Fifa World Cup South Africa 2010: England

So by this time our team is still stable. We could however improve in many ways. One we could prepare for our game against Algeria and make sure that it does not result in a tie because our reputation as one of the top teams in the soccer organization is a stake. another way our team could be improved would be if our top midfielder recovered from his recent ankle injury that kept him from participating in the England vs USA game. Instead they made Steven Gerard switch to midfield which may not have been the best choice, especially because he is more of an offensive type player. The thing that could make our team completly better as a whole would be if our goal keeper could make sure that he has full control of the ball before he lets go of it so it doesn't end up ruining our streak of 50 years without being scored on by Mexico. By the time we aplay our next match, we will be ready to face whoever dares to oppose us. In South Africa there is a lot of ethnic conflict as well as religious conflict and the biggest reason for this would be the colonial broders places randonly by the Europeans. It does not make a difference to South Africa wether they are playing against us or any other country. There is no hate, everyone is just trying to win the Fifa World Cup. The only teams that may have a problem while playing against each other would probably be North Korea and South Korea.
