[Alik]

one thing is for sure:

 

[mateopol]

Italy and Uruguay will go through.

 

[ManusXavi]

First Italy. Second Uruguay
Italy to beat England.
England vs Uruguay - draw
Italy vs Uruguay - Draw

1st Uruguay
2nd Italy

 

[FC B]

England looks shit like it used us to.

 

[Behrox]

inb4 Costa Rica makes it out of the group

 

[AnfieldEd]

England will lose/draw to Italy and beat Uruguay and Costa Rica imo. Apart from the front two the rest of the Uruguay team (apart from Godin) is completely average - to shit.

I can't see that Uruguay defence holding out. Which is why I see them finishing 3rd.

I also predict Costa Rica is get one surprising result - either beating Uruguay or drawing with Italy.

There's a chance we might make it out of the group.

Am not sure we will, but "IF" we do, I'd fancy us to make QF's against probably Brazil.

I'd settle for that.

Getting to the quarters would be a great result for Roy's young team. This England team is actually pretty good to watch, good going forward but a lottery when defending. All in all great entertainment which is the spark that has been missing in recent times. I hope that they go out there and just play without any fear.

This is the pitch where Italy and England will play. Hopefully Xavi doesn't see these images because he will lose it.

That's terrible. But Xavi should be safe. The pitch here in Salvador is good. The manaus arena is one of the worse in planning, I'm not surprised the pitch is in such bad conditions.

 

[Egert]

Damn, this is the most hardest group. I just can't predict who goes through. Maybe Italy first and England 2nd?? But I hope Uruguay instead of England.

 

[Galning]

Allas made a good point on Twitter. When Xavi complains people tell him he should stfu but now a lot of Englishmen are going bonkers I present to you La Rosaleda pre-Barça game.

 

[Flavia]

The pitch full of flowers
That one was really ridiculous.
