Can England Win It This Time Around?

This year’s World Cup is being hosted in South Africa and many are saying Spain, Brazil, Argentina and England are the favourites. I can see Spain and Brazil being the favourites but I am not sure about the other two. Brazil and Spain have always been known for their passing and movements and the fast pitches in South Africa will definitely suit them. Ball skids through when any type of long ball is played forward and it runs away from the players.

 

England do have a passing game but I am not sure why they don’t play their normal game when they start playing. The problem England have is they get too defensive after they score a goal, there is no confidence in the team to go get another or just to keep the ball. After that they just look for long ball and expect someone to hold it. This is not going to work in these pitches in South Africa.

 

Argentina is also many people’s favourites but I just don’t feel they have the defence of 1986 or even 1990. Though they do have a genius called Lionel Messi. He was a bit unlucky not to score in the first game because the Nigerian keeper has an outstanding game but Messi was by far the best player in the pitch. If Messi plays well and Argentine defend as a team they might have a chance to win the World cup. Who can tell what will happen?

 

I am a amateur online poker player and for this World cup I have decided no poker only football and back England fully. In the past I have won few full tilt poker and PKR poker tournaments so I am a poker addict but for this tournament I will give it all up.
