The two nations who are used to the humidity aren't playing in the Amazon against us, only Italy are who will equally suffer. The problem against Italy is their ball retention and us running ourselves in to the ground. We'd need to go old skool and bull hammer them

Realistically if we can beat 1 of Uruguay and Italy + Costa Rica we have a good chance of going through.

But is it realistic?

 

I guess we can hope they have an off day.

Talk elsewhere on the net that FIFA might switch the kick-off time/location of our match v Italy and Uruguay v Costa Rica  which is earlier in the day as happened in 2002 to suit all 4 countries..

 

The Sweden v England game in 2002 was move back to an evening kick-off swapping with Argentina v Nigeria.

You can always let the Kiwis represent you next summer, if you don't feel your team's up for it. :ph34r:

I think they showed against Mexico that they are miles behind us

We should be expecting to finish 2nd.

 

Italy should win the group, Uruguay will be tough but we should be expecting to beat them, Costa Rica with all due respect should not be written off but finish bottom of the group.

 

If we don't qualify past the group stage it will be a failure and a disappointment imo.

Apparently FIFA are contemplating moving England v Italy away from Manuas and doing a swap with Uruguay v Costa Rica.

 

I hope not, Ive already got a great evening planned out with the England Italy game as the crescendo.

With Rooney- Not a fcukin prayer

Without- Possibly.

Call me a traditionalist but I think we've got more chance of progressing with our best player.

And before anybody makes any smart Alec comments, Wayne Rooney is the best player eligible to play for England.

Orly?

 

They've got a decent XI backed up with the arguable the best strike partnership at the tournament. We've got Danny Wellbeck.

Anyone thinking of going? I'm planning on doing the final 2 group games as they are in close proximity and spend a few days in-between in Rio. Looked at flights, travel, tickets and hotel will cost £1100 for the week and then spendo, should be doable.

Not me though that seems very good value.May consider a sport ops 'day trip' if they do one and if theyre cheap enough.

How many caps do you have?
