Nuremburg Nightmare or German Glory?

You can get 7/1 for England to win 4-0 later this afternoon and I would have thought that is a minimum requirement against a team of out of contract players, defenders from Gillingham and Wrexham and a goalkeeper playing his penultimate professional game.

Forget all those apologists who say there are no easy games in World Football, there are and this is one of them. If, as we are constantly reminded, England possess three, four or even five World Class players then this is the type of game they should stand up and be counted. On paper this is the biggest mismatch since England met San Marino, fortunately Stuart Pearce will be working for ITV rather than scuffing a backpass, and if we don't win by a minimum of four clear goals there had be some pretty good excuses lined up.

  • To tell you truth, if we win by 2 but put in a really good performance I'll be happy. You're right we should win by 4, but I think you can't build your hopes too much. We just need to improve and then explode when Rooney's back fit, take the whole fucking world by surprise.
