I'm not so sure anymore.

 

[zizinho]

i think they will put up a good fight against both, Uruguay and Italy. i can see them eventualy getting a draw in these two matches. but i can also see them fail against Costa Rica

Very difficult to say. I think Uruguay, England and Italy all have the same chance to go through. It'll be very tight.

Uruguay will outperform both and potentially beat both.

Their midfield is absolute garbage.

Really? I'm basing my opinion on back in 2011, haven't really followed much. But I doubt, England would phase them, and Italy will underperform as usual. In 2010 too they were very impressive as well, don't know man, but I think/mostly hope they'd go far in this tournament.

They have a decent defense and a formidable attack with Cavani and Suarez but their midfield is very poor.

I don't see Italy doing very well at this world cup because of the defense, I don't like that back four at all.

Uruguay will be dangerous because this tournament is in SA, otherwise besides their amazing strikers, I don't really rate their team that highly. Barely changed since 2010, a lot of old passengers in there still.

Godin, Caceres, Muslera, Maxi Pereira

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

I like Godin and Caceres.

The best!

Agreed.Very hard to predict but in the end,i give the edge to England and Italy.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

Cahill - Jagielka against Suarez - Cavani

 

[Trequartista]

Cahill is a good defender.

 

[Juventino[RUS]]

gimme more of this shit, henderson is better than DDR?

 

[Xperd]

I think whoever gets knocked out of this group,it will be a very harsh exit something like Napoli's exit in the CL last season.All three teams have very good chances to go through,no doubt about it but i will stick with England and Italy for now.None will breeze through this group for sure so it becomes even more harder to predict the group winner.

Costa Rica game i think will hold the key for each of these three teams and the subsequent goal difference may well decide the standings in the group.

England's overall team is pretty good.Good midfield,very good attack and a decent defense.Pretty balanced side imo.

Nah De Rossi is definitely better. Doesn't change the fact that Gary Cahill is a good defender.

Also Gerrard,Henderson,Wilshere,Sterling,Sturridge,Rooney,Oxlade,Barkley.They might not have south american-esque flair and fancy but imo they're a pretty talented side.

 

[Trequartista]

Definitely. However, I don't rate Woy.

I think it's a pretty open group, I rate none of England, Italy and Uruguay particularly highly and we shouldn't forget that Italy always starts slowly.
