We have a good chance if we play to the same tempo as yesterday and get a bit of luck.

Well im English, i will always support my nation to win a tournament.

The win against Argentina has only consolidated my beliefs. We have a great squad, arguably the greatest midfield in the world.

Beckham - As much as you slate him, he delivers. He is the best crossers/ free kick taker in the world, by far and nobody in there right mind can dispute that.

Gerrard - Has guided Liverpool to winning the Champions League, almost single handedly at times. Great shot, passing range and stamina.

Lampard - Top scorer this season and can score for fun, not afraid to get stuck in and again is a great passer and attacking midfielder.

Then we have players on the fringe of becoming world class.

Joe Cole
Jermaine Jenas
Keiron Dyer
Ledley King

Match that with the best defence in the world when fully fit and i personallty think semi-finals would be the least we should get out of the world cup.

I think we should play 3-5-2 though.

Robinson
Terry Ferdinand Campbell

King
Beckham Cole
Gerrard Lampard
Owen Rooney

I would love us to win, but just don't see it somehow. We do have some great players, but we're certainly not alone in that.

Quite frankly, no. Although we do have the skill to produce a good perfomance such as the one against Argentina, we are not consistent enough to beat quality teams like France, Brazil, Italy Spain etc. time and time again without fail. Sven will always slip up by the Quarters, Semis max.

I'd like to think that we have a chance, but realistically, with the likes of Rooney on the team who, granted can score goals, but can hardly keep they're temper, there's going to need to be a lot of luck on our side if we're to win.

However, I hope, and expect, that we should hopefully get to the knockout stages!

(If anything I've said is absolutely stupid, don't mind me I'm not really clued up with how the stages work in footie! Shame on me!

I'm just hoping Wayne Rooney can control himself during the world cup, we all know that if he stays out of trouble on the pitch he will be one of the stars throughout the tournament.

That's the thing - He's talented... but he knows it! In his mind he probs thinks that he can get away with anything because people seem to think he's super-human. IMO he needs to be brought down with a bump!

Brazil worry me the most.

Robinho, Ronaldo, Ronaldinio and Kaka will be most probably be their attacking players on the pitch.

You missed out Adriano

They will likely win, especially as Holland have the group of death as well
