As always, I can’t wait for it to begin, been a four yearly highlight ever since I was a kid.
As an England supporter, I have no real expectations going into this tournament & will enjoy it all the more because of it. Nothing to lose mentality & will be more than happy with a quarter final appearance & build for the euros in 2016.
We have a good mix of experience, Gerrard/Lampard/Rooney, combined with a genuine pool of young talent, Barkley/Sterling/Oxlade Chamberlain. Although the latter got injured playing against Ecuador in Miami last night.
I’d single out Ross Barkley as one to watch for us, he’s only 20, but has bags of pace & skill, he’s a game changer & could be the surprise package of this world cup.
I love watching most of the countries play, nowt like placing a bet on a good game & sinking a few beers, my flags will also be unfolded once again.
