Does anybody else think USA will beat us???

[supercity88]

It will be an interesting game, I know a few Americans I will watch it with which makes me more nervous! Looking on paper, we should destroy them, I disagree with these "England are playing rubbish" comments. We qualified with ease against and beat a Croatian team 4-1 away when they had never lost a qualifier on home soil. We battered them 5-1 to qualify for the World Cup, and Capello finally has the England team performing when we need to. The warm ups were a test of fringe players and new formations, we still won both games but you cant look too closely at them.

We invented football, it is the national sport and it is in our veins, that's why we are so passionate about it and whilst many Americans are the same, it doesn't grip the nation as it does in England. But saying that, should be a good game. We wont play negative at all, Capello wont be telling the England team to play out a draw. If we play well, I think we will send a message and batter the US, that's what Capello will be asking for.

It's blatantly obvious that most people on this board no nothing of football outside England (and not much more in it).

The one biggest thing the USA have over England is they play as a team. Everyone knows their roles and does what is required of them. They easily took care of Australia on Saturday and should of had another goal at least. They defend from the front, a very solid midfield and some good height at the back. Plus they can counter very well.

England will have to play very well to get a result.

FFS don't bring logic, reasoning and a knowledge of footy into this, lets face it USA don't have a good enough history to be in the this competition (how RAG like is that reasoning on here) be honest it it wasn't for failure to qualify, handball, sh!t penalty takers, injuries, sendings off, chubby Swedish kids, Irish who aren't Irish & dodgy referees then England would have won every world cup & euro championship there's ever been.....now are there any dodgy Russian linesmen officiating in this tournamnet???

I'm predicting a narrow 1-0, or 2-1. I'll think we'll win, but it will be close.

chuffin hell lads and lasses, steady on, we're all blues here.

Will the US beat us? I don't think so. Can the US beat us? certainly

 

[Patientman63]

I predict it will one of three possible outcomes.

And i will be right.

England dont play as a team? where have you been for the last 2 years? the one thing capello has done is turn in england back in to a football team, I no your tryna be a smart arse and a know it all but we hear it every time england play smaller nations (in footballing terms) that they have team sprit that will be enough to be beat us and they play as a team and england a bunch of over paid show boats.
