England

We shall see my friend. The group table selection will be held on December 4th in Cape Town. It will make all the difference in the world having an easy group. We will be going in as a seeded team which means they will keep us away from teams Like Spain, Brazil and Germany. But teams like Argentina, France and Portugal will be paired up with the seeded teams. If we are lumped up with for example Argentina and Ivory Coast and maybe Australia or Korea it won't be so easy to advance from a group like that. So lets hope for some lottery magic for an easy ride to the knockout stage.

Not trying to be rude mate but you implied England had an easy walk to South Africa. I simply put up the stats to back up our dominance. If you look at the rankings of all other European teams England was the only team to have two other sides in the top 25. I brought up Italy because they won last time round in Germany.

we did have an easy group but we scored like 4 or 5 goals in nearly evrey match did u see our goal ratio its like... well i don't know the ratio but im sure its gud

We had Croatia currently ranked 10th in the world and Ukraine currently ranked 24 in the world. By no means was it an easy table, if anyone was handed a trip to South Africa it was The Netherlands. And if you want to really get into it France (thanks to FIFA and Platini). European qualification is never easy and England did it in a dominating fashion. they led Europe in goals scored and differential. Just last week England patched together what would be considered at best a second squad and only lost to the best team in the world by 1 goal. We (England supporters) are feeling very good about South Africa. Can't wait to see the tables.

By th way England's goals for ratio was 3.4 and goals against was 0.6. Italy's was 1.8 for and 0.7 against. Not much to brag about. Please check your stats before you make uninformed comments.
