Most, but not Rooney. And Owen isn't what he used to be, nor is Beckham.
If only they where the only 3 players we had I would agree with you, You seem to have forgotten about Lampard, Terry, Gerard, Joe Cole, Rio Ferdinand, All on there day as good as anybody in the world (bar a couple maybe).
![[:/] [:/]](/uploads/emoticons/dry.png)
Owen, still better than most in the world in front of goal. Beckham can still pick out a pin in the goal area from 50 yards and Rooney, Well we will just have to wait and see.

If you know your football you will know that we put out Argentina in the last world cup and beat them recently in a "Friendly" and will probably have to put them out in the quarters



Just Like That


As for Italy, Don't get me wrong(not a bad team), but first they have to get out of there group (not an easy task with Czech's and USA), I think you will get through that just, at the expense of the USA. But then you are going to need to get past Brazil (


If you manage that you make our job easier when we then knock you out in the Semi's

Good luck and may the best (England) team win

Agree with you and the Czech's about the USA they may make history could be a surprise they had play very good and their soccer has advance in the past years. but they are missin that "no se que" that spicy element that makes soccer a great sport, you can only pick it up with football tradition, Italy has a lot, you know that kind of football you pick up playing all the time since you were a kid, really don't know how to explain myself better some of you may know what I'm talking about.

I remember 2002, I was just trying to poke fun at your fierce rivalry and stir the pot a bit. I didn't know that you beat Argentina in a friendly recently though. That's impressive.

USA? We're not playing the USA ladies team. And Freddy Adu isn't in the mix yet. Therefore, USA isn't much of a threat. Ghana is way more of a threat in the group than USA is. Agreed, Czech Rep. will be a very tough team to beat. I call a 0-0 tie, or 1-1 if any blood is shed at all, which I doubt. I can guarantee you there isn't going to be a drubbing on either side of that match.
As far as your group goes, you got lucky. I don't think England will have much of a problem with Trinidad or Paraguay. I do look forward to your match against Sweden.
Good luck and may the best (
EnglandITALIA ) team win

Yeah..... that arrogance cost them the cup against France 2 world cups ago, worst game I have ever seen, I think they learned their lesson, still my favorite.

I actually think Owen is going to shock. Consider the poor fuckers hardly played football after his move to Real and hes been pretty much on form at Newcastle.
With a player like Gerrard who can slot perfect low balls to him i think his pace will leave defenders behind and he has got a deadly finish when hes in form. Going to Spain fucked hs career up, lets hope he proves he's still a world class English player

Is it just me or the English and German players seemed a little old on average than the other teams
http://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html
I believe Germany has a very young team and Englands midfield is pretty average in age. On our back line we have grandad Sol Cambel but i'd say that most players are in there early to mid 20's in the English team

Group C looks like the group of death. The rest are fairly predictable.
A: Germany, Poland
B: England, Sweden
C: Argentina, Netherlands (but could just as easily be Serbia & Montenegro)
D: Portugal, Mexico
E: Italy, Czech Republic
F: Brazil, Croatia
G: France, Switzerland
H: Ukraine, Spain
Possible surprises: Paraguay, Cote d'Ivoire, Angola, Ghana, Korea.
Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

I agree with all bar 1. Group G. South Korea over Switzerland.

I'm a staunch Portugal supporter but realistically I think the 'golden team' is getting a bit old..
I actually think the US might surprise (as much as I dislike them for beating Portugal in '02) because they play a very technical game..
The South American teams are always good to watch because they have such beautiful skill.
I hope one of the Asian teams surprise.. it'll be awesome for Asian football..
But we'll see, world cup is always full of surprises.. I'm excited.. I'm going to Germany for some of the final games!!!!!!!!

True, pretty much any of the European teams (with the exception of Switzerland) can really shake things up. I think Czech Republic and Ukraine especially are two teams to watch out for. S. Korea always puts up a good fight too and who knows, maybe they'll make the quarter finals legitimately this time around...

I can appreciate your optimism, but England doesn't stand a chance against teams like Brazil and
