England’s problems are the same they’ve encountered since Allan Border’s team convincingly regained the Ashes in 1989; Australia is superior in ­batting, bowling and fielding and that’s without delving into the all-important aspect of mental strength.
England has periods where they bowl well and those interludes will be greatly enhanced if Darren Gough fully recovers from his knee operation.
Their progress on this tour is vital to England’s fortunes because, unless the prolific opening partnership of Hayden and Justin Langer is split early and on a regular basis, the chances of an upset victory will plummet like the mercury when the winter wind hits Calgary.

 qwghlm.co.uk : England expects
England may win their group, or be one of the best runners-up, but that will not satisfy the curiously strong sense of entitlement to success that the average England fan possesses.
England didn’t play in a World Cup until the fourth tournament in 1950 (after falling out with FIFA back in the day, they missed out on the first three).
Interestingly, I read an analysis of the England cricket success which attributed part of it to the fact that the players were practicing with the national team more often, and away from their county sides.

 Football | England still expects
Brown has played a canny game so far in reminding England they have lost the unpredictability of Paul Gascoigne, but he is surely only stating the obvious when he says any country would be glad of a centre-forward with Alan Shearer's goal-scoring record in international football.
So England are favourites, and the Scots envy Keegan some of his players, but exactly the same circumstances applied for recent games against Bulgaria and Poland, and quite possibly Sweden as well.
England would not now be slumming it in the play-offs had they made their paper reputation count in the group games, and, although Keegan's brief reign appears to be one long succession of last chances, there really will be no coming back if his collection of individuals cannot gel together in the next two matches.

 England expects grand finale - theage.com.au
Led again by the inspirational Michael Vaughan, England was poised to score a consolation fifth Test win last night to deny Australia's hopes of recording only the second Ashes whitewash and the first in 80 years.
England captain Nasser Hussain may have drawn criticism for delaying his declaration until a lead of 451 was reached at 4.59 pm yesterday, considering the dawdling way his batsmen went about building their lead, and that the highest winning fourth innings score here was 276, scored all of 105 years ago.
Vaughan and Hussain had added 95 runs yesterday morning to take their partnership to 189 in 236 minutes - an English third wicket record at the SCG, eclipsing the one set on Thursday by Butcher and Hussain - before it was controversially broken on what became the last ball before lunch.

 England Expects: Ron Greenwood dies
England Expects is an independent website providing comprehensive current and historic information about England's national team, the representatives of football's founding nation.
England had previopusly failed to qualify for the 1974 and 1978 World Cup as well as the 1976 European Championship Finals and the reputation of the national team had been further sullied by the Revie affair, which formed the backdrop to Greenwood's arrival at Lancaster Gate.
His arrival was probably too late to save England’s bid to qualify for the Argentina World Cup in 1978, but he steered England to the 1980 European Championships and, after a tortuous qualifying campaign, to the World Cup in Spain.

In the current climate of toothless police dramas, pointless star vehicles and anodyne political correctness, I suppose the BBC could be considered brave for tackling the raw topic of racism and its relationship to politics.
TV 'drama's' tendency is to reduce racial/ racist politics to a flip manicheanism, but England Expects, at least in its first hour, made an attempt to explore the complexities of the motivations of its lead character Ray Knight (well played by Stephen Mackintosh).
England Expects also highlighted the way in which the BNP has appropriated working class grievances which would previously have been the province of socialism.

Manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, himself a Swede, drew heavily on Owen's pace and clinical finishing during qualifying and the 22-year-old will be expected to deliver now that he is back on the game's biggest stage.
With 16 goals in 36 appearances for England, Owen has a proven strike record against the best defences in international football and scored a superb goal in 1998 against Argentina.
However, Europe's Footballer of the Year cannot expect much space in the final third against a Sweden side that has built a reputation on defending deep and getting back quickly in numbers.

For England supporters the emergence of Crouch and the return to fitness of Michael Owen could not have been better timed, though neither player possesses Rooney's compendium of menace.
