I think England has an easy group, algeria and slovenia are very loose teams, while usa isnt difficult. the only thing worthwhile is the meeting beetween donovan and beckham.

good blog, greetings from nunca podre tener un dinosaurio

Thanks Manu
Not sure Beckham is going to be on the plane, and if he is, will he get much game time?
All being well England should have a reasonably easy route into the next round, but with England, being England, who can ever tell?

I dont know man, i watched algeria play in the world cup qualifiers, and in the african cup…I have come to the conclusion that when they play together and at top form, this is a VERY tough team to beat, especially once they have the lead. But on their bad days, they are just a so and so team

I have just placed a £100 bet on england to win the 2010 Worldcup against Germany 3-1. What do you reckon are my chances??

Just wanted to say that you have a lovely blog keep up the good work !
