Preamble
England’s World Cup prep starts here. They’re in good nick, having won 12 of their last 13 matches to the cumulative tune of 37-4. They’ve kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 12 games, including all of the last six. Meanwhile Uruguay lost their last game 5-1 to the USA. Hopes are high.
But some expectation management. There are only two teams against whom England have a lower win ratio than the 27 percent (P11 W3) they’ve managed against Uruguay: Brazil and Romania. And the last time England faced La Celeste, this happened …
Oh Mr Roy! So nobody will be taking anything for granted. Kick-off is at 7.45pm GMT. It’s on!
