Haha you're getting a bit too exited:

England 2-1 Paraguay
Trinidad & Tobago 0-4 Sweden
Argentina 3-1 Ivory Coast

Elhenni, I have to predict a 1-1 for England vs. Paraguay to compensate your unlimited optimism

Ok
England 2, Par 0
Trinidad 0 Sweden 3
Argentina 3 Ivory Coast 0 unless Drogba, Dindane or Kone score on individual action... then I say 3-1

I am looking forward to England playing but I really want to see Argentina, they have a couple of players who can set the tournament alight...

Also if I remember rightlt Sweden have been quite exciting in previous tournaments, they tend to go for it.

Ive got Riquelme and Sorin in my dream team, I need then to do the business as im still on -1 because of Lehman yesterday, ive already substituted him for Casillas.

On top of them I have Beckham and Terry in my team.

Full-time: England 1-0 Paraguay

I didnt even see the first half as my alarm didnt go off. Second half was completely dominated by Paraguay. England rarely looked dangerous and just sat back defending Paraguay. I dont see them going too far if they play this way in the coming games. As for Paraguay, some talented players but on a team level they didnt really connect. However, England's defence played a good game (kept it tight) and I guess they made it hard for Paraguay.

1. Gerrard and Lampard two of the best passers of the ball on the planet, Beckham perhaps the best passer.

So what does Ericdonkey do, lets play long ball football, lets totally forget about passing the ball, about playing beautiful football.

2. What on earth does England do when Owen goes off??? The idiot should have done what everyone on the planet told him to do and take Bent or Defoe!!!

3. All the top teams would have watched that match and thought, whats all the hype about, they aint all that good.

4. England should not hold back, they should play the beautiful game of football and forget everything else, they are capable of beating anyone including Brazil but they really need to change their tactics and play a more clever passing game and be quicker on the counter attack.
