Of the games played so far, only Cameroon have failed to score. I don't expect England to join that select group. Or Italy for that matter.
I'm hoping for a England victory, but I reckon it will be a score draw. I intend to make this fact clear to my online betting shop shortly.
The angry bees from 2010 have buggered off as well. ...nice to actually hear the crowd responding to the game in this World Cup.
I'd be amazed if we all don't! With England you just know nothing good can last i.e. even if we come racing out of the blocks and go 1-0 up there'll be an inevitable period shortly after where we sit back, start to get nervous and invite Italy onto us.
Or maybe this England team won't follow the same formula. We can but dream...
I used to get nervous quite a lot before reality kicked in and I finally realised we are never going to win a major tournament in my lifetime.
(Buffon now pretty much confirmed as out)
Darmian Barzagli Paleta Chiellini
De Rossi
Marchisio Pirlo Veratti
Candreva Balotelli
Was up in the air how they'd end up lining up, what style formation and who with in certain positions. A couple of surprises in there but it'll be interesting to see how it flows if this is how they line up.
I've never heard of Sirigu or half of that defence. Of course, that doesn't mean they'll be weak links.
I also think tonight's result will be 0-0.
It might be a good game for the neutral but not us england fans. I am hoping for a good performance even if we lose but I hope we don't get to gunhoe. I agree we need something tonight.
And England will be directionless, slow and lethargic.
