"Can we beat Brasil?"

We now know we Face Brasil in the next round of the World Cup, before this cup began a lot of people were writing off Englands chances to even qulify from the famously named 'group of death' let alone be facing one of the best teams in the world in the Quarter finals.

They said "England wont qualify" - We did

They said "England will be lucky to get anything from Argentina" - We Did

They said "It will be diffcult to Beat Denmark" - But We won it fairly easily.

England keep on defying the odds, but does now come the hardest game we have played in this tournament having beaten the favorites?

I was the first to write off Brasil's chances before the WC began because I felt that their form was not good, but they have been playing really well and come through their group with ease, but have they been tested? They certainly don't look brilliant at the back and I think we can certainly exploit them, as Belgium showed.

I think England are now a team that noone really wants to face, and with the Likes of Seamen, Nicky Butt, Rio Ferdinand and Becks coming into form at the right time, I think we can beat them and if we do I think we will go on to win thw World Cup.

What do you think?

Yeh but you not lookin at who Brasil have beaten are you? China are not a good team. Costa Rica are average but they still gave Brazil a Scare. Turkey + Belgium are good but not as good as England and Brazil scraped through them.

As for England they had to play Argentina, Sweden, Nigeria and Denmark and are through to the quaters. I cant belive people can say they can beat brazil having come through that hard group and beaten the favorites for the world cup - Argentina.

Are you Brazilian?

They have had rubbish teams so far yet have still looked poor while England defeated the pre-tournament favourites Argentina and stuffed the team which beat France so easily.

England have only won two (scraped the first) and brazil have won all four of there matches and there fifth win is on friday.

England have conceided 1 Goal in this tournament doesnt that show how well their defence is playing?

and the fact that brazil will always score more than concieded.

The only reason I can see is the time of day they are playing. Brazil will have the advantage with the temperture side but if England play like they should then they will walk away with a win.

to ask you "simply" - why not?

to put it simply "can England beat Brazil?" NO

England can beat Brazil as long as they play with sence they have the players that can defend and they have the players that can score but they also need the luck that has been with them so far too. Do remember England have beaten Brazil before and they can do it again.

I agree with Neo on this one, cos Rio is a superb defender truly is the best. Yeah Seamans old but he still has a few years left in him say about two. Like Neo said that cup is are's!!
