Eastie's head!

Yep, although you've ignored my other post which actually puts Stead in the team!

Girls and sport

Obviously you know them well enough to decide you don't like them!

The difference is that they both have proven records at Blunsdon and usually score very well there, although they did 'punch above their weight' last night. Blooding one of them in Poland is ok, both is a big gamble. My team for the final would be: Nicholls Richardson Loram Norris Stead

Loram for Screen is a no brainer, Also not sure that both Harris and Stead are a good idea in Poland, despite both riding excellently tonight

Anyone want to point out how daft Middlo looked leaping around after Rico passed Nicki P with his throttle off and thereby allowed the Danes to play their joker? Keep up Middlo, it could cost ue one day!

Mainly beacuse he's crap around Blunsdon i guess.
