God, I SO want England to win, but I just don't think we're strong enough to--Germany's been pretty solid and it seems like we're only really beginning to click as a team this time around. =/

With Germany's rather poor defence (Lahm isn't enough to redeem it), and Schweinsteiger possibly out injured, I reckon England actually have a decent chance of winning it. And, with the confidence boost of beating the team identified as England's nemesis, I reckon we'd be able to possibly get to the semis off the confidence surge.

I'm certain Germany will score, but if Rooney is in the form the training ground rumours suggest, and Defoe keeps attacking (the German backline is too slow to cope, unless Lahm and Boetang, if he starts, stay back to help the center backs out) we can outscore them. I'd probably rather see Lennon play though, I don't think Milner is effective at all against better teams, so at least with Lennon's pace we could cause them a problem and keep one of their fullbacks pinned back for the game.

We just need to hope our dysfunctional midfield comes together. Hopefully Gerrard can discover some discipline and not entirely negate Lampard like he usually does (Gerrard looks good but at the expense of the team's shape, which we cannot afford to lose at this level).

Don't write off the USA like that.

(They beat Spain).

And also Germany lost (not even didn't beat but LOST) to Serbia.

Funny thing: Germany don't have a rivarly with England

We LIKE to think they're still sore over the '66 final, but none of them remember it (Who REMEMBERS losing?)

Now, Germany vs Holland, THERE'S a game the Jerrys will get worked up about

Although I don't want Germany to win, this year England just doesn't deserve to go further. They were pathetic in the group stage.

It's only been right 80% of the time though!

I'm skimming between the game and the forums.

It feels like I'm stuck in a traffic jam in a tin can of a car.

Bloody horns. Bloody heatwave. Bloody Volkswagen.
