England v United States, World Cup Group C, Match 5

They say you save the best to last and this game might very well be the best of the day. You have England on one side, who really should do better than they do and on the other, you've got the United States, who do a lot better than they should.

On paper, this is an easy game however, it is England every day, but the United States will fight for everything, as if their lives depended on it and that might very well frustrate England and if it do it long enough, there is a chance England will make a mistake or two.

The best thing the United States could do tonight would be to sit back and counter attack England coming forward and if they play that way, they might stand a chance of getting something out of the game.

If they don't and they attack England, they will concede and if they do not learn from that and continue down that path, they could very well lose by two or three.

Prediction

This is a tough game to predict for lots of reasons but we are having a bet today with South Korea, Argentina and England all the slip.

It comes down to the quality of player for us. England have quality players throughout the squad that would walk into any team and because the United States play a similar game to England, logic dictates if the style is similar but England have better players, that is where the result is going. But logic was used for our bet. We also wouldn't be surprised if it was a draw.

We are having a free £25 bet with Betfair and it is going on England, South Korea and Argentina. If you click here you can have one too.

View from the Opposition

United States defender, Jonathan Spector
There will be some great bragging rights in England next season if we manage to win. We are not expected to get anything from it where as the other two games there will be pressure.
England coach, Fabio Capello
I think the players are really happy at this moment - physically and mentally. We've had nine days of real focus on this game and we're sure we will go forward in this competition.
