    England are amongst a group of around eight to ten teams that could do well in the FIFA 2002 Men's World Cup. (Please note the PC Correct use of "Men's World Cup" to give the wimmin's game equal status).

    I would say only Kane would push to get into a present World XI.

    Comparisons can be made with Barnsley's and England's recent fixtures. England have beaten poor Iran and Wales sides and drew with only a marginally better USA. Barnsley have beaten poor Forest Green, MK Dons and Crewe sides. In both cases we need to see how they get on against better sides before hyping them up too much.

    We did win away at sheffield six ,one of the biggest teams in the world & got a great result at Ipswich & lost a very tight game at Plymouth so I think 4 points from the 3 away games is a pretty decent return out of the league"s elite.

    The comparison was England playing poor teams so far and Barnsley playing poor teams in recent fixtures to illustrate the notion that both England and Barnsley haven't really been "tested" over the last few games. In the last potential four Men's World Cup games England will find the opposition a little more difficult, that's all I'm trying to say.
