Sven has had his hand forced so it will be 4-5-1, I think Equador play 4-4-2 so the midfield battle weill be decisive. Hopefully Lampard and Gerrard will have the freedom to get forward and we may see the best of them.

Expect us to go 3-5-2 if we go behind or have not scored by the middle of the second half.

The heat will be a big factor in this game as well.

I predict a truly horrible low tempo game with neither team showing much willingness to attack but I think England have just enough to edge it 1-0.

2-0 England.

Guess I'll have to Support Sven-Göran's team (the other Sweden) for the remainder of the tournament.

GO England ...

In my head I see 2-1 (but the other way around), but my heart yearns for 5-1.

We can confirm which englishmen have no life if they post during the course of the game.

Posting during course of game = Not watching it in the Pub.

Yesterday's Toronto Star had this prediction :

"Speaking of putdowns, one English tabloid advertised this matchup with the headline "We're playing a nation of guinea-pig eaters." That sort of cockiness could come back to haunt them. The Ecuadorans looked shaky in losing 3-0 to Germany, but they sat five starters for that game while the Germans went with their "A" team. Without Michael Owen up front and without a plan for set pieces, the English are ripe for a fall.

Prediction: Ecuador 2, England 1"

I almost cancelled my subscription but put it down to an extra page of comics.

My prediction 3-1 England. Rooney and Lampard as well as Beckham with a PK.
