Where they will be beaten by the future Lord Southgate's brave boys. England's Brave John Terry is ironing his strip ready to lift the trophy.

Yeah, they're on our side of the draw.

If... curses it again... we got to the final, it would be someone from the left hand side of the draw:

I'm not sure we'd have beaten Belgium with our first team out and there's a real chance of losing to Colombia, but the draw has really opened up for England (till the final anyway).

For several reasons I'd like England to avoid playing Russia. I think with all the politics going on at the moment it'd make for an uncomfortable pre-match atmosphere. Russia have had a decent run, time for them to get knocked out by Croatia.
