Good bet; England has got one of the best sides I've ever seen this year. They've got a mix of youthful talent and energy (Theo Willcott, Crouch), some skilled normals (Wayne Rooney, Joe Cole) and some of the best veterans (David Beckham, Gary Neville). Brazil is slowly becoming old, as is obvious from aging players such as Edu, Ronaldhino and Ronaldo, France will rely on the old hero Thierry Henry and subseqently fail.

The final?

Germany versus England.

England versus Brazil._______________________________________Germany versus Portugal.

That sounds like quite a nice mix there Griff. I've put money on England this year, but after watching the game against Paraguay I'm not so sure; mainly because Sven makes the worst subistitutions ever. After we brought Owen off we just sat deeper and deeper because there was no real threat or target at the front.

Also, why bring on Hargreaves and Downing? Theo Walcott is a STRIKER!!! Why have Joe Cole and Gerrard playing his role? What the was up with that? Damn stupid in my opinion.

Yes as has been said, England WILL win the World Cup this year, it's not even up for debate, it is fact. USA won't make it past the group stage though, Czech Republic and Italy will go through from that group. Sweden and England from the English group and I fancy Gernany and Ecuador from that group

GO ENGLAND!

England will not win, beckhams goal was pure luck. If it wasnt for the paraguan to head it in that would not have even been a goal and england would not have won. If they can barely beat paraguay what makes anyone think they have a chance beating brazil or argentina. England have one good player that is currently playing, that will not bring them the title. US has a better chance of winning than england, lmao. Portugal has a good chance of winning as well.

I wish for once i could support England, but the fact is, I cannot bear to live through the torment the English WILL do to the rest of the UK if that win, Therefore, which ever team plays England I will support

And if you DARE say the English wouldn't booste for the next 40 years, look at what they have done for the last 40 years, As far as i'm concerned i support 2 internation teams

Wales, Who missed out

And

WETIPE, What ever team is playing England

And if anyone asks why, they only have to look at the British papers today, and there is all the reason i need, never mind the weeks of random C list celebraties saying England will win`

Personally, I support la France. Seriously. Well, I am half french.

(one good American player, the goalie Friedal. Otherwise absolutely rubbish team);

What i just reed it could be anyones year this year but considering Germany is playing on ther own playing field i would pick Germany, but then again griff gave me a idea of brittish soccer and then i thought it could be Germany vrs. Britain but im a little rusty when it comes to soccer so if you ask me any one can win just like what happened with T&T vrs. Sweeden or the Poland game. So i don't have a honest preddiction yet honestly

Dogg: Rooney, Lampard, Beckham, Owen, Gerrard, Terry and Joe Cole all made it into FIFA World Football Awards nominations, so I fail to see how that is just one good player

This year the squad has some real depth, although I do feel that they need Rooney out there because there was no penetration at all up front, especially after they took Owen off. I think we need to use Walcott and Lennon because they have pace on the ball and are exciting when they go forward, but we should have taken Defoe, it was just stupid not to.

USA have little chance of winning the World Cup, both the Czech and Italians have better sides than USA do and I'd be very suprised if USA finished above 3rd in their group.

I'd have liked to have seen the Welsh qualify though, they're another exciting team going forward, it was a shame they didn't.
