England v USA Preview (FIFA World Cup 2010)

This match is the match that I'm waiting for. England will be challenged by USA. They shouldn't underestimate USA because this 'new era' USA can produce the high quality football. But, still England has a better opportunity to win this match. Rio Ferdinand's absence can be a disadvantage for England, especially to the back four. I think Ledley King or Jamie Carragher will be a perfect replacement for the skipper. And they will work together with John Terry to stop Landon Donovan who's the star man as a playmaker. In midfield Steven Gerrard will be a dynamo for England. The new skipper will work together with Frank Lampard to stop the ball supply to Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore. Dempsey and Altidore plays for Fulham and Hull City in England, so they know England play style, It can be the USA advantage to face England. I predict hat England will use two attackers, one place is definetely for Wayne Rooney and the last place for Emile Heskey. They will face Jay DeMerit and Oguchi Onyewu as the USA center back. The huge problem for England is the GK position, because England doesn't have a very very good goalie. But I hope Don Fabio will select David James as goalie, because of his experience to play in a big tournament.

England (4-4-2): David James; Glen johnson, Jamie Carragher, John Terry, Ashley Cole; Aaron Lennon, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole; Wayne Rooney; Emile Heskey.
