Does anyone still think that England won't lose the Ashes 5-0?

After the second days play in the test, the best the Aussies can hope for in this game is a draw. \nThat's your 5 - 0 gone.\nCome on England.

Always Right is actually wrong. A team could win all their knockout stages, win all the way to the final and then lose. Another team could get thru the knockout with just one win but then go onto win the final.\n\nOh, and England will ofcourse be victorious.

Well Ash, nothing wrong with being optimistic.  But mate if you think they are a chance, get your money on them now, cos you'll get great odds!\n\nOr maybe you like omens.  In 2005 Australia won the first test by 239 runs in the most one sided game of the series..... and we all know what happened after that.

mate , you need to contain your grossly misplaced australian arrogance. England won't lose the ashes to dad's army! \nIt will be a stern lesson to the aussies but hopefully this will lead to them shutting there mouths for once!

Aussies too good, 40 odd to16 about I guess. Scotland not up to this one but still better than Englands efforts in the ashes!

NO.\nITS TOO TOUGH.\nAUSSIES HAVE TO FACE VERY STRONG CONTENDERS THIS TIME.\nS.A. IS ONE OF THEM WHICH HAS MANY WORLD CLASS ALL-ROUNDERS.\nWHICH IS THE ESSENTIAL ONE TO WIN ODI'S NOW A DAYS.

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"!!!

Just browsed your answers in case some IDIOT put EEEEEEEENGLANND, So its 8.15 Portugal are through, \nI think ENGLAND have as much chance of winning now as I did at the start of matches.

I honestly believe that England could win it but, they won´t, as you say they have a strong team on paper but unfortunately on the pitch they never seem to produce that magic that they are meant to posses. I can say the same for Spain where i stay, they have had and still have an extremely good team on paper but when it comes down to it they never seem to be able to play toghether just like England. Now don´t you think that this could have something to do with all the foreign players in the leagues nowadays?? What is Football going to be like in 5 years, i mean look at countries like Scotland etc. who dont have a good player anymore because the youth sistem has gone down the drain, i just hope this does not happen in England or Spain although it looks like its happening now.

Wow, SO many delusional people out there (see above). \n\nAnyway, back to the real world, West Ham to win 4:0.\n\nCOME ON YOU IRONS!!!

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.

No way. It will be a whitewash in favour of the Aussies. This England team is over rated. Flintoff is the most over rated player I have ever seen.

I don't think they'll go anywhere near as far (is that an oxymoron?) as they did in the 2002 Cup in Japan/South Korea. They pretty much shocked the world by advancing to the semifinals and I just can't see them pulling off such a miraculous feat this time around. Hopefully, they will at least survive their group and put on a good show. \n\nMy pick to win it all is England. It's been exactly 40 years since they beat Germany on English soil and now they're going to do it again on German soil. England forever!

Surely AUSTRALIA will win..... But i want this series to end in draw so that england can retain it..... England should bat and bowl better than the aussies so that they could able to defeat them...

On the current evidence it is too close to call.Australia is still the one to beat but that aura of invincibility is over now.Others are beginning to fancy their chances now.This cup is as wide open now as was the one in 1996.My gut feeling is that England or South Africa will win it for the first time.No one deserves it more than England having made it in to three finals.

We won't win it if people keep on telling us we won't.\n\nEngland have a better chance than they have had before. Brazil are the undoubted favourites and everyone knows they will probably win it again. \n\nWe've got a brilliant midfield and defence, our Goalkeeper's solid as well only possible problem might be our strikers with Rooney injured (which is getting a bit annoying with constant media coverage of it), Owen having fitness problems, Crouch needing a little bit more and Walcott being probably one of the most inexperienced players in the tournament. Having said that Darren Bent could probably have solved the problem and are we taking him NO and why the hell not. Crouch needs that little bit more and he'd be worthy and he's now coming out of his shell a bit.\n\nWe won't allow Argentina to beat us again and same goes to Germany. The Old enemies will be beaten and the ghost of '66' will be laid to rest finally. I think not only are the English public sick of only having won once but everyone else in the UK is sick of hearing about it.\n\nEngland all the way!
