We'll see today lemon. I'd say it's a fair match with anyone capable of winning. xD

Good luck England, I really hope you go through to the last 16. I'm not to surprised England have failed to make an impact so far though. The pressure on the players from fans and the national media is enormous. Did anyone notice the faces of Robert Green and James Milner during the national anthem just before the USA game? They were grim and extremely tense and I bet they were so nervous that they rather would be somewhere else. And Milner was substituted after only 30 mins and Green, well...  :-S

Compare England with some other teams like Argentina or Uruguay. They enjoy their football and have fun on the pitch. IMO England should be able to do a lot better with all the good players. I guess lots comes down to psychology in the end. I can't even start to imagine how it feels to wait on the pitch for kick-off, knowing that a possible mistake from you will follow you as long as you live. Add to that the fact that as a player you just get the opportunity to play the World Cup every four years.

Even in Sweden, Green's mistake was blown out of proportions. He instantly made the cover of our largest daily sports magazine with a banner across his chest saying "Miss USA". Fun? Maybe, but it'll be tough for him to shake off.

Either way we qualified. Yay. Much better perfomance, should have won 2 or 3 nil. Sorry Pepi, the best team won.

Just the tonic after the algeria game.

Well, 3 played, 9 points....who is doing that as well? Now Robben is back, we could reach somewhere nice. If we win the next match, we will have a very hard quarterfinal, but hear me out. If we get to the quarterfinal and we win it, we will win the tournament!
