I don't know what's happened to me today, but all of a sudden I think England can win the World Cup. I've been as negative as anyone after the poor performances, but I've just got this feeling today that we're going to go on and win the bloody thing!!

COME ON ENGLAND!!! :clap2:

We all know that England can play better than what we have shown so far. No matter what formation we play - the players we have still have the ability to not only pass a ball, but also show a bit of passion when it's needed.

The bigger games will bring out the best of England. It will also help playing against teams that might actually be trying to win the game as well, rather than just trying to see out the 90 minutes and then rushing to get Becks' shirt for their kids.

Exactly. Anything can happen. Remember Spain's first game - they tonked Ukraine 4-0. Everyone was raving potential winners, glorious football, goalfest frenzy, the beautiful game, puts England to shame, Ukraine an embarrasment... blah blah...

Now Spain are going home and Ukraine are in the quarterfinals.

Of course I'd love England to be playing stunning beautiful football, but as this shows: staying in the competition is unpredictable and ultimately more important.

My money is very firmly on England and has been from the start. Nothing I have seen since has changed that view. Probably from the heart rather than the head, but I think our name is on that trophy this time.
 


It was crucial that we won our group. That way we would only have to play one from Argentina, Germany, Brazil, Italy, France and Spain before the final.

We should be able to beat Portugal - and we are due a win against then - especially with a few players missing from their team. Brazil and France are both definitely beatable - I was sorry to see Spain go out for obvious reasons but from England's point of view I think they would have been the hardest for us to beat.

That leaves the final - presumably Germany or Argentina. And in a one-off anything is possible.

Can we do it? - certainly.

Will we do it? - I've though for ages that this is our best chance for years. So yes, I have a feeling we will.

And I look forward to Sven's reaction - and the reaction of the press - when Walcott comes on and scores the winner in extra time!

Arise, Sir Sven :clap2:

Bollocks. We are in the Quarter Finals of the World Cup. Every team in it has looked beatable. Of course we have a chance.

We can, and we will win it. The dream final (for me anyway) of England vs Germany is still on. To beat Germany in the final, on their own patch will finally once and for all out paid to all talk of 1966.

BRING IT ON

Nothing i have seen us do in this world cup so far should convince me of thinking "yea, i reckon we've got a chance", but i can't help but have this funny little niggling feeling in the back of my head since way before the tournament even started that this is our year. Despite Sven and his inadequacies, the players are good enough and have enough heart to carry him.

Yes, every team has indeed looked beatable. Unfortunately, England have looked it more so than most other sides.
