Can they win it? Never say never in football!! Denmark came off the beaches to win the European Championship when they hadn’t even originally qualified back in 1992.
Greece won the same tournament in 2004 when they were the rank outsiders so who knows what will happen in Brasil.
The only problem I have with Roy Hodgson is that he is a safety first manager and he will set up teams in my opinion where he hopes they can win rather than go out and expect to win.
If I was the manager I would just go for it, after all nothing has happened in over 48 years so what has he got to lose!!
I would set up 4-1-4-1 with the following players:
Hart
Johnson Cahill Jagielka Baines
Gerrard
Chamberlain Wilshere Barkley Sterling
Sturridge
That side has pace, players who can run with the ball in numerous positions and have no fear. It will concede goals no doubt but with those front five there is excitement and expectation. I would have played that side in a few friendlies to see how they gelled.
As for my thoughts to who will win the World Cup, as much as I would like Brasil, I think they may fall short and I think Messi and Argentina will prevail with Spain another one who could win it again.
