Can't wait for it.

Hoping Brazil win it (Well, would rather England but we have no chance).

Yer Brazil looking pretty strong although there midfield is lacking some what compared to Spain,Germany and Argentina,
but the defense is mouth watering, can't imagine the pressure Neymar is under though, if he gets injured they would be in serious trouble.

Am going with Argentina, i just don't want to see Germany or Spain winning it.

Nice post buddy. I've got £30 on germany to win it and Lukaku to be the tournaments top goal scorer.

I put my bet on Belgium..

Not expecting us (England) to make it past the group stage so no high expectations from me.

but why ?? we have a miles better team than we had 4 years ago v Italy while they have only made a slight improvement at best. ye they have pirlo but hes 35 now having wilshire man marking him will take him out the game completely. Uruguay are ok going forward but lack any real talent at the back. then we have costa rica....

my starting 11 for sat 4-2-3-2
Hart

Johnson Cahill Jagielka Baines

Gerrard Barkley

Chamberlain Wilshere Sterling

Sturridge

youth is what the team needs forget about this WC and concentrate on the 2016 euros and 2018 WC when we could if the youngsters get given the chance now let them play together for 2 solid years drop any one now over the age of 26 yes that includes rooney to many times he has under performed in big games the potential wasted on that man is a sad sad loss

Don't get me wrong, we have the potential to go far in the competition, but i dont think we have any game winners.. We don't have a neymar that can pop up with something amazing to win us a game, or even a goal scorer for that matter. If we can keep Chamberlain fit and Sterling, i think we have a decent chance of getting into the knockouts..

Henderson Gerrard Wilshere

Rooney Lallana

4-3-3.

Also Ox isn't fit is he? last news on him was he might be fit for the Uruguay game but unlikely for Italy. I wouldn't start sterling or Barkley, bringing these 2 on after 60 mins will give us so much attacking threat and pace to a tired Italian side.

As for the game tonight i will say 2.0 Brazil.
