How do the Fans of other countries think this tournamant is opening out,whos looking good and who's in a false position,have the Germans peaked too soon or are they coming good at the right time,are the Italians grinding out the results and in tick over mode just doing enough ready for the big guns,will the French come good or are they over the hill,are Brazil really that good or are they another country doing just enough at this stage,did the Argentines get a wake-up call from the Mexicans or was that a typical South American Derby that will help them overcome complacency,are England really as bad as the English make them out to be or are we concerned over nothing,are we underestimating the quality of Spanish international football and could they be in line for the cup?
It would be interesting to have your views.

In Holland and Germany people don't think England will go much further. They haven't "convinced" anyone of their qualities. Don't play like a team. They have much of the same problems Holland had.

Argentina, Germany and Brazil are the bookies favs.

So its not just the English then that arent convinced lol,ime trying to be positive and look at us patiently,thinking that we are a tournament team who's tactics err on the side of caution and that maybe when we meet a big team we will raise our game,anyway thats enough of England.
Its a shame to lose Holland as technically i thought they were a better team than Portugal and if it wasnt for the over the top tackle on Ronaldo by the dutch player,and had they shown more Discipline then they could have beaten the Portugese,as it was IMO i thought the tackle on Ronaldo was the starting point were the ref and players lost it.
Germany are my Favourites and at the moment they look unbeatable,beating all those put in front of them.
