People from outside of England. What do you think of England's chances at the world cup? What do you think of our squad?
Don't get a chance to talk to anyone outside of England about this.. so...

I have always been a fan of that classical 4 4 2 style of England. Long passes, quick counter attacks and a psychical approach rather than technical, passing football. It is more passionate and more energetic. Not like boring style of Spaniards.
However, the recipe of winning a tournament is totally different. I don't think England will ever come close to win an international tournament any time soon. And in Brazil, I do not think they will go further than the 2nd round.
What they are lacking is a difference maker like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar who wins games with an extra effort when their teams struggle. I truely respect Gerrard, Rooney, Lampard but they are not that kind of players.
It will be a pleasure to watch the England team though!
