I"m sorry, i read "official" LMFAO
This is funny oh Noble1 kinobi, you don"t have Maroon5 erm the Claret trio playing this time you know.
No seriously, i wouldn"t say this was the best England squad ever assembled. However it is hard to say any Country stands out by a mile. England do have a glut of possible match winners amongst them, my fear though is that all too familiar over self belief once they win a few matches. If they take every game the same and give each country the full respect that they each deserve England could very well go onto win this one.
If Messi and Tevez can play as part of the same team(seems Tevez does not have TEAM in his vocabulary though) then obviously they can do some damage. Not sure about their defence, if like Man City they would play like the old Spurs under Ossie and lose in 5-4 spectacles. :)
Is Gomez in the Brazil squad? If so he is worth a 2 goal lead for every game at the moment.
No other thought i need to study for this coming week and work some betting out.

centre back - Ledley King [stats from a total 4 matches :)]
centre back - Les Michael Dawson
centre back - Sol Campbell [better than John Terry?]
midfield - Steven Gerrard aka ABH GBH [DJ lover]
midfield - Frank Spencer Lampard [most of his goals come from the penalty spot]
midfield - Paul Scholes [teaching gingers how to score in Manchester since 1994]
midfield - Joe Cole [ex West HAMMER soon to be ex blue unless his knee pops again]
midfield - Aaron Lennon [great speed but plays like a headless chicken]
forward - Theo Walcott [svens love child , also see above]
forward - Jermaine Defoe [rumours have it that he spelt his name wrongly on his transfer request when trying to goto Portsmouth]
forward - errr hmmm wtf how on earth is Bendtner ahead of Rooney , please anyone? explain please.......

Well, I have just had a small wager with one of my clients who was insistent that a smaller country would win the World Cup.
So I have the eight seeded teams ( 8 ) :- Spain, Italy, Brazil, England, Netherlands, Argentina, Germany, South Africa
He has all the rest ( 24 ) :- France, Portugal, USA, Serbia, North Korea, Australia, Mexico, Uruguay, Greece, Nigeria, South Korea, Algeria, Slovenia, Ghana, Cameroon, Denmark, Japan, New Zealand, Paraguay, Slovakia, Ivory Coast, Chile, Honduras, Switzerland
So, which side of the bet would you choose to take ?

Spain, Italy, Brazil,Argentina, or Germany , give your deluded client England as a token gesture imho... ;D

Think tbh id take Scott Parker over Michael Carrick, just think he has more of an influence over games and would prob take dawson over Upson but could go either way on that one.

Funnily enough, no. Did go all the way to Hammersmith though for some of the Kasparov-Kramnik match.
