And yet another WC, where England and USA are grossly overrated.

I expect surprises from Australia and Togo

England are overrated, but we must be favourites to get out of that group.

I agree that Australia are uderrated - I expect them to get out of that group.

Well, I suspect a lot of the respondents are from the USA, so of course there will be bias. Also, I am sure a number of them just picked the USA anyway, even if they didn't really believe it.

48% of the people think England is going to advance, and you think that is overrated??

I would love to lay you even odds that England advances to round 2.

Ivory Coast are underrated. I think they have an excellent chance. I have thought England we overrated for every tournament in the past 10 years, but if we have Rooney fit we have an excellent chance of progressing.

just to nitpick, with 2 choices, and england making up 48% of the OVERALL vote total, that means that pretty much everyone picked england to advance

DMB,

England really really should qualify from their group. It isn't to do with overrating - they might well be the #1 most likely team to qu\alify for round 2 (I think Brazil would get this honor, with England in second place)
