I'm not saying that I think the Americans are very good, they're a middle of the pack team that big time goal scorers are going to victimize horribly if they even get the chance.
What I am saying is that I feel that people are drastically over-estimating England....AGAIN. Sure, Capello's squad had a very good qualifying record, but right now, over the last few weeks in their friendlies, to use the word 'underwhelming' would be generous.
They should have lost to Japan, and a lackluster 3-0 win over a lowly South African club team have been unimpressive.
The USA are not World-beaters by any means, but England are not all that intimidating in their current form either.
