what stage will england get to in the world cup?

[tomfitz12]

well its pretty much what the title says. what stage will we get to before we are knocked out? (most likely on penalties)

 

[carteater]

i would say group stage, but if we do get out of our group it'll be quarter finals

 

[Mellotron]

Group Stage or Quarters. If quarters it should be a good first step for many of these players at their first WC. More important to me is that we attempt attacking, attractive football.

work it out on this

Second Round.

Two Draws and a win get us out of the groupstage and a disaponting loss in the second round, just after everyone had started to believe.

Shattered dreams and 4 more years of pain.

Group stage.

All three games between England, Italy and Uruguay to be draws, and all three to beat Costa Rica, but England go out on goals scored.

If we get out the group then we should reach the quarter-finals - the toughest draw we can get in the second round is a Falcao-less Colombia who, if we can knock out one of Italy & Uruguay, we should beat. Any further than that is probably beyond us.

I reckon that's what we'll do, too - so have voted for that.

I think we'll get past the group, but no idea after that

 

[Guinness Boy]

Won't get out of the group

 

[crodonilson]

Round of 16 for me.

Defeat to Brazil in the Quarters

Group Stage

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Quarters.

We will progress from the group in second place, beat Columbia and then lose to Brazil.

Having done a little work prediction competition I made out the quarters to be

Brazil vs England
France vs Germany
Belgium vs Argentina
Spain vs Uruguay.

HOW GOOD IS THAT.

 

[Easy 10]

I think we'll scrape through the group. Columbia, Greece, Japan or Ivory Coast await in the 2nd Round if we get through.

Can't see Japan getting out of that group, but if they somehow did and we got them, happy days. Greece would be a complete and utter borefest of a game but we'd eventually prevail I think. Ivory Coast have some tremendous individuals, and the prospect of Jagielka/Cahill vs Drogba would probably have me wetting the bed the night before, but again I think we'd sneak through unconvincingly. Columbia are severely weakened without their talisman Falcao, but playing a South American team in South America, not easy...but again, I still believe we'd have enough to do it.

Brazil in the Quarters = game over though. Obviously.

Why not be optimistic and say semis

Interesting question, how big a favourite were we going into the '66 WC? Were we the underdogs (even with home advantage)?

 

[rcf0712]

No chance of getting out of that group in stinky hot Brazil, no chance - just enjoy watching the South Americans........

 

[8ace]

Just over 40% correct then

 

[Gwylan]

I didn't see this poll but am staggered that six of the people who did thought we'd get to the semis, at least. It's true what they say about that strong stuff that people are smoking now

 

[Winker]

I've only just seen this poll so I've voted for 'Group Stage'. About the only time I've got a prediction right
