England have looked really rather bad in the two warm-up games so far, and as much as I know plenty of people will want them to lose, I'd like them to do well, but don't think they'll get beyond the quarter-finals. They're not sure of their formation, they're gambling on getting Barry into shape, and too many players are recovering from injuries, or in the case of Ledley King, permanently playing through an injury.

As for who will win, I'd love to see someone new get their hands on the trophy, anyone outside the usual suspects. Or Spain if I'm being boring.

This I don't understand as her really isn't that important and there are plenty of players who could perform in the same role. He has been, overall, quite poor this season.
