I didnt expect this result...of course I am glad for my  english friends here in the board...but I didnt expect  england to have such an easy match.... 3-0 
 
  with erickson england seems to be a team better in defense,  that waits for a good oportunity to kill their opponents  without taking any risk in their back lines, and they have  beckam and owen to deal with their quality

I think England could work some more on their offensive  play.
  These goals where caused by danish screw ups in the deffense  imo , it will take more to win in the future.

well probably next match will be against brazil, so ...
  even though brazil has great players, they dont play that  good as a team, and this is very important to beat a team  that has a solid defense such as the erickson´s england...  so if english manage to keep their goal on 0 they make take  a chance on corners and some genious pass by beckam... I  think england can beat brazil...though in theory brazil has  my vote to pass

I agree. England is very strong when it comes to corner situations. I think they can beat Brazil if they can keep their heads  cool.
  They have very very strong suport in japan , i think that  helps to.
 
  Mills has problems with his temper , i predict a red card in  next game if not Erickson has a talk with him.

article:
  England went two goals ahead in the opening half hour and  controlled the sluggish Danes from there out to win a place  in the quarter-finals. England will meet the victor of the  Brazil v. Belgium match. 
  Rio Ferdinand, Michael Owen, and Emile Heskey were the  goal-scoring heroes, though a fit-again David Beckham was  consistently outstanding for the English. Denmark, who slew  France in the opening round, never seemed to recover from  the early deficit in Niigata. It's the FIRST time that  Denmark have failed to score in a FIFA World Cupâ„¢ match

A good example of Englands strenght was the corner goal  against sweden.
  The experts on swedish TV showed it on rerun after the game  and explained how everybody new exactly where to stand and  run , they completely fooled the swedes.
  Owen for example stood in front of our goalie (Hedman) and  blocked him so he could not reach the ball in time , a  classic basketball "screening" .
  Campbel came from nowhere and was completely free to use his  head.

so far we have england and germany in the best 8 of the  world cup... who will meet them?
  probably:
  BRAZIL - belgium MEXICO - usa ITALY - korea SWEDEN - senegal
  and then those who win their matches between:
  spain and ireland turkey and japan
  which are the most equilibrated matches I think.
  anyway my heart of course tells me that we could pass so I  would bet for:
 
  SPAIN - ireland JAPAN - turkey
  so:
  germany - mexico italy - spain
  brazil - england japan - sweden

You don't need to , you got Raul =) I love that guy , he doesen't look like a profesional  football player , he look like a lazy guy working with  computers or something cause he is so skinny.
  But still he is one of the best!! I remember his goal against Poland (i think?) , fooling one  player completely and shooting the goal tunnel thru another  player in the same move , Amazig!!!

  korea - portugal- (1-0) brazil - costa rica .... the one edmilson scored
  brazil - turkey. the one ronaldo scored
  spain - slovenia.... the one by valeron (it was the 2-0)
  paraguay - slovenia....the one that cuevas scored (it was the 3-1)
  senegal - uruguay (it was scored by diop in a great strike  back...it was the 2-0)
 
  rusia - japan ...the only goal was scored... by inamoto.     (1-0)
 
  I cant think of any other right now

cogratulation England. thank to them  i won for my bet. this game is one-sided victory. anyway england is very strong. that's why they took advantage of a few chance to strike a goal. they are threat.

yeah, I watched a game between, hmmm who was it? Ummm, I  forget now, but it was fantastic... one team got off to a  2-0 lead or something, then they eventually scored another  goal, and the other team came back and at least got it to  within one goal, or maybe even tied it... I can't remember!!  But it was an excellent game!! :)

sengal - sweden
  ireland - spain
  make your bets what do you think will happen??? I think sweden should win senegal cos the swedish team is so  organized and well defending and also have good strikers...  in general a very competitive team... senegal on the other  hand has some other skills such as a tremendous power, speed  and therefore a great strike back...but they are not as  disciplined as the swedish...

article
  Historically, the Spanish and the Irish have been connected  in many ways. However, these two nations with turbulent 20th  century histories have never met in the final stages of a  European Championship or a FIFA World Cupâ„¢ and they have  very different reputations on the world footballing stage. 
  The Spanish are regarded by many as the most famous  underachievers in FIFA World Cup history, while the Irish  can make a claim to being consistent overachievers for the  past 15 years.

Ok .. swap denmark with england in my prediction .. 
  could be a england spain final after all!!! ... have to say  sven is doing a wonderful job - mercenary and calculated to  the bone - but hell effective.
 
  And yeah, i reckon england definetly (if they play like they  have) capable of beating brazil, but its one of those  matches where anything could happen - a red card could  destroy either team ??

Sweden-Senegal 1-1 in first half. Shit!!!!! it's not looking good at all. Its all Senegal , they are given to much space and time. We must control the ball more. Senegal plays dirty to , lots of arms. Someone need to tell them this is not hockey for christ  sake!!!!!!
  One swede in bandage alredy , crappy refere.
  Not good at all.... I hope sweden pull together their team in second half.
