In the pleasingly intricate World Cup prediction competition here, I said this about England's chances:
Too prone to giving the ball away to win the World Cup, England will nonetheless prosper against sides lacking the pace or guile to punish them on the break, and, fortunately for England but perhaps not for the standard of football, there are a fair number of those in the competition.
Other than a referee who either needed a white stick and a dog, or was somehow related to the Paraguay coach, pretty much faultless favouring the South Americans, that's pretty much a fair comment on both the standard of the game and England's prospects.
