I'm not really looking forward to it to be honest (which sounds a bit strange after the Confederations Cup), we lost an important player and I think were going to struggle to score goals, that's the thing about our team, Charlie Davies, who we lost, is not even really one of our top five players but we have no depth, nobody to replace him, I just feel like were going to go out in the first round.
I have to admit I laugh from time to time at England's lack of success but if they have a striker go out then they can put in Defoe, or Carlton Cole, Emile Heskey (it just makes me laugh, he's not bad I guess) for whatever reason we never produce strikers, our two best attacking players are our attacking mids Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey. And Davies actually looked like a real actual goal scorer for a while there. Oh well.
Plus American soccer fans are kind of conspiracy theorists. If there's a sport where anti-Americanism could play some part it would be soccer/football and the World Cup, reasonable or not (probably not) we kind of assume we'll get put in with three good teams.
Edit-I am looking forward to the World Cup overall, I love it, always have, since before I even knew there was a Premier League, etc. Just not looking forward to our chances.
