US is definitely younger and more athletic, while england is older and slower. but england also has more skill at the key positions.

i think you're right on the playing style, C.O. it might throw the english for a loop. but i just don't see the US having enough firepower up front to finish the job against the english defense. but hey...it's the world cup, so you never know!

my prediction for this group is a draw here, but england win the group on goal differential.
