Simba - agree Heskey has done nothing (neither has Rooney )Cole should be in and I'd play Crouch alongside Rooney.Hope that Lennon comes to life.England must play wide down the flanks,and the wings must beat their marker and cut into the box.Prediction ENG 2-0.

I am no footie expert saw the Portugal game on Monday - wonderful and 7 goals scored!!.For me, with England it all in the mind now - it not about who they choose but rather about attitude! Go England!

We have got this far with only the back line playing well, imagine when we click, i am pleased we drew Germany as they hold no surprises for us and we have spent the past 200 years beating them at everything from the Great Wars to the eurovision song contest. I for see an England/Argentina final and we all know what happens when the Argentine anoys England......

Ciao to Italia as well ! Unbelievable. On current form it looks like the South Americans (Brasil,Argentina favorites) will take the cup.

its surprising that both finalists of the previous world cup are out on the first round... USA impressed me though, i didnt think they are that good, seem to never give up and this worked well for them now and then... I wonder what will happen against Ghana soon - I was also impressed with Ghana, they gave my team (Germany) a big run for their money! I would like to see Germany advance and take the cup!!! It will be a hard competition though, I think i saw some really good teams so far, like you say South America is quite hot! lets see how it develops, will operate one game at a time - so England is the next to fall!

Just got back from Jhb where I went to see Ger-Gha and Slv-Ita and enjoyed the vibe at both stadiums, and although Durban's Moses Mahbida may be the most impressive in looks (watched 3 WC games there already), Soccer City's atmosphere has got to be the best this country has to offer, World class. Before the competition started I thought this was going to be one of upsets, and I don't think we've seen the end of them.From the very 1st world cup final, one of 4 teams have been represented (ITA, GER, ARG, and BRA), one out already is it going to change this time round? I wouldn't bet on it.

Bafana: Feeell it - it is GONE! Old Santana took everybody for a ride and he took the boys nowhere during the time that he was paid a fortune - the SA management team to be blamed for that blunder! ... At least Carlos P lately tought the boys a little about 1st world tactics and long passes. My money is on the Netherlands...
