No thank you. Greece or Korea please followed by the mess that is Group C (maybe USA, maybe England, maybe Ghana (D2).
No way I'm going to be A2 and play Argentina followed by Germany followed by who knows who.

0-0 or 1-0 in the US game I think, neither team can really score, Slovenia is very good defensively
Germans and England win by 2 or 3 I think

I'm gonna go with 1-0 Slovenia. I think the US will push to hard offensively and Slovenia will get one on a quick counter attack.

Even though it will never happen, I would love to see England fall to Algeria. That team cannot be knocked out of this tournament soon enough.

Well I'm rooting against Italy at every opportunity so I guess that makes us even.
England are going to stick around this tournament longer than you want/think.
It is written.

If there is a team who will fold like a cheap shirt and give up when facing adversity it is the French. Too bad Parguay couldn't keep that lead the other day. Get rid of France and get rid of Italy before the next stage is all I care about.

I like those predictions. Germany might be a little closer, say 2-0.

I don't like the French at all, but that really sounds like you are describing England there. The only way that team can win is if the World Cup is hosted on home soil and they are allowed to cheat their way to victory(like they did in 1966).

The English don't fold up like the French do (or other Euro teams do, blame the coach for tactics, coach is fired, rinse and repeat), but there always is some English drama in the WC that the UK press can assign some or all the blame to, that gets more attention around the world it seem (or at least here) then other teams' issues.
Maradona's goal, Stuart Pearce's 10 ft high blast on the PK in 1990, Beckham's red card etc...if they somehow don't get out of the group stage or have any sort of goaltending issue (with Green or James) from here on in it will still be blamed on Green's miscue vs. the USA as the reason for Green is still shaky or for an unprepared James having to come in so suddenly.

Yeah, because Italian football is so well known for honesty and integrity.

Sure, in club football, but not on the world stage and certainly not like England did when they won their only World Cup.
