England have a better chance in this WC than in others. They don't appear to have had the pre tourney injury doubts over key players and the squad seems happier. Although their manager is a numpty.
However, although I think its possible they will do well, I think they'll probably implode at some stage. Hopefully Germany win the damn thing then we can hump them in the Autumn and declare ourselves Unofficial World Champions yet again.
Korea 2002??u know how corrupt that was, Italy 2 goles annulled, spain 1,Korea was horrible cheating, i dont compare that with another teams...
And well as to spain i dont know but a team with 3 titles in a row and their quality i think they can strike back, lost 2010 vs Switzerland first game an we know what happened. I think few teams go through with 9 points...

Everyone know this but still they did it and you can't say that they played bad or something.
Look back at France, they won WC in 98, Europen Cup in 2000 and what they did in 2002? 1 point only, in a group with Senegal, Danmark and Uruguay.
Another good exemple (euro 2000), Romania finished on second place in group A with Germany, Portugal and England.
I'm just saying that Chile can do a good game against Spain but as well Spain can win without big problems WC again because they have very great players.
If Chile get 2 draws, against Spain & Croatia, and Croatia beat Australia, Spain will be out.

Spain and Croatia?? The group is spain Netherlands and Australia...
Yes sure, Italy went home 2010 as defending champion in the group stage, everything can happen, germany 2000 and 2004 we went home after group stage too and 1998 after quarter final. I just say i would not be surprised if spain nails australia and Chile by 3 goles each, they have player who always can strike back and im sure Netherlands dont win this, there is a reason why they only have the 88title...
The Netherlands have never won the World Cup, and there wasn't one in 88 - what title are you meaning?
