3 reasons why England will win the World Cup and 3 reasons they won't

#1 Why they won't: Pressure and expectation

The English Cricket Team will be under extreme pressure to win as expectations pile up

If there is one thing that English sporting teams don't seem to handle well, it's pressure and expectation. For some reason, English fans are constantly getting over-excited about their national team's hopes right before a big tournament. The team also managed to make it to the semifinals of the Champions Trophy held in England 2 years ago but fell to Pakistan despite finishing on top of their group with three wins.

The last time England even made it to the finals saw a squad that included the likes of Gooch, Stewart, and Botham against a younger Pakistani side that albeit included the likes of Wasim Akram and Imran Khan. England seemed to be in control after dismissing both Pakistani openers for 24 runs. Despite this, Pakistan overcame the odds and defeated England.

Since then, the English cricket team has failed to make it to the final game in every tournament they have been a part of.
