World Cup: The English Premier League running the show in the semifinals

Who runs the world? People with loads of money! Who runs the World Cup? None other than the English Premier League that is.

The 99 EPL soldiers has been reduced to 40 strong semifinalists, and that’s a high 40 might I add. The Premier League boast the most players in the World Cup Semifinals.

While other leagues reach a bare minimal of double figures, the Queen of England is smiling all the way to the bank! One things for sure – their will definitely be a lot of World Cup winners in the Premier League come next season.

Who’s it going to be? Is it going to be the team who are made up of Englishmen only, who are optimistic about their chances since surpassing expectations? Or will it be their rivals, who gave them a one goal beating during the group stages?
