Re: World Cup 2010

Getting ever closer .

We should have had a World Cup Pool or something here. Bit late to organize that now I think.

Let s make do with your predictions 1 - 4. The winner gets eternal fame!

I have:

1st Brasil
2nd España
3rd Deutschland
4th England

Who s next?

Added a poll! Enjoy the voting.

My bet:

Holland will win the world cup. If Robben gets on shape in the groupstage it s the best midfield of the tournament, maybe along with Spain.
Spain won t win because they won the Euro 08. A double seems not realistic.

Semifinalists:
Holland
Spain
England
Argentina / Germany ( -- they meet in QF with 50/50 chance)

Top goalscorer:
Wayne Rooney (easy group opponents should do for him)

My vote went to Brazil. Their current team reminds me of 1994 and they have their former captain as coach. No European team has ever won WC outside Europe and I believe that won t change after this year. Argentina might do well despite their coach.

Good points there!
Especially the outside-Europe one...

If you look at it from the other angle Brazil has won it on every continent WC was held so far; Europe(1958), South America(1962), North America(1970 1994) and Asia(2002). Only Africa missing now.

SPAIN !!! N1
