I am absolutely desperate for this to start. I need something to supplement my summer job and boredom.
I think that England will do what we always do; I do bolieve we could make it out of the group stages but then lose at the quarter-final stage. I think we could make it to the quarter-finals as we have a young squad who may not possess a sense of fear like the older players do. Our experienced players like; Gerrard, Lampard and Rooney have had the expectation of England fans on their shoulders for over a decade and have constantly let the pressure get to them. In my opinion players like; Sterling, Barkley, Lallana and Wilshere should start ahead of the old guard as they may feel less pressure.
I think that Daniel Sturridge is the key to our progression out of the group stages. Sturridge has had a fantastic season for Liverpool and I don't think the pressure will get to him due to his personality type. Players like Rooney and Lampard will appear fairly modest and play down our chances; Sturridge however is confident in his own ability and has said for years that he should lead England's attack. Rooney does not even deserve a start.
US got so royally fucked in the draw.
Oh and then Landon Donovan got royally fucked by Klinsmann.
not feeling too optimistic about the good ol US of A in this tourney. Pretty much guaranteeing we won't make it past group stage.
Yeah dude you guys are really stuck in a group of death. I honestly can't see the US accumulating a single point against those three beasts (Germany, Portugal, Ghana).
I think Germany or Brazil will win this year, leaning more towards Brazil based on their current form and lack of a need for climate adaptation.
