FIFA England vs USA World Cup 2010 Schedule - England enter the World Cup 2010 as one of the hot favorites alongside Spain and Brazil, but are widely expected to disappoint their fans around the quarterfinals stage, as they always do.

But a strict disciplinarian coach in the form of Fabio Capello would generally deter any sweeping bit of indiscipline as England take on USA in their first game of the FIFA World Cup 2010.

Obviously England will be without captain Rio Ferdinand and that leave Steven Gerrard to lead the side into this Group C encounter knowing that anything other than a convincing win will be considered a failure by the press back home.

All the pressure rests on the Three Lions as the United States enter the fray knowing that they are expected to lose and anything they garner from the game would be a bonus before they go into the easier battles against Slovenia and Algeria.
