    England predicted fourth on the BBC. Think I'd agree with that.
    Would you go 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 against the USA?

    If everyone wants to make a prediction of the winner, I'll make a list of the predictions and stick it in the second post.

    I think we're gonna draw against USA but we'll still win the group.

    I imagine England will get to the Semi's pretty easily but then again we have said this before. Will be interesting none the less really looking forward to it now. I think i have worked out my times to i can record and watch all three games back to back after i get home from work each night.

    Magic and thank god the new league season is just too far away.

    it's between Spain and Argentina to win imo. If their are no surprises in the groups, England will play France in the quater finals, i think we can beat them, and then it could be the netherlands or Brazil in the semis

    Hmm I would guess Italy have a chance along with Brazil and Spain and possibly Germany (yeah they are not the best team out there but somehow they keep getting quite far in the tournaments).

    I hope South Korea do quite well, I was hoping they would win it in 2002.
