World Cup Group C
Algeria
England
Slovenia
USA
After England's annihilation of Croatia, Belarus, Andorra, Kazakhstan and the Ukraine you would struggle to see how Cappello's squad could possibly fail in their attempts to progress past the first stage of the World Cup 2010. Paddy Power have moved our odds from 6/1 to 11/2 after the World Cup groupings were announced, making England the third favourite, with Spain as favourites and Brazil as second favourite.
As an avid England fan I admire Capello's cool, Italian swagger stating his views on the group as 'Not so bad'. He has to be delighted. We play the USA first which in my mind is a good thing because I think at major tournaments the Americans rise to the challenge.
Spain also have a positive group H with Chile, Switzerland and Honduras. Brazil arguably have the worst group G with the Ivory Coast and Portugal in it.
