    As long as we don't meet Germany in the next round we could go far. If we meet Germany i worry about penalties!!

    If Defoe could turn out to be the Michael Owen goalscorer we need, we can give ourselves a good chance

    Spain have a ridiculously good strike force and midfield and are clear favourites


    England will bottle it in the quarters/semis wherever we come up against a big team as usual

    I agree, Spain are clear favourites, since winning the Euros they've gained so much belief, if we met them along the way they'd rip us to shreds with their passing & movement. We'd just have to rely on our physical advantage, park the bus & hopefully get a couple at set-pieces. The expectation from fans & media will be a big burden & like you say we'll bottle it in the quarters/semis.

    Our midfield and strikers are as good as any team in the world cup.
    Our back five are average.
    The world's best will make them look very, very average.

    Only way we have a chance of winning is to play every game at premiership pace, not to let opponents have time on the ball and not to play down the middle all the time. The best teams in the world are far more prepared for that and for the long ball lobbed up front, than they are for crosses from the wing. We need players who can skip down the wing and bang crosses in all day. For that very reason, a certain Mr Joe Cole might be our most important player at the finals. Nobody doubts the ability of Rooney, Crouch and Defoe to score goals, but unless a striker gets the delivery he needs, we may as well play a wheelie bin up front.
    We have a chance of winning if we play a fast nasty premiership type game and get as many crosses in as we can. Deflections, own goals, a goal off Rooneys backside, penalties, they all count, it don't have to be pretty to win.
    I do know this much though, when it gets to knockout stages and a game enters the extra 30 minutes after the 90 minute draw, I'll be placing money on the England to lose via penalties option.

    I dont think England will win it this time, I KNOW England will win it this time, im normally pesimistic and say we will reach the semi's or something but i think this time is our time to shine, great team + great manager + great support = one very nice shiny world cup trophy =)
