He's so important to England the F.A. will do a Beckham on him. They'll take him and hope he recovers in time to play after the group stage. Does the injury harm Englands chances?. You bet it does.

England have a great shot this year, even if Rooney may be out (fingers crossed he aint) alot of the players on the team, are at their peaks too.

Yes, that would probably make it more exciting than it already is!! \nMany good teams have not won the world cup, they need the opportunity to shine!

...yep I like that...especially when the team is not doing so well they could look down at their top for inspiration...I think it would look good. good idea...England could use bigger stars, as they'd have less! lol (-:

I hope so! \n\nAlthough England has a very good team this year as well.\n\nFollowing below the Brazilian National Team (at least, the name of the ones I can recall right now) for The World Cup 2006.\n\nCoach: Antonio Carlos Parreira\n\nGoalkeepers: Dida, Rogério Ceni,Gomes\n\nCenter forward/ Attackers: Ronaldinho, Kaká, Adriano, Ronaldo, Robinho, Juninho Pernambucano.\n\nWings/Middle fields:Roberto Carlos, Cicinho,Juan, Ze Roberto, Gustavo Nery\n\nDefenders: Edimilson, Lúcio, Roque Jr., Cris, Emerson, Gilberto Silva\n\n\nEnjoy it!

To have a fair point of view,i would have to say the normal favourites would get throught the 1st round,but there is always a chance that an upset can be caused.Just take a look at the last one,Argentina,France...just disasters.As far as i m concerned..i m guessing that brazil and england have a good shot at it..but nothing is  taken away from germany..as they are playin at home and they have one heck of a captain.The others such as Portugal and Holland,they may cause some upsets among the new big boys and with a liltle bit of luck they may go all the way.But in my opinion,i would have to say England..The players all hyped up and theres nothin we can say about the likes of Frank Lampard,Steven Gerrard,John Terry,Paul Robinson and the ever present Wayne Rooney

I think the real question is can England beat Ecuador or Germany in the final 16? If so, then can they win the quarter finals? If so, then we will talk about Brazil.\nAt the moment, England have a better overall textbook team on paper. I think Brazil have so much more talent that could be used though. I think England's textbook team are not as comfortable in using this to their advantage as Brazil are at using their talents to their advantage. So really I think Brazil play more to their strengths and should win.

You don't need to tell me - England always get either Sweden or Poland in qualifying!\n\nIt is VERY coincidental if not dubiously 'random'...

Sweden needs to win (Sweden could also tie tough) but I think the English will try to avoid Germany in the next round. Moreover, I think England will not play at 100% and with many substitutes

lmao nicely said stephan, i totally agree...as u can see from cockney boys reply he cant really handle the truth so has to start swearing like an imature little kid, and England has no chance of winning the World Cup, coz they suckkkkkkkk and always will....no good players, no good manager...what chance do they have,,,,None....uhh when was the last time England won.....Exactly...i'd deffinately like to see argentina vs england i know for sure who will win that game :D

England have an excellent chance of beating Ecuador, and will be favourites to win the match and progress to the quater-finals. Whether we can then get through to the semis is another matter though..

Its a scorching day, and It was the first game. I dunno about you lot, but I wouldnt be much good running In this heat, after all I`m human like the English players. Theres been so much on the news, In the papers, building England up, all the media hype...you ever heard of the saying " trying to hard to please"? The whole world Is watching, everything they do, or dont do, they know they get slagged off for. I agree, England were`nt all that today, but...3 points Is what matters, As for swapping teams after 1 game, 1, where Is your loyalty? 2, Dont go by the first game. 3,Brazil have`nt even played yet, and If they do and lose to an underdog team, you gonna revert back to England again when It suits you?. I dont think your being a good role model for your son, Its as If to say " England are losing, sinking, lets jump ship" Nonsence....You watch our next few matches....If England get further than you expected or If England win....I hope you tell your son, "Daddy Is a plonker"!!!
