Englands WC Group England, USA, Slovenia and Algeria. USA beat Spain 2-0 this year. Spain are Euro Champions and WC Favorites. USA beat Egypt 4-0. Egypt are by far the strongest African team. Algeria also beat Egypt this time by 2-0. Slovenia gave England more than a game at wembly not long ago. This group is far from settled and I may in fact bet agaisnt England going thru if I can get silly odds. One other thought, iv done my calcs and if we qualify 1st and beat Germany in the round of 16 then i work out we will meet the cheating French in the 1/4's. Whats Nicky Spam and Gay Pride got to say about that?
Apart from looking Algerian & Pike showing his true colours by betting against England in the World Cup for the sake of a few quid, this is a great group for England. Granted USA beat a very strong Spain side earlier in June, but the work rate & stress of going into a groups such as E, G or H (Proven teams, with proven players) may have posed to be a mental & physical nightmare for England. Were capable of beating every team in group C without doubt.

Spain have allowed themsleves a blip, all teams have them and theirs was against the USA, if were seriously going to mount any kind of challenge for the world cup then we should be finishing top of this group with ease. Spain USA showed that if your not at the top of your game you can be punished but I don't think England have anything to worry about with qualifying to the next stage. If we can go over there with the spine of our team and don't loose key players to injury before the tournament we'll be in a good position to get into the latter stages.
USA beat Spain after the Spanish players had played practically non stop football for about 18 months after Euro 08. And it was pretty obvious that they really couldn't give a flying fuck about the Confederations Cup or whatever it was!! Egypt are not the strongest team, the strongest teams a la Nigeria, Cameroon , Ghana and Ivory Coast qualified surprisingly. And as for the Slovenia game it was a friendly and England have shown a total different class in qualifying and competitive games. I'll bet you WHATEVER you like that England qualify from this group and with ease!!
