From: gsn on 4 Jun 2010 09:22 England could not score against Japan. Also Mexico had a good game vs England. In CONCAF , as Dwight said in another thread, Mexico is only the third best team. The US usually plays better than Mexico and wins more often than not. So it looks like it is possible to beat England (or atleast split points)? - gsn
From: Mike Babyak on 4 Jun 2010 09:31 Possible, but still not likely. That said, odds got a shade better today with Rio going down with a knee injury. The injury bug seems contagious--Drogba has apparently fractured his elbow. gsn wrote: > England could not score against Japan.

Ok, but then the US couldn't defend against non qualifiers Turkey (who could have been 3-0 up within about 20 minutes), so where does that leave us? > So it looks like it is possible to beat England (or atleast split > points)? Anything is possible, knowing the way England sometimes stutter in the group stage perhaps a draw is the more likely result? RM

Remember, you heard it here first!!:-)
