The Gratest Show on Earth

USA vs England
The highly anticipated match up between England and the USA is one of the most anticipated showdown of the summer World Cup. After months of trash talking between teams and among fans, the question still remains, can America repeat what they did 50 years ago? when they defeated the Britt’s 1-0 in a World Cup match. But, 50 year ago, the Britts rested most of their starters in that game. Even with most of their starters out, the Americans were still able to pull off one of the biggest upset in World Cup soccer, shocking themselves and the rest of the world.
However, this time around, both teams are at full strength and are ready for battle. A victory for the Americans would be huge for soccer in the US. A defeat for the Britt’s, is not going to go over well for the country that is credited with starting the game of football (soccer).
Predictions:
Dwyane: I am going with England 3-1.
Gleddy: England(4-1)
Paul Baba: England (2-1)
Gaffa: USA(2-1-)
Jeremy Shortt: Tie (1-1)

Cheyne: USA(1-0)
Abi: USA(2-1)
Ryan Crandall: USA(1-0)
