only the english actually think they have a chance of winning 
i would be very suprised if england got even as far as the semi's, so far they have shown absolutly nothing to convince me they have what it takes, dont get me wrong, not saying that england is a bad team, they arent, but however imo they arent more than avarage, so maybe a quater final spot, wich is my estimated guess,
teams that for me have seemed "scary" are Argentina and Spain.
personaly i'm rooting for sweden, since denmark..qq ect and so on, and also because i admire their attacking style of play, wich in many ways resembels denmarks including the "lack of goals" heh..

im welsh and tbh dont like england.. but tbh england IMO have the best all round team on paper.... even better than brazils squad throughout...
i know there performances so far aint been world cup winning form... but if they click i think england are gonna be a extremely hard team to beat... brazil played shite also 1st game... u saying only brazilian fans think brazil could win it?
saying that if we r going by performances as i said in this or another thread argentina.. spain and the chzechs are gonna be hard to beat.

ehm ? but thats just it, it's not only brazils fans that say that, personaly i dono about brazil, they played preaty avrage though out 2002 et they still won it, so cant say
thats just ho it is with brazil you can never count them out, as for england having the best allround team.. ? i'd have to dissagree, just becuase they have some of th most media exposed players dose not mean they have a great team, just because a player is famouse does not make hm a great player.my point really is that england time and time again resive more "papir space" and talk than they really deserve, and mate i'm hardly souly refering to the 2 last games for england, it's basicly over the last 4 years maybe more... but i guess it's ericsons fualt when they loose right ?
spain played well aye but cnt say there doin much special untill they play proper teams, basically every time ive seen them in major competion spain go all out and everygoes hmmm they could do it this year, then got knocked out mby this could be the year ^^.
now im just gonna be optimistic with the old the best teams play bad and still win saying and pray thats tru for england ^^, but can only beat whose put infront of u and england do seem to have a history of only turning up to the big games.
argies look gd aye but again i cnt rmb a team sweeping there way throu all there qualifiers then continuing like that mby my memory is abit hazy and only rmb things that back up my point but well Brazl 1998 storming throu tornament, there gonna win it nps got to final sum unluckyness with Ronaldo but they didnt turn up. mby argies just being flashy (only turned on at 3-0 but serbia didint both after that anyway) like alot of teams can be knock loads in look favourties then fall apart when it comes to it. End of the day 2 games 6 points cnt have done anymore, they dont count up the goals you have scored and how u played against crap teams when it comes to it.
or on the other hand argies arent peaking to early and england are fucked

on paper, brazil
by play so far, argentina
with atlantic reasoning, spain

I really hope England can do it, and me and my girlfriend think Sven is playing a tactical game of making us look shite in the first rounds and the whole team will step up a gear in the next rounds.
Or are we just trying to convince ourselves?
Having watched Argentina tho I think it is there time the way they play

brazil played shite again tonight IMO.... 2-0 scoreline wasnt deserved imo aussies pushed em close and imo deserved at least a draw,,
still argentina or spain for WC,, czechs may still have ashout if they can get through next round (appartly koller and baros be ok for knock out stages)
i thinking england and brazil will play a LOT better when they play quality sides.. i think the fear of being ko'd by a lesser team shits em up so they play v defensive... draws aint no good in knock out stages so the likes of england and brazil will go for the juggular in them games.. also expect england to give a damn good diplay vs sweden.
ecuador to draw or beat germany = england vs germany next round!! if that game arises and doesnt giv england the incentive to raise a few gears then nothing will.

brazillian C***s managed a fluke win again, was a bit annoying ref'ing but thts soccer. My bet's are the argies atm, though would really love australia to win ofc.
The Brazilians do not look strong. Watched all the games and I have to say Spain/Argentina/Holland look great.
Realisticaly I'd say Argentina.
But England did beat them.. you never know. Personally, even though I am Greek I want England to do well!

I reckon England might beat Brazil or Argentina, but only if they keep their tempers. They've tended to get wound up by them, and ended up committing reckless fouls and ending with 10 men.
If they can finish a game with them with 11 men, I reckon they have a chance.

ya Brazil looking pretty average at the moment, unfortunatly so are England
So far I'd say Argentina are showing strongest performance, but never know in football whats gonna happen so I still hope England can pull it out the bag.
