Over 2. 5 goals.

I think we will see our 1st high scoring game of the world cup as England take on the Usa in their opening fixture.

Obviously all the talk about England is can they defend ?

No one is quite sure which keeper will get the nod. I believe it will be James but as everyone knows hes a bit hit or miss. Sometimes outstanding sometimes woeful. Hes not the kind of keeper you have a great deal of confidence in and you always worry the big blunder is just round the corner.

The back 4 is not perfect either. Rio is out ofcourse and Terry has had a poor season at Chelsea with some problems off the field.

Going forward England have a lot of quality and thats why they are up there with the favs. Rooney is one of the top strikers in the world and in Lampard and Gerrard they have players who can shoot from any distance. Id hope Milner starts wide and early team news is true.

Usa are certainly a nation that continue to improve and one thing we can expect from them is effort. A lot of pundits in the States are saying they have a hopeless defence and that is the reason they wont go further than the groups. But there is some quality in the attack with Donovan, Altidore and Dempsey. 4-5-1 sounds the best formation to give England some problems. Very pacey with and they also have Beasley in reserve.

I expect a good game tonight. England look very strong and powerful in attack but there is a question mark over the back 5. I think USA can score in this game but i cant seem them keeping Rooney and co out. England should get off a nice start with a few goals.
