I held off making this one because I was hoping for some God Save The Queen and pictures of the commonwealth posted by one of the Brits.
That aside, this is my favorite group at the cup, and probably the real group of death. I wouldn't be shocked nor disappoint to see any of these 3 end up in the final or with the trophy at the end of it all. They're also all just as likely to bust out before Quarters. Costa Rica and Keylor Navas' amazing keeping are the wild card here. Uruguay will be without Suarez today, so I wonder just how many goals they can put on them. If CR actually manages to grab points, surely they'll knock someone out inadvertantly.
Very tough group to predict, but:
Italy 2-1 England
Uruguay 3-2 Costa Rica
Uruguay 1-1 England
Italy 3-0 Costa Rica
England 4-2 Costa Rica
Uruguay 3-1 Italy
Uruguay 2-1-0 7pts
Italy 2-0-1 6pts
England 1-1-1 4 pts
Costa Rica 0-0-3 0pts
You could honestly swap any of those around though. A draw in Manaus tomorrow would make things more interesting, but it's such the obvious pick that there's 0% chance of it actually happening.
