Well in my world cup sweepstakes at work i had the missfortune of drawing the USA and greece so no winnings for me then.

Cant even support the first team i drew.

I think spain should probably have this one, they are the most ballanced and well structured team. Brazil will step it up , but head to head i think spain has it.

England just dont play that well as a team. One of the most tallented squads in the world , but they just dont come together that well. Gerrard and lampard in midfield is not a good combo.

My outside tip is Holland.

Eagle : ))

Atter : Seems like, the dutch player have forgot about hating each others this time.. maybe they will play football... and when they do that, they do that in a fashion way !

[NJDevs26]

The Dutch may be playing for each other but the Robben injury really hurts, pun intended. A couple of the African teams got unlucky breaks too between Drogba for Ivory Coast and Essien for Ghana.

I can get a feel for most of these groups except D (Germany's group), literally you can probably rate any team 1-4, especially with Germany's own injury problems.

I might as well try though:

Group A - France, South Africa (have to win that first game)
Group B - Nigeria, Argentina
Group C - England, USA (will scrape through barely)
Group D - Germany, Ghana
Group E - Holland, Cameroon
Group F - Italy, Slovakia
Group G - Brazil, Portugal
Group H - Spain, Chile

First Round - Argentina over France, England over Ghana, Germany over USA (again), Nigeria over South Africa, Holland over Slovakia, Brazil over Chile, Cameroon over Italy, Spain over Portugal

Quarterfinals - Brazil over Holland, England over Argentina, Nigeria over Germany, Spain over Cameroon

Semifinals - England over Brazil, Spain over Nigeria
Final - Spain over England

[redruM]

My predictions:

A France
Mexico
B Argentina
Nigeria
C USA
England
D Serbia
Germany
E Netherlands
Cameroon
F Italy
Paraguay
G Brazil
Ivory Coast
H Spain
Chile
4th Place
Germany
3rd Place
Argentina
2nd Place
Brazil
Champion
Spain

Mexico & S.Africa are sooo weak in defense.. that insane...

[MantaRay]

GO FRANCE!!!!

[eaglejelly]

Mexico should have gotten 3 points out of this game but are probably happy t have gotten 1 at least

[Atterr]

Finally the World Cup has started. Not too great of a first game, but Mexico should really have won it. Nice first goal of the World Cup.

Really looking forward to the rest of the tournament, but I could really do without the sound of those afwul vuvuzelas.

[DH26]

can't wait for tomorrow. USA! USA! USA!

and please get rid of those horns

[losdiablos103]

My boys should have gotten 3 points, but I'll take the 1 point. It's tough to play the host in the first game, EVERYONE is against you including FIFA and the refs.
