ThereâÂÂs two trains of thought for England fans before the massive Slovenia v England match; do you lambast the team for under achieving and letting egos ruin a golden opportunity or do you get behind them for this âÂÂwin or bustâ game and hope they turn negatives into positives?
Hopefully most people will be opting for the latter and backing England for as long as they are still in the tournament. When itâÂÂs finished, every man and his dog will have an opinion on where it all went wrong but before that most people will be right behind them. This is typical England â nothing's ever easy â and the team should cone out all guns blazing. They canâÂÂt play any worse than they did against Algeria.
England are a backable 4/9 to win this match and seal a spot in the last 16; anything other than that and itâÂÂs out of EnglandâÂÂs hands. Paddy Power has taken more money on England, but more actual bets on Slovenia at 7/1. It shows that people are willing to part with more money on The Three Lions whilst the smaller staking bets on Slovenia are from the value hunters and people from Scotland.

There are too many big club players in this England team for them not to rise to the occasion, every player in the squad has had pressure on them before at their clubs and we should see a reaction from them when they play against Slovenia.
English people have a habit of making things difficult for themselves but always overcoming the odds, Wayne Rooney has been too quiet so far this World Cup but how long can this last after the season heâÂÂs had? He leads the first scorer market as a 7/2 chance or even money to score at anytime. Or will the introduction of Joe Cole into the side provide a spark? HeâÂÂs scored in previous World Cups so will attract support at 9/1 to open the scoring on Wednesday.

The goals have finally started flowing now in this World Cup and England will have to add to that solitary Steven Gerrard effort if they are to progress. A repeat of the 2-1 win in last September's friendly at Wembley would pay 7/1 and be enough to send England into the next round. Despite the lacklustre effort in front of goal everyone is hoping for them to bounce back in style to make the other countries take notice; donâÂÂt be surprised if England win 3-0, which is 9/1.
