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

england are NOT the best team in the world on paper, they're just quite good. world rankings mean sweet f.a. sorry guys - the USA was 4th going in to the world cup. england haven't beaten a big side in a competitive game in years - i think the last one that could be considered a 'big' side would be argentina in 2002 - and that was in the group stage, against an admittedly poor argentina side, from a spot kick. come on people! just admit england are sh.it\n\nteams that could win:\nportugal\ngermany\nspain\nitaly (but i wouldn't bank on it)

You must be dreaming. they have a  -9999% chance to win any world cup.

yeah... must be more pressure and more panic causes them to win. they lose against the not-so-good teams because they probably are more self confident and don't try as hard as they would if the team were say, Brazil.

England has a good bowling line up, but they don't have a good batting line up. If they can find the balance then they will be unbeatable at the World Cup

With a performance like today's, no, we'll never win the World Cup.\n\nWe should decline to qualify for World Cups in Europe.  Not sure what it is, but in our last 7 matches in World Cups in Europe, we're 0-7 with 3 goals scored and 16 surrendered.

No.  They're just like any other team.  If they don't qualify they don't qualify.  They only have themselves to blame.  It's weird not seeing them there but too bad - so sad - the world moves on.  The beautiful game moves on.

It may be meaningless but is a chance for a country to be united in a celebration; they (and we all) celebrate victories in the world cup because it is a competition against the best 32 teams of the world; if you win a match you CAN say it is meaningless because of the round or the game circumstances but nevertheless it is your country winning against one of the countries that proved to be good enough to qualify. Maybe Germany is not the best team in the world right now but it is their world cup and they should enjoy it as I think they are.

They can and have made it this far so there ! =P\n\nPlus they have good deffenders like Terry and A Cole and good strikers like Rooney, Owen and Gerrard!\n\nAs well as men like Hargreave that get up and on with it rather than doing oscar winning dives like most other teams! \n\nWoo Go England! =D =P

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!!!

The world cup comes once in 4 years who wouldn't be excited even if your team is not there. I am from Nigeria and even though we are not in the world cup, i am still very excited and have adopted England as my team.

It's not the accomodation that determines who will win but the skill and ability to socre goals therefore it is not possible for England to win.

Nobody has won more World Cup titles.  Nobody.  Besides, just look at how they play.  Even if they didn't win so much, which they have, they would still be respected for their artistry alone.

Not at the moment, the big teams have a fluidity and confidence about them that england do not have. They must build the team around rooney and gerard, give them space to create and england will reap the rewards.

They have as good of a chance as any other team.  The probably have the 2nd best talent behind Brazil.  They will need to get out of group play healthy & find a defensive/holding centre mid-fielder. They are due & haven't won since 1966.  GO ENGLAND!
