I would and will put money on Ivory Coast winning it on their own continent.
...Ivory Coast or Holland.
England will pick a rubbish team. So many top class players will miss out like Bobby Zamora, Paul Robinson, Joe Hart, Gary Cahill, Ryan Shawcross, Adam Johnson, Carlton Cole and Michael Dawson to name just a few but there is also Phil Jagielka, Ledley King, Micah Richards, Gaby Agbonlahor, Steven Warnock, David Dunn, Matty Taylor, Joe Cole, Tom Huddlestone and Jimmy Bullard not too mention the ones that WILL get injured like David Beckham already is...You can always rely on Becks. Then rubbish players like David James, Steven Gerrard and Emile Heskey will probably get picked.
England want a big man upfront with Rooney...Are they saying Rooney is small? Hes a great big fat lad who can bring down high balls and run in behind plus link up with midfield better than Crouch, Heskey, Zamora or any big striker put together and i dont even like Rooney.
Why cant we just play football like Spain or Holland ?
England think we deserve a World Cup because we invented the game of football. Until we realise the other nations have firmly caught up and getting ahead of us then we are not, say it again WE ARE NOT GOING TO WIN THE WORLD CUP! Instead of this long ball stuff everywhere in England we need much better grass roots and start playing football. England never ever play nice football. No one enjoys watching England because there doing everything wrong.
That puts foward my arguement. Cheerio!
