world cup run up

So you say you want to play Germany huh?
You want to taste the sweet nectar of Ballack's tears as he watches helplessly from the sideline as we make amends for that 2002 handball?
well then, you might want to hope to god for a 0-0 algeria slovenia scoreline. nothing could help us advance out of our group more.

lets face it, england are going to boss us, they might have some trouble with algeria, but i see them taking all 9 points quite easily, assuming they dont take their foot off the gas in their last game against the slovenians.

so it doesnt really matter who makes the squad. we all know what our lineup is going to look like with maybe the exception of edu/ricardo clark. im not so sure about leaving poor jozy up there on his own though. if we're going to play counterattack (cough cough) then we need a charlie davies to go run some stuff down. nobody we have is faster than glen johnson out there, so 4-5-1 kind of makes sense, but not with jozy, who isn't the best at holding up the ball.

usa czech republic kicks off at 2am local time, so i had to settle for england mexico tonight.

i really dont see how we beat england. its actually terrible luck that we have to play them first. they look damn good. and so did arjen robben, and sneijder gosh, they've got some players. but dont jump on the dutch bandwagon just yet, i've got a funny feeling about them...

oh, and in case you need any reminding...
