I have money on Brazil to win the tournament - I reckon Portugal will qualify, esp. if Drogba is not playing for Ivory Coast, which would be a shame as his appearance was set to be a highlight of the tournament... that said, part of me wants North Korea to pull off a shock. I pity the poor bastards that live in that hellhole, and can only hope the World Cup gives them something to be happy about!
As for the Ronaldo vid, arvore, the bit between 0.00 and 6.38 was incredible!

Brazil is always one of the strongest candidates,I think You applied Your money well T.M:tup:
As for Droghba it is really a shame that one of the finest Strikers in the world isn't able to enchant us all with is amazing skills(right alongside with Ballack,Roben,Nani-yeah we lost him yesterday, the Man.U. player-and others...
I just whish he has able to join after our game against Cote D'Ivoire
As for North Korea I think they should be proud to have reached this stage of the competition 👍 and whish them the best of lucks in the other games of the group
As for Ronaldo goes he is really an Alien,isn't he?
But he never contibuted much to the sucess of the Portuguese National Team-he has not scored one single goal for us in a 1,5 year
Let's just hope this time he proves me wrong and entertain the world with his wonderfull game

Result! I've got Spain in the work sweepstake, obviously I'll be cheering England but its a good back up for a few quid!
Portugal are a very good side and, in my opinion, only a fool would write off Italy and Germany in a big tournament like this, they have so much experience and pedigree.
EDIT: sorry Dan_ just re-read that and it come out wrong, I am not calling you a fool, just pointing out that these teams have a very realistic chance of picking up the trophy
Well, to be honest, there's only six teams which can actually win the world cup:
Netherlands, England, Argentina, Brazil, Spain and perhaps France.
Netherlands, Argentina and Spain have offensive teams and are the best attack-wise.
England and Brazil are nice teams, Brazil is playing together for more than 1 year, we have a superb defense and lethal counterattacks. England is a balanced team, even after losing Ferdinand the team still strong both at defending and attacking, also, Gerrard and Lampard are awesome midfielders, which would make of England a huge opponent for Spain and Netherlands, which are teams who like to keep the ball.
France is enigmatic, as is Italy, the team is quite old and doesn't seem to form a real team, which is mandatory to be the world champion. However, France has better individual values and thus can be more dangeours to the fantastic five (Netherlands, England, Argentina, Brazil, Spain).
Portugal is running for the championship too, but I wouldn't bet my money on them.
It's time to put the sixth star on our uniforms.

I'm going to be completely honest here and say that I cannot stand seeing Cristiano Ronaldo play. Dribbling is what he seems to be all about, and instead of passing the ball to his team and creating some chances he seems to be more occupied with his need to show the camera and the world how well he can bypass his opponent and how great his haircut is.
My money is on Portugal or Brazil personally, although every time Germany plays I'm screaming at Schweinsteiger to go bonkers and score!

Apparently, non of the matches will be broadcast unless they win the world cup. Unfortunately, I can't remember where I read that, so I can't qualify that statement, although if its true, its a very sad state of affairs. After all, being in the worldcup is quite an achievement in its own right.
I recently read that they will probably show the games but not live; sad indeed!
I tend to agree a lot with this.
But I have to say that when they do work out - his dribbles, I mean - and he does make a lethal pass or scores himself, it's football at its best.
WE owned the world a few centuries back remember?!Maybe we can do it again
You shoudn't believe everything you learn at school!
