Well, I must admit England's route has been interesting even after just 2 matches. A win against nigeria will see us almost undoubtedly top the group and this will mean we play senegal. If not and we qualify is second through a draw we will play denmark. To me it seems we can smell the semi finals!! I personally am very excited and can c england going far. All the big teams r shite atm...argentina,france,italy....i feel the only real threat is brazil. i am in confident mood. how do u think we will do??

Well if we qualify, we will play senegal or denmark, depending on if we come top of our group, if we win that game we will play either japan/russia/costa rica or turkey, pretty good odds id say... then its the semis so

The semi line up looks nothing like that, More like Brazil and Argentina !

so you are makin that comment based on one match, where we won by a penalty lol

I reckon this could be our year lads.

All the major teams have shown defensive weaknesses this year, with the exception of Argentina, whose defence has proven a tough one to bust on both occasions in what is definitely the hardest group.

Defensive weaknesses:

The spanish have conceded two goals, one to Slovenia and the other to Paraguay. Not brilliant.

Denmark conceded a goal to Uruguay and a goal to Senegal.
Not brilliant.

Brazil laced China, but should rightfully have lost against Turkey, if it weren't for Rivaldo being such a girl's blouse. They only just managed to beat the Turks with a penalty, and even Costa Rica drew with the turks.

Germany like Argentina look our strongest problems, but they suffered a lot of yellow cards today, which will leave holes in their side in coming games. The Irish also gave them a tough second half.

Italy were beaten by Crotia. Admittedly Croatia are one of the best teams in Europe, but Crotia need a win tommorow to go through, and have themselves demonstrated problems losing to Mexico.



As you can, these teams have problems. England has only conceded one goal in two games against very good sides. We laced the Swedish in the first half, and the second half was down to laziness IMO. The Argies had us pinned back for 30 minutes, but in all that time they barely got two shots on target. Both these sides have had trouble getting through our defence.

I think we have a chance! For England!!!
