Four Nations Tournament

To be held in Guangzhou, China. Between the 26th and 30th of January.

The nations competing are: England, China, Germany and the USA.

It's going to be more than hard for England to compete with the likes of these teams. Though will give us the knowledge of what we have to do to improve.
China, USA and Germany are some of the best teams in the WC...then there's England We don't have a hope in hell if you ask me!

Good luck to England anway!

CHINA FOUR NATIONS TOURNAMENT SCHEDULE
January 26th
China v England
Germany v USA

January 28th
England v USA
China v Germany

January 30th
England v Germany
China v USA

OMG one poor David and three Goliaths
Good luck England! LOTS of luck!

I think I'll be cringing at every score for England
Not too bothered about England, other ties like Germany v USA are more important. The two biggies up against each other

These matches better be on Eurosport or England games on BBC3

China are 8th in the world and they will play at home
so basically if England win ANY game - it will be great

If Arsenal was not in the UEFA cup I would have fancied a day trip to see england germany but need to save money ! Those game will be very intersting for England's Wc preparation

Wow! A day trip to China... I thought I was daring going to Coventry last Sunday- after your experiences at Gravesend you'd need to be sure of the weather!

I specialised in unworthy trip : week-end in Dallas , TX I found a cheap ticket 200£ return to Guangzhou hence the day trip

All matches are aired on eurosport

I don't think Germany have played this before , I've never seen them play anyway , it's always been Sweden. USA will be defending it again and I back them to win it. It will be good to see England there , see how far behind the best in the world they really are.

Actually Sweden have only played it once between 2000-2006, and that was in 2004. Checked on the swedish FA site Germany has played it a lot more than that. My guess is that Sweden's footie season is over at this time of the year and have started their winter training, so it wouldn't be a very good footie they could accomplish

I could of sworn I saw Sweden play this year I don't remember seeing Germany play though

And I could have sworn Norway, China, USA & France participated in 4N 2006

Yeah we had bad results there..no wins

Yeah France have been up and down this year
- I wonder how good are they gonna be now that Pichon and Soubeyrand retired

I added a poll if anyone wants to vote

Yey!

I voted USA, the tempo in their game is just so high. Every player is at such a high standard, they will crush other teams!
England will have no chance and will IMO look very, very weak against most teams in the group.
Germany and China will be interesting to see, the main competiton will be between them and the US

Happy days. Live on Eurosport!

Would the Germans be the favourites and do they all play each other once?

Yes, they play each other just once
and Germany (World no.1 team) & USA (the best team atm IMO) are the favourites
China have beaten Germany a few months ago though,
so let's see what happens

I voted for USA again, on the basis as usual that teams I vote for or bet on will lose

Why do you want USA to lose?

If you wanna jinx anyone, you should always vote for Germany

But I only had one vote

But I'm asking why do you want USA to lose, not to change your vote
