[quote]Millions of people across the UK are expected to watch the England football team's first match at the World Cup, against the United States, later.
The British Beer and Pub Association expects nearly four million fans to head to pubs and big screens have been set up for public viewing.
In a video message of support for the team, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "Come on England".
The match, to be played in Rustenburg, South Africa, will start at 1930 BST.
England manager Fabio Capello has said he will not reveal who will be in his team until two hours before the game kicks off.
Members of the public will be able to watch the game on big screens in a number of areas across the UK such as Millennium Square, in Leeds, and the Hammersmith Appollo, in west London.
And up to 3,000 people will be able to watch the game on big screens at Great Notley Country Park, in Essex.
Meanwhile, US servicemen and women based at Mildenhall airbase will be cheering on their countrymen.
The British Beer and Pub Association has predicted that nearly four million fans flocking to pubs is likely to generate a £35m sales boost, with an extra nine million pints of beer sold.
And supermarkets are expecting their busiest day since Christmas.
Sainsbury's said it had prepared for a 500% increase in pizza and pint glass sales.
In addition to his video message, Mr Cameron gave his backing to the FA's England Football Day campaign, which aims to encourage more people to take an interest in the game.
The prime minister said: "I want to wish the England team and Fabio Capello every piece of good luck for the whole of the World Cup, but starting with tonight's vital game against the United States of America.
"I keep saying we are all in this together, and that is particularly true when cheering on the England team."
The prime minister also agreed that the England flag would fly over Downing Street for the duration of the World Cup[/quote]
Labour wouldn't do this because of the SCOTTISH MAFIA
:britain:
Crouch better be in the team.
football vs soccer argument commencing
football, not eggball.
anyone but england
You know England have got this one in the bag. America have one half-decent player, Jason Donovan and he's only average compared to England's lineup.

Oh, they also leach off England's benefits system to.
Scotland's football squad is so bad they wrong a world cup anthem which pretty much asked them not to fuck it up too much and don't come home too early. Sums it up quite well really.

Qutie a good song though. He's one of the most hated men in Scotland now though.

funny how our dental is free and yours is not, no one in our country has missing teeth where as I see countless Americans with gaps and bucked tooth. Not in England :)
pip pip! Cheerio!
Free dentistry stop when you're out of education unless you work somewhere that has gives out free private healthcare, like me :D But if you have to pay it's actually pretty expensive.

It's people like him who give the English the wrong impression of us. I'm Scottish and one of the few people who are supporting England.

yep, my braces cost 2 grand because I left education. I don't care because I have money. I only have braces because I had an accident when I was younger that fucked my teeth up
I think we'll easily get through: USA, Algeria, Slovenia and then us. I'm pretty sure USA will come 2nd in the group.
Still sceptic about our chances though. In EVERY world/euro cup I remember, we ALWAYS go out in the quarter finals.

I like the vast majority of scotts, but it seems there is always one who feels the need to insult England

Yeh, despite, we as a whole, are "British"

It's inherited. Like our tolerant hatred for the Germans. We'd never be out of order to German for no reason and will treat them with respect, but we still can't stand them! And the French, the bastards!
It's going to be a devastating win for England. I can't wait to head down t' pub, everywhere's doing dirt cheap deals! :D
We'll own England just like we did in the American revolution.

You have a problem with people supporting their own country...? What the hell is wrong with you?

Oh I get it, you're being 'Edgey'
