England is indeed overrated (almost certainly), but that doesn't equate
to the U.S.A. team being able to beat them. If Arsenal are overrated in
a given year, that doesn't mean that Xerez is likely to beat them. ;)

Unlikely it might be but how many people actually thought Korea was able to
beat
Italy in 2002 or North Korea beating Italy or amteurs from USA beating pro
from
England in 1950? I think USA team has a good chance to beat England and
there is
nothing for certain in any sports.

I think that the USA team is much better than most think and that the
English team is nowhere near as good as their fans and biased sports
presenters on Sky, the BBC, and ITV think. Having said that, I'd still
rate Team USA's chances tonight at about 30%.

That's higher than many biased sport presenters on Sky, BBC, and ITV
think.

The English are playing very well and should win this one. But USA has
the team spirit. Its gonna be fun. I am supporting the USA but I hope
both make it to the next round.
