England just lost against Germany, and it was 4-0. I thought England can play way better than that.
That was our under 21s, who were missing most of their best players either due to injury or suspension. Still a poor performance though.
Italy don't have enough young players, I'd be surprised if they made the semis. Germany don't have a great team on paper. They would need more quality strikers to get past the semis, although as they have proved on countless occassions, their mental strength is often underestimated.
Despite their good performance at the Confederations Cup, the USA won't get far into the knockout stages.
