World Cup 2002: England Vs Brazil

England Vs Brazil

Many people are saying that the winner of this game will go on to win the world cup, and who could disagree with them.

It will be a battle between the best defence and the best attack. But what chance do England really have?

Brazil have always been an attacking team with exciting flair throughout the team, but their major worry will be their defence. They might have won every match so far, but they have a relatively easy group, and they only just managed to beat the Belgians.

Their defence has caused much concern from the experts worldwide, which has led to them tipping England to come out on top.

The South-American's defence has looked shaky since the start of the tournament and if England can find the gaps then it should see us progress.

But, of course it won't be that easy. Brazil are the best in the world at going forward which will mean the likes of Mills and Ferdinand have to be on top form.

The defence will be face to face with some of the most valuable players in world football. Ronaldo and Rivaldo have the skill to tear any defence apart, and Roberto Carlos has a free-kick to match any that Beckham might take.

In the end up we might well have a goal feast, but I think the winner will be the one who gets that little big of luck that champions need. We are not known for our luck, and if it ends up going to penalties we will all probably fear the worse.

I am confident that come this time tomorrow the whole of England will be celebrating a famous victory, putting us within one game of bringing home the trophy.

If we beat Brazil tomorrow, who can stop us from taking the title as the best team in the world?
