Go England!

The drinking in the Uk has started, after all it IS a Sat**day night !!!

The police have their overtime & shields / batons @ the ready......

England will probably lose on penalties, & no doubt some token German fan will be thrown off a pier......

Yep it's the World Cup for sure !!!!!

Very tough to say who will win. I'd say this is not a game you want to bet real money on.

What happened in recent matches is barely relevant in games like this. Both teams are pressured and team psychology (during the game) will be a most important factor imo. My best guess is that the team who will receive the first goal won't likely do much (except perhaps in the last 10 minutes when they don't have much to lose anymore). This is especially true for Germany as the players are less experienced. What happened against Serbia is an example of this, Klose got a red and the team got frustrated, almost instantly took a goal, and couldn't do much to change the score afterwards. On the other hand, England's offense will likely struggle to score. That said, a draw is still probable but based on the above I would say 0-0 is a bit more probable than 1-1.

As for Argentina vs Mexico, all I can think is it will be a higher-scoring game than the other one, and Argentina will win.

Germany  0-2  England
Argentina  2-1  Mexico
