England will win IF the right formation is played. The 4-4-2 is archaic and needs to be scrapped. As so many have been crowing for:
James (Though I still would play Hart)
Johnson Dawson Terry A. Cole
Barry Lampard
Lennon Gerrard J. Cole
Rooney
England's most balanced team in my opinion. What England need IS confidence. They need to realize that you must take risks to win, not be content for the draw, which obviously would leave them in a dire position.
Problem is, Capello is a stubborn, stubborn man. I hate to make the reference but his resistance to changes is becoming Rafa Benitez-like. Coaches, especially on the world stage, must be flexible and must put their team in the best position to win. They must motivate their players as much as coach them and I've seen far too little positive reinforcement from Capello. For all of Maradona's madness on the sideline, at least you can see how much joy he has and I think it is extending to his team.
I'm rooting hard for the US but most of my favorite players are on England, so I'd like to see them progress as well.
England 3 Slovenia 0
