First 2 are, in my opinion, hilariously overrated players.

Don't think Falcoa is overrated in any way, Ribery, yes

What can we actually say? Saying we can get out of a pretty tough group is a realistic expectation for this team, however that's apparently downplaying. Yet should anyone suggest they could do more than that are overrating them and calling them World Beaters?

I have no idea what we're even meant to say without being criticised & people thinking there's some pre-agenda (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Also, agreed on Ribery, almost never turns up in big games.

The problem is that it's your own media that will feast on the leftovers the most gleefully, which I find relatively hilarious.

Like I said above, I expect England to qualify, some of the things I read and listened to were even trying to downplay that possibility.

Every time I read something about England they're making a point of mentioning how the team is going into their first tournament in a while without all the hype. Imo they're hyping the young players the most, and if they fail to show up I'd hate to think the reception they'll get

Only one will. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) England lose against Italy, they are out, they draw they are out, they win, Italy is out. I am fairly confident that beating Uruguay in their continent is going to be tough for both teams. They have the most world titles for a reason. All relatively safe guesses, of course, but I feel that only one of Italy or England will move ahead.
