Not much luck for the four City fans playing in the tournament, as though being a City fan isn't bad luck enough. The three in the Welsh squad are the only ones not to get on the pitch yet, mainly through injury, while the one in the England team missed a vital penalty in the shoot-out as England went out to Germany in the quarter finals, having been 2-0 up with less than three minutes to go.
Top twelve is good it seems to me, top ten would be great, but, whereas I can't say I've heard of the French hockey team, I think I'm right in saying that Argentina have been fairly regular participants in World Cup
tournaments and Olympics, so I'd guess we'd be pretty big underdogs in that game.

Memories of 1970 World Quarter Finals there for England.
