Despite being a perennial contender, England’s World Cup results — aside from its 1966 victory — have been gloomier than Old Blighty’s weather. But after storming through qualifying matches with 9 wins and 1 loss, England looks like a favourite.

The Three Lions’ roster features pugnacious forward Wayne Rooney, the unrivalled midfield duo Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard and manager Fabio Capello brings discipline and focus to a squad that has sorely lacked both previously.


Pay close attention to Wayne Rooney this year…

Rooney is at the peak of his abilities — the player England hopes will help end its 44-year World Cup drought. Just 24, Rooney is a singular talent on an England squad capable of going deep into the tournament.

Tenacious, powerful and immensely skilled, he can almost single-handedly determine a match’s outcome. “This is the best he’s ever been,” says Craig Forrest.

When it comes to the World Cup, there’s Brazil, and then there’s everyone else. Brazil has won a record of 5 World Cups, with their all time record at 64-14-14.

This year’s team looks equally impressive with world-class forwards Luis Fabiano and Kaka, while goalkeeper Julio Cesar is among the game’s best.

“They could probably field three or four teams in the World Cup,” says Forrest. While Brazil plays in arguably the tournament’s toughest group — Group G, which includes Portugal, North Korea and Ivory Coast — it would take an epic collapse for this team not to advance to the Top 16.

Kaka is a key player to watch on Brazil.

The latest in the long line of otherworldly Brazilian forwards, Kaka — dubbed the game’s “most complete player” by no less an authority than Pele –boasts both a tremendous shot and an unparalleled passing ability.

While FIFA’s 2007 World Player of the Year has struggled through a lacklustre season with Real Madrid, his status as one of the game’s elite players was confirmed at the 2009 Confederations Cup (won by Brazil), where he was awarded the Adidas Golden Ball as the tournament’s best player.
