England rarely do well in their first game. Saying that, I'm going 2-1 England. The USA may lack superstars but they're organised and more than capable of getting a goal on the counter-attack (which I think England will be susceptible to throughout the tournament). England will nodoubt dominate posession but if the US can isolate Rooney and put pressure on Johnson down the left (surely England's biggest weak spot) then it really could go either way. Although will their midfield be strong enough to deal with Johnson going forward?
My England starting eleven:
---------------Green---------------
Johnson --- King --- Terry --- A. Cole
Lennon -- Gerrard - Lampard - J. Cole
------------Heskey - Rooney
