The World Cup 2006 has begun!!

And so has the countdown to England’s opening game…..

More than 30,000 England fans are there ahead of Saturday’s 1400 BST kick-off, with supporters back home also ready to cheer on Sven-Goran Eriksson’s side.

Steven Gerrard should start provided he has not aggravated a back injury, while Paraguay striker Roque Santa Cruz has declared himself fit to play.

Eriksson has said to the Press he wants a win “to send a message to other teams“.

England (probable):

Robinson
G Neville
Terry
Ferdinand
A Cole
Beckham
Gerrard
Lampard
J Cole
Owen
Crouch.

So a good interest at the back for all United fans!!!
