That groups going to be interesting, I could easily see Spain, Chile and Switzerland all with 6 points. Chile really should have beat Honduras 3-0 or so instead of 1-0, could hurt them in the end.

Oh for fuck's sake, France is awful.
England are lucky if they can make three passes before they give the ball away. Our technique is wanting at international level. From five years old the kids are put on a full size pitch, the two biggest kids are the centre halfs and they're told to lump it up to the strikers when they get the ball. This kick and rush style is what every single school level team does all the way through their teens up to the point where they sign for clubs. Meanwhile abroad a pitch gets split into five across and five five-a-side games get played, the kids get dozens of times more touches than the English kids watching the ball soar over their heads all game. Consequently they can pass, control the ball, dribble etc. infinitely better than English kids. Just watch any international and watch our centre halfs hoof it up, then watch teams pass us off the park. And in summer tournaments constantly giving the ball away means we're knacked by the second half. Luckily it's night games in their winter out there but our technique is still worse than everybody else, we'll go out on penalties or a straight defeat in the quarters.
I'll only say this where is the team from who has won the most CL? ;)
Chile the dark horses. I think they look fucking shit hot. Play some nice football.
Paraguay are looking pretty nifty as well, Lucas Barrios is a great finisher.
