I bought some trainers which say that if England win the cup, i get my money back. I need to know if England will win the Cup. Who thinks they will, and who thinks they won't... Why?

The only reason the match might have looked rigged is because England is overrated and not as good as everybody made them sound.  Is it a suprise that a team came to the World Cup and decided to actually play hard?  England was LUCKY to get out with a win.

I'm in total agreement. the weather was a slight factor, but every host nation we've seen has a warmer climate than britain so preparations should be made, even if it means training in thermals & sweaters! Another factor was the ref... 1st half he was a perfect nit-picker, but the 2nd half, he went OTT - it was almost like he wanted it to go to a penalty shoot out! (which is where England REALLY need to improve!)\n\nI'm going 2b optimistic & hope it was one of 2 things...\n\na) 1st night nerves - could be justified with our track record.\n\nb) sven's hustling! lulling other teams into a false sense of complacency - I hope that is the answer but if I'm honest, it sounds too much like a conspiracy theory!\n\nEDIT: why do idiots like the 1st answerere bother with questions that they aren't interested in? are they that despr8 for 2 points? I pride myself more on my best answer percentage than overall points.\n\nAlso - is it legitimate for a ref to deny a physio access to an injured player??? or water to any other player???

okay here is my fair and completly unbaised unanalysis...with paraguay losing this morning to the swedes there out of the tournament....and the small but mighty t&t held strong against favored england only to go down 2-0 with less than ten minutes to play...so who is going to come out of group B champs...well you look at the two top teams ,england and sweden, however both team have been quite the underachievers....englands first winning there 06 world cup debut by an own goal (thanks to the captain of paraguay) and barely pulls off the win today against t&t is not really showing much for a team named as one of the favorites to win the cup.... the swedes as well are not doing to good tying with t&T not to say the small island did not put up a fight...but also only pulling off a win against paraguay with a 83rd min goal....if they can manage to beat england tommorrow they can pull off the top spot...however the likely hood of that is small...even playing less that great england has to much star power with player like beckham and rooney back on the pitch there are to strong to give away the top spot to sweden ...england even with there poor showing in the first two games has already secured a second round ticket....although much more will need to come from players like crouch and owen if they expect to go any further.....as for who will come in second well t&t will have to win against paraguay  ....and the swedes will have to lose to england...those result will leave t&t and the swedes tied with four points each and since head to head was a tie it will come down to goals....and although i have a huge heart for the underdog...i do believe the games will go a victory for england over the swedes and a t&t victory against paraguay...considering that t&T hasnt got in the back of the net yet there chances look glim to win that second seed spot by goals...although four goals would put them ahead of the swedes...the swedes would also have to come out score less against england...so all that to say ....its gonna be england with the top spot and the swedes coming in second with 4 points....altough my heartbreaks to say it the loss to england today and the swedish victory over paraguay pretty much closes the tournament door for the small twin islands of trindad and tobago.....

The English are proud, and also Loyal. Do we seem bothered that everyone wants us to lose? No, Do we care who you`ll be supporting? No. I think Its jealousy because your teams didnt even make It, Nothing worse than sore losers!! If we win, then that will be great, If we lose....at least we can say we were there, took part, and done our best. To the peoples whose countires didnt make It, Its like the lottery......You have to be In It to win It. Your not and we are. Come on England!!!

We never know..its always changing. But I will say that after watching England play and Italy play, England is sure to win. They may have some trouble vs. Brazil, but they are doing really well this year.

England will stay true to form in this world cup . They will get out of the group stage ,convince themselves they are going to win it , lose to a half decent team due to no conviction and poor ta tics and then find some poor soul to blame the hole thing on. Here in Ireland we see this every tournament they enter.

i think England has a glorious chance this year, look at the quality of their squad, the first tim is so balance, honest.. maybe they have weaknesses on second layer but as long as everybody fit, England may come as champion world cup this year

Yes, England will win, Rooney or no Rooney!!!!

Possibly three players missing! Aren't FIFA oifficials able to give Figo a red card retrospectively for his head butt, he got a yellow, but surely after seeing what happened he'll be given a red.  I was sceptical that England would be able to get much further (even though they showed more promise and glimmers of hope in the last game), but now they have a very good chance of progressing. \n I can imagine that it was the best possible outcome for an England supporter.

UNless ENgland is in form , i seriously doubt they will win.. for the past few games i dont think they have been at their best... portugal, on the other hand seems to have excellent offense and a not so bad defense... so i think england will score but portugal will win\n1-2

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"!!!

Yes, World cup.. how will xxx team do, how will xxx continent do, how will hosts do, how will players do.\n\nBARF\n\nI can't believe that the same gets asked (and answered) other than to recall that someone gets a best answer vote and (hopefully) a entry to win a trip to said world cup (and if they have to ask the questions like they are, then they don't deserve to be going, do they?)\n\nThe other ones I'm personally sick of is these knuckleheads who ask how to get in touch with or for the phone number or email address of xxx player... whether it be for someone off a 3rd division English side or Ronaldinho, odds are if you have to ask how to contact the guy, he isn't gonna reply.

There'd be a certain poetry if England were to beat Germany in the final - 40 years on from the last time - and this time away...\n\nBut it aint going to happen - Germany won't make it to the final.

True_blue, as a die-hard red, I may not support your team of choice but I agree with you wholeheartedly. England never fail to disappoint do they? Let's hope they put in a better display tomorrow, otherwise we'll be the laughing stock of the rest of the world, and will hardly be in a position to put the frighteners on anyone!\n\nHowever, I'll still be saying, "COME ON ENGLAND!"
