The England side looks so bad on paper this time round that they might actually over achieve.

Big question for me is where will the goals come from when they are faced with the big guns of New Zealand, Australia, or IzBeckhamstan?

[The Waugh Twins]

England don't travel to the Americas until early June and they choose Miami. I question being in a big city, although at least it will be reasonably hot and muggy. Beckham must have a hand in this one.

Personally I'd be taking them fairly close to where they are eventually playing in order to acclimatise, as that can take weeks, but I'm no football manager so what would I know.

Trying to get some news on the Australian squad. Looks like Mark Bosnic is still the number one choice for party planner. Harry Kewell has been chosen as hairstylist.

I think we are in with a shout........at least at the bar.

I really fear Aus are going to get hammered, on the pitch. This is our worse team for many a year, reckon we will be lucky to score a goal, and will probably conceed over 10 in the group stages. This is going to hurt.

We have the easiest group to be fair. Spain, Netherlands and Chile.

Got the Chile and Dutch game down as a win and a draw against Spain to top the group

Oh its going to be messy

[SaintPowelly]

Is it only me that has a problem with Ben Foster going ??

[SaintPowelly]

Rickie Lambert says he only found out at 12pm that he was in the 23, and it was Roy Hodgsons secretary that called him as he was on his way to Portugal, so he was informed before he could travel.

At the moment we are technically on top of our group as I believe it starts in alphabetical order.

Way to go Australia, I never saw it coming.

Probably nothing worse than what Sven or Mark Palios were doing.
