World Cup Predictor - England path

Scottish Premier Rangers Celtic
comment on the article

I'm sure all of you have some world cup predictor going on at your work, what paths have you got England down for?

England 2:1 USA
England 3:2 Algeria
Slovenia 1:2 England

I have them unbeaten in the groups

2nd Round I have them facing Australia (and winning)

Quarters I have them facing Uruguay (and winning)

Semi's they are up against Brazil and get knocked out leaving a spectacular grudge match against

Argentina for 3rd place.

I'd love to see the hysteria down south for England to be knocked out at the semifinal and end up facing Argentina.

How far do you realistically expect England to reach?

Just watched opening game on telly.
Did anyone else find the noise from the crowd very irritating?
i.e The Horns / Bugles they were using.

I am English and I do wonder why a lot of us get so irate what Scottish, Irish and Welsh don't want us to win. I'm a Man City fan and I really don't want Man Utd to win the champions league... tell me what is the difference!

Enjoyed the first game, missed the second. Drew Uruguay in work sweep stake. Not expecting any thing there lol. I can't believe how short the odds from the bookies are on England. WH only offering 8/1 as 4th favourites. ok I want us to do well,, but does anyone other than the greedy bookies really think we are 4th favourites?

bjbean
it is not narrow minded to want your own team to do well.
I can respect anyone who wants their team to WIN.
So, I have no problem with a German who wants Germany to win or an Italian who wants Italy to WIN. I do have a problem with the sweaties who want us to LOSE.
because their own team has no chance to WIN.
that is what hurts isn't it?

Landscape, the bookies I've seen we're 3rd favourites. Why not? It's about time the mighty England had some luck which of course you need to win it.
