It is the question asked every four years by everyone around the world, will England win the World Cup? Since inventing the idea of kicking a ball England have found that other countries are actually better than them at it, being dominated by the likes of Brazil, Argentina and Platinum Stars. However, with an Italian at the helm this could be England’s year. But what do the experts think, will England win the World Cup?
We already have in 1966. I scored a hat-trick. Some say I didn’t but I did. Roger Hunt turned away to celebrate as he thought the ball had crossed the line and that is good enough for me.
Geoff Hurst

I hope not

I think they have a great chance. They took the wise decision to rest throughout the summer of 2008 and should be fresh for the tournament.
Steve McClaren

We have essentially the same team as 2006 and we were the best team at the tournament then. So, yes, it is a done deal
