England are one of the teams aiming not only to do well but win the World Cup.
They have however recently suffered a huge setback with Wayne Rooney getting injured.
They also have key striker Michael Owen in similar problems, along with defender Ashley Cole.
Ranked no9 in the world, through some good peformances against Austria, Poland, England cruised through their group on top to qualify, suffering only 1 defeat against Northern Ireland.

Owen believes that England are contenders because they have alot of players that are simply World Class.

Paul Gasgoine is one of the best ever English Midfielders, he is remembered as a skilful but controversial English Player.

Gazza made the grade in both club football and International duties.
He then moved over to Lazio, but was troubled by Drugs and alcohol.
Then moving onto Glasgow Rangers, he resurructed his career.
This however didnt last long, as injuries hit, followed by family problems.
His career then took him back to England, but retired after admitting he was a Drug Addict.

He may not have the talent and the genius of Cristiano Ronaldo and the finishing ability of Ruud van Nistelrooy, but he is there when his team needs him the most. Paul Scholes started playing of club team and will probably end his career there. He is certainly included in the "Hall of Fame" of his team. He is a hard working attacking midfielder that backs up his teammates. He is their guardian angel. He is Paul Scholes.

The battle of British island: England vs. Scotland. With its typical spectacular style, England scores a nice goal. David Seaman sends a long ball, two short passes and the ball is given to Paul Gascoigne. The genius midfielder takes over the ball, lobs a defender and smashes it in with powerful shot.

A match between England and Poland is always a "must see" game. Both team have an athletic style of playing and their philosophy is: the best defense method is by attacking. After England did several consecutive passes, the ball goes to Jermaine Defoe who is in the box with a defender behind him. What he did next proved he is a top class footballer. He turn with the ball tricking the man next to him and tried a low drive that went into the net.
