Yeah, Spain. Or Brazil. My fantasy football team at work is counting on that! England were pretty weak last night. South Korea and Argentina have been the stand-out performances so far.

I'm a quarter Scottish myself, so it always upsets me when my fellows north of the border express their hatred for England. On the occasions when Scotland have sneaked into the finals, I always give them full support!

Spain will win.

After England's performance last night they just don't have the players to win the tournament. They'll make the top two in their group along with USA, and I hope and pray that either Argentina or Germany put them out - I'm a Scotsman and we're shit, so every World Cup where England qualify it always brings to surface my inner patriot/racist.... Only kidding.

Anyway, Spain will win. Look at their players and you'll see why.

Well the loss of Rio Ferdinand has convinced pretty much everyone in England to prepare for the worst yet again, but thanks for those positive words guys!

I'm really hearing a lot of people betting on England.

I think this could be the year of an underdog, and England sure is one.

Does anyone care about the World Cup that is starting today?

I think Portugal (my country) will be a dissapointment, although we do have the 2nd best player in the world righ now, Cristiano Ronaldo (being the best one Messi from Argentina).

My bet for the win is Spain.
