This line seems more based on reputation than what the two teams have actually done on the pitch in the last two weeks.

the problem is that to pull upsets in football you need two things:
talented/fast/creative offensive players
solid defence

Ecuador doesn't have any of those things and world class teams are generally solid defensively even when they're playing poorly.

All I know is that through 3 games each, Ecuador is clearly the better team.

Maybe England will live up to their potential, but the expectation on this forum that they should win about 2-0 is questionable at best IMO.

Maybe, but jolly old England is making me money this cup.
