This group is very interesting. 99% England goes to the round of 16 as the first team which means they will play the second team in group D which consits of Germany, Ghana, Australia and my Serbia. I think whoever moves on could give England serious trouble. Germans....to quote Sir Alex, "typical germans", Australia is a team that could really complicate things in group D, however they will most likely finish last. Ghana is a very good team but I can't see them qualifying. My Serbian team, don't want to brag, but has a very good chance to move on. IMO, it's a battle for first between Germany and Serbia, either way a tough match up for England in the round of 16. Serbian defense is: Vidic (man u, arguably one of the best defenders in the world), Ivanovic (chelsea, plays RB and was in the EPL premier leage team of the season), Subotic (Dortmund, but wanted by most big teams in Europe, only 20 yrs and is already one of Europe's hottest prospects), Lukovic, and Kolarov (soon to move to Real Madrid and in my opinion is in the top 5 LB's in the world). Obviously, our strength is the defence which I believe could cope with the best of them. Krasic (also wanted by the European big shots, but most likely going to Juventus if the lastest speculations are true), Jovanovic (Liverpool), Stankovic (Inter), Kacar, Kuzmanovic, Tosic (man utd) are all quality players. Our biggest weakness is the forwards as Zigic and Pantelic are known to miss a lot of sitters.
Also, our GK is nothing special. I wouldn't be surprised we topped the group to be honest, which SHOULD give us USA or Slovenia in the next round, which most likely means progress to the quarters.
