I think England needs a reality check. They think they can win the World Cup. Erm, no. Never gonna happen if you don't take care of your league first. Problem is that many of the great players over here (e.g. RVP) aren't English.

Yup exactly.
The Spanish league has a rule where 8 of their first team players have to be Spanish. So look how well Spain is doing in the World Cup?!
They should implement that rule in England or the English team will be finished. Already the FA are looking at non-English players (that Belgium Boy from ManU, can't spell his name) to be in the England team. 10 years down the line, you won't have any England-born in the national side.

Adnan Januzaj. But he didn't go to school in England, so there's some problem there.

He still can play for England whether he studied in England or not. As along as you've live in England for more than 5 years and haven't played for any national side, you can play for England. He has a few countries he can play for given his nationality but I hope he doesn't play for England.

I read something about him moving here after the schooling age cut-off or something? Dunno.

Erm, he has already moved to England? He has been with United for awhile now.

Ah ok. I don't know about all these things. All I know is as you've live in England for more than 5 years and haven't played for any national side, you can play for England. And I only know this from my FIFA Manager game.

Annnnddd, we are screwed Spain, Netherlands and Chile. Won't see which way the Netherlands or Spain go. Could be WC record losses there. We might score a goal against Chile. Maybe. If we are lucky.

And? We don't have any Poms on here I hope they lose every game by at least 4 goals. Would make me smile.

It'd make my boys happy if they did well. So there's my level of interest

Doubt they'll get out of the group. I would be surprise if they did. Can't see England going past the QF stage if they do go through. Team/manager not strong enough.

Irene, think Moyes will last beyond one more year?

It depends on what he does during the summer I think. I think he'll stay. SAF still holds a lot of power and he won't let him go that soon. Plus, the board knows Moyes is rebuilding he'll be given time to do that. The summer transfer will be a big indication on how well he's doing with that. I've said before I'm giving him 3 years to show results and I still stand by that. Interesting to see how the CL goes though. I never thought we'll make it this far.

The way he's going, they'll be relegated in 6! I think he'll be gone by 2015.
