My four point plan to win the World Cup for England

a . word


1 . overwhelming

definition : very large or greater, more important etc than any other

2 . earmark

context : If the squad numbers are anything to go by, Capello’s opening game side does not include Gareth Barry, with Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard earmarked as partners in central midfield.

3 . presence

context : Crouch has a presence that is worrying for defenders and is always a threat at set-pieces.

The World cup is in South Africa .
I think that England , Brazil and Spain are the favorites in this World Cup .
But , England tied the United States 1 - 1 in a first game .
The boll of the convention is difficult to predict shoots .

Yesterday , JAPAN won Cameroon 1 - 0 .
I was very fevered .
