England vs Japan (spoiler warning - if you haven't seen the England v Japan match)
England playing Japan, 87 minutes gone - 3 goals scored all by Japan ... score 2-1 to England.
Totally unrealistic  PS - Despite missing his pen today Lampard actually has a 'reasonable' record at penalties for England, 4 in 6 ... not a great record, but considering the pressure not 'bad' (and his 'miss' today was actually a decent shot imho).

I saw most of the first half and England was really sloppy. Missed the 2nd half and the 2 OG's but saw the score and was relieved (that they at least won). But doesn't sound like a really good performance at all.
And also, England's jerseys looked orange (and I knew that they shouldn't be wearing orange) to me on my TV, but my TV stinks so that could be it, but I found it to be a bit odd. |

The corner goal for Japan was well worked but imho should have been blocked by the man on the post (thats what he's there for after all). On the plus side England looked MUCH more dangerous after the subs were made at half-time, suffice to say I'm not expecting Bent to be in the WC squad (he's a great club player but for some reason he doesn't seem to step up to the international level at all). Lampard and Gerrard both looked competant without excelling, tbh I think a lot of the chaps were trying to ensure they didn't get injured to at least some extent.

 I personally think it'll be a tight match, I reckon England will clinch it though probably 2-1 - but if the US hold it goaless to half-time then England will start getting desperate to score and there's the chance England would well throw it way on the break, alternatively if England score early on and USA chase it then it could end up nasty.

I'm trying not to get sucked into the England hype. If things line up right, Argentina, Spain, Italy will all be on the other side of the bracket. Only Brazil is likely to be in the way before the Final. England should win the group, I don't know about the US finishing 2nd...depends on which team shows up.

The US tends to play much better against football royalty (England definitely qualifies) than the teams more on their level. For that reason I'm really dreading our draw. We're going to play England tight (draw or lose a close one), and then lose to Slovenia and Algeria. If you don't believe me, then you must have missed our matches in recent years against Poland, Iran, and Ghana.
