#1 Why they will: Home crowd
Another advantage of hosting the World Cup tournament will undoubtedly be the home fans that will create an advantageous atmosphere at the games for the English side. While India, Australia, and other countries will have patches of ardent fans, English fans should be the overwhelming majority in the stands. Due to the fact that England is expected to do well, coupled with the fact that the tournament is on home soil.
While the crowd advantage can't be accurately measured, it usually makes a difference between playing in front of a home crowd as opposed to playing against a hostile crowd in places like India, South Africa, or Australia. Certainly, the English national team will be hoping that their fellow countrymen and women will get out to support them as they progress through the World Cup.
