Argentina have patently peaked too early and will slowly fizzle out as the tournament progresses.
England, however, are pacing themselves beautifully and cunningly luring the opposition into a false sense of security.  |

And we're working on that strategy again in the Sweden game by replacing Gerrard with Hargreaves.

After almost all games in the first round my vote goes to Argentina because they look like a team and they have world class players. But they don't look invincible, the defenders have their limits and Argentina have problemes when they are chased (like holland did at some moments).
Brasil is another favorite but until now I miss the usual convincing spirit, they depend too much on actions by Ronaldinho, Kaka, Ronaldo and Robinho.
And what about Holland? Well, at this moment there are again heated discussions about the line-up but I am afraid that every pressure from the press makes Van Basten a more obstinate and cynical coach ...  .. In theory we can beat every team on this tournament but the same goes for the Germans with their mentality, spirit and home advantage.

Although, may I add...I don't hate Brazillians or Italians.  Don't want France to win either......will they qualify even?
