We played well today and I didn't expect us to be 5-0 up at half-time but still a long way to go. The real test will be against Belgium and with both teams wanting to finish 2nd to have an easier route it will be interesting to see what will happen in the Belgium game. Looking at how the other teams are playing at the World Cup so far, England should fear no one and keep playing the way they're playing and what will be will be.

Worked out a possible route which England could get to the final.
Round of 16
France beat Argentina
Portugal beat Uruguay
Spain beat Russia
Croatia beat Denmark
*Switzerland beat Germany
*England beat Senegal
*Mexico beat Brazil
*Belgium beat Japan
*This all depends on who finishes where though in the groups.
Quarter-finals
France beat Portugal
England beat Switzerland
Mexico beat Belgium
Croatia beat Spain
Semi-finals
England beat France
Mexico beat Croatia
Final
England vs Mexico
England beating France is debatable but not impossible.

Matt, you need to go outside and do some keepie-uppies in the back yard.
