    Having the last 2 world champions in our group doesnt exactly fill me with confidence TBH.

    It's more realism than low expectations, we're in a group with the world number 1, 8 and 12. I'm delighted we're there and don't think we'll be embarrassed but in terms of making it out of the group or even picking up a win it's a massive task.

    6. Arsenal will invest wisely in powerful defensive players (just kidding, they'll sign Sigurdsson and play him out of position on the left wing)
    7. Man City won't manage to sell any of Tevez, Balotelli or Adebayor
    8. Steve Kean and Alex McLeish are kept on in their jobs
    9. Paul Pogba will be in the papers every day
    10. Ronaldo will win Portugal Euro 2012 and the internet will be ablaze with irritating Ronaldo vs Messi debates, possibly forever

    2. England will go out at the group stage
    3. Hodgson will be villified, there will be some humorous/cruel tabloid headlines/pictures with the potential sub-caption 'Woy's Woes' to a picture of him looking stressed. The FA forced into a difficult position.
