1985 Record:  5 wins, 3 losses, 4 draws

England is not the England of old.  In the last two years, they have
beaten West Germany and Brazil, two of their biggest problems, but
still struggle with the lesser teams.  I expect them to reach
the eighth-final easily, but they are prone to an upset there.

Caps:  Shilton, Anderson, Sansom, Martin, Butcher, Wilkins, Stevens,
Woodcock, Hateley, Barnes, Francis, Bailey, Steven, Wright, Robson,
Lineker, Waddle, Hoddle, Davenport, Mariner, Fenwick, Dixon, Watson,
Reid, Bracewell, Woods
