I don't like the English NT, simply because you've got one of the least likeable squads out there, it's got nothing to do with fear. Every tournament you hear the English going on about how impressive their team are and what not.
I have to admit though, since you have a manager with a tactical brain in charge you look quite a bit better, so you might end up doing pretty good this WC. I hope not, but for the first time in a while, at least some of the.. errrr let's call it optimism, seems to have a valid reason.
But, sure, we're all scared of England.
