    It wouldn't be a world cup without complaints about the ball!

    I'm excited. I have a few friends who are making the trip down to Brazil for the WC so that's cool. I was unable to save enough money for an expenditure like that but I'll still wake up and watch the games and DVR the ones I will miss!

    2002 was 11 years ago man..15 years ago it was 1998 and people considered them as nothing but free points in the group stages.

    Rooting : Algeria ; yeah we're gonna suck, but I would rather go down with them than root for Spain like all those Venzuelians do, or England like some Americans or Canadians.
    Little exception : I also root for other African teams during WC's - except Egypt (we just hate each other)

    Who is winning it : Well, let's see ....

    - Germany : mentalmidgetsmentalmidgetsmentalmidgetsmentalmidge ts .... so, no

    - Spain : don't think they are done because they got destroyed by Brazil; it was a good wake up call for them, and Del Bosque is bringing in younger players

    - HGH's : they have improved since they got a real coach (lol Diego); sure their D is still , but MF is good and offense is stacked; plus, Messi should be well rested for the WC; they could be dangerous

    - France : they have quality players at each position; it allcomes down to Deschamp's lineups; when he takes re ed decisions like he did in the 1st leg vs Ukraine (lol starting Giroud and playing Abidal as a CB), France sucks; when he pulls his head out of his ass, they are a super team; if DD doesn't go full re , they could reach the 1/2 imo.

    - Belgium : they staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacked !!!!! But lack experience at that level .... not going far imo

    - Netherlands : they havee been underachieving for a while; they have added young quality players; it all depends on Robben's health ... he is out for at least 6 months

    - Portugal : lol no

    - Brazil : pressure time; yeah they won the Confed Cup at home, but we are talking about the WC; can they handle the pressure? they held the WC in 1930, were the favorites, and lost the Final to Uruguay; of course it doesn't mean they will choke at home again; the good news: Scolari is back at the helm and he is a real leader; he is a good coach for them

    - England : lol no

    - Italy : Prandelli has done a great job with that team; more offensive minded, quality young players like Shawarma, Giovinco, Giacherrini; big question mark: Balotelli's temper; if he doesn't , they are gonna be tough to beat; if he screws up : downfall

    - Sweden: Ibra is great, but he won't be en.... Oh, wait


    WINNER: it's gonna be either Brazil or Italy IMO
    (yeah I know no Euro team has won a WC on South American soil, but there is a 1st time for everything)

    BUT : you can never count out the defending Champs Spain, and France and Argentina could be very dangerous

    Still, I think they weren't ready enough. If the recent turn of events in Europe are any indication, then ze Germans are ready to take over world football for another time.

    Keep in mind that those damn foreigners are instrumental in Dortmund and Bayern going 3rd Reich on Europe.

    The only cold blooded German players are Muller and Lahm

    The others are pussies

    So yeah, to be the best you have to beat the best and so on:

    But in all honsty, how would you like your home countries group to look like?

    for me its:

    Germany
    Australia (just love the country and I think we do well against them every time)
    Ivory Coast (if we have to play an african team, at least make it my fav african team!)
    England (one of the worst teams and GER:ENG battles are always fun)

    and whats your biggest nightmare?:

    Germany
    Costa Rica (advantage regarding weather, near home)
    Algeria (blah team, which probably is the thoughest african opponent)
    Italy (Germany just can't win against them)
