semi finals, the run to the quarters is relatively straightforward (and yes, i have checked my wallchart and done all the calculations) the quarters will be tough and then we get one of the big guns in the semi |

My opinion is that this is the best England side I have seen in my lifetime but were Rooney to get injured early, you will not get a sniff of the final (or semi), he is paramount to the cause. Really?? I think we have 1 maybe 2 world class players at most - Rooney and maybe Gerrard - but he has not played well in a white shirt for ages. Lucky if we get passed the QFs |

I still think our best chance of winning a tournament was the Euros two years ago. Most of the key players were the right kind of age and they're all getting on a bit now (apart from Rooney). Also Terry and Rio were both playing and on form. We might have half a chance this year if Capello played Hart, but with either James or Green in goal it's never gonna happen/ |

The Euro prior to that England lost on on penalties to Portugal and saw possibly the worst penalty ever taken by the one and only Darius Vassel and I think Beckham's also was a contender for worst this decade. |

And yet two years on with almost the same team lots of people are talking about them as possible world cup winners. Capello might make the difference, he's a top manager. I haven't seen enough of England to know if they really are genuine contenders. |

ON paper it's been our best team in a while IMO. Several key players in the 25-28 yr bracket when footballers are generally at their peak - Gerrard, Lampard, Ferdinand, Terry, A / J Cole. |

Agreed with Bert. We had a very strong team. Platt/Waddle/a young Gascoigne playing behind a top class front two of Lineker & Beardsley was as good as I've seen England going forward in my lifetime. |

hang on a minute. the england side wasn't that good in italia 90 if i recall. taken to extra time by the footballing power house that is cameroon. A massive win against Egypt? a huge draw against an Ireland side in their first world cup. A draw against a very shit Holland. erm, were belguim the next massive team? i can't remember that game? Ireland were fucking awesome though.  edit - just checked, it was belguim, 1-0 after extra time. and cameron were 2-1 up at one point. |

England 1-0 up v Platinum Stars. P Stars have just taken a horrendous penaltu...smashed over the bar, possibly the worst i have ever seen. SWP played a beautiful pass to Gerrard who then set up Defoe for the goal. Joe Hart has started. |
