The United States will beat Slovenia today and possibly quite comfortably. We also expect England to win tonight but we worry they will make it difficult and they must also match or do better than the United States.

England must score goals tonight because it might very well come down to goal difference, if as all expect, England and the United States both win their next two matches.

So, we are sorry to say this, but Emile Heskey needs to be dropped for tonight. It isn't just about getting the best out of Rooney - it is about scoring goals tonight and Heskey doesn't score that often and England need someone that can score without having someone else on the pitch.

If it hasn't become obvious, England need to score goals because England need to win the group. The chances are that whoever wins Group C will play Ghana, Serbia or Australia, the runner up of Group D.

Coming second in the Group will probably see that team play Germany - the winner of Group D and you know what happens when England play Germany. England don't want to come second.

Yes, if you are going to win the World Cup you need to beat the best and Germany might not beat Serbia this afternoon or Slovenia might beat the United States, but chances are they will and why not try and make it a little easier?

If the United States win today and they win big, it will put pressure on Fabio Capello to score goals too because we fancy goal scored are going to be quite important in this group.

in our opinion, England need to play with Defoe or he needs to play Rooney up front by himself and use Joe Cole and put Gerrard just behind Rooney - he can't play Heskey - he takes up a place, doesn't help Rooney score that many and doesn't score himself.

Sorry, Emile and ironically, if it was the final, we'd play you for your experience and your ability to hold the ball up, but in a game where we need goals, you have to sit on the bench.
