I can't help but focus on Group C and the opportunities it launches directly down England's collective national esophagi. Nor can I help using the early stages of this list to make examples of some teams by their best known personnel. Robert Koren is a leading light at the Hawthorns, but lets remember where the Hawthorns lies. WBA are an exciting side at the second tier and a good bet for promotion, but next season is bound for chain after everlasting chain of dismally disappointing Premiership defeats.
Koren is also a leading light at Slovenia. Their recent history of shock qualifications for major tournaments should show that if a stronger side were to assume an easy ride they will be inviting a humiliating slap in the face. I'm sure Hiddink wasn't so lax in attitude over two legs and now look at him.
Still, England are playing at the World Cup finals and with a man like Capello holding the flag of promise rather than umbrella of despair this summer, we should be near the top of our game and with the workrate that should be standard for this side, we could dispose of Koren and Slovenia in 45 minutes and still afford to look all cagey for the remainder. I wouldn't even say different about both the other Group C team's chances against Matjaz Kek's boys.
