but I'm hoping for the best.
me too, that they finish ahead of Ghana and Michael Essien. I can just see that match up, Essien v Donovan. could be interesting."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito MussoliniComment

Looks like McClaren got the runners-up prize.Comment

All depends on the offense. McBride should be good, but I'm not sure about Eddie Johnson. The offense MUST go through Donovan and Beasley. Reyna can be a good distributor of the ball, but if we have to depend on Convey or Ralston for offense, then we're going home.Originally posted by Lawrence of Arabia

Defense is much improved. Onyewu is a Hell of a central defender. I only hope Arena uses Bocanegra as a CB instead of a RB where he has been disapointing in qualifiers. Maybe Cherundolo at RB instead and who knows, Hejduk at LB (edit, strike that.. he tore his ACL, anyway Lewis will probably be starting at LB no matter if Frankie was healthy or not)
. If more defense is needed, Maestroni can come in an play a defensive mid (maybe move Donovan to wing, take out Convey, move Reyna up and put Maestro behind him).

The change this time (more than before anyway) is that most internationals play in Europe anyway.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing?

England has easily the second or third best team in the world.
There's definately more than two, espaecially considering Rooney being out, Owen not yet fit.
Also, while they have a very good first team, imo they do lack depth (the only exception being Lampard vs Gerard).
One thing that will keep biting the English, will be tiredness...they really ought to play more games during the season, they really need another mickey mouse cup or something.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?

It's not like there have been all that many WC's in history, even less WC's that took place in Europe. We're talking about a sample size of less than ten cups.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

No matter, as the Netherlands will take the cup this time We always do well in Germany, and noone's expecting us to do well, which is usually when we're at our best...
