The World Cup thread (soccer)

[Jean78]

With only four days to go its time to start a World Cup thread. I now that you Americans think that football are mostly played with the hands, but I'm talking about real football where you kick to the ball. No hands. Only feet and perhaps heads. (Soccer).

Who do you think will win the World Cup?
Do you even care?
Are Americans following the World Cup?

My guess is Argentina as a winner. The Brazilians players are to old, and Spain can't - even though they have great players - win anything. England is like Spain and the Americans cant play soccer ;-)

The outsider is Chile. Man they have young great players with moral and passion for the game.

So, all we have to do to get to the round of 16 is beat England, Slovenia and Algeria?

Exactly. You can also just beat Algeria and Slovenia. The two best teams from each group gets promoted to the quarter finals ;-)

Keep an eye on N.Korea.

I'll go with Germany.

Go DPRK!

I'm looking forward to see what DPRK can do. As I'm told the North Koreans are crazy defensive and do not even try to attack...
