My bet is Inter will win and Mourihno will leave and coach Madrid as all the money they spent left them with good players that dont play well together and can't win trophies.
Hard to beleive Maradonas picks for Argentina. Zannetti gets overlooked? What! Diego, your not doing lines of blow again are you?
England vs. USA will be a historic battle. I'd have to go with England though especially if Rooney is in top form.
If Fabragas is good to play, as well as Torres, Spain should win the cup.

I think you're right about Mourihno. Especially after his comments on the Italian game. I'd love to see that. They're amazing but I just can't stand Barcelona for some reason. Anything to give a nod to Real over them would be great. Obviously agree with the blow comments on Maradona too. That's a no brainer.
Hoping the US tops England but I would also love to see England do well in the tournament. I like David James and would like to see him have success after what he's gone through at Portsmouth.
Def poor goal tending, but give the shooter credit. Being able to hit the ball from there, at that velocity without sending it over is something else.
I'm guessing either Spain or Brazil will win it. Can't count out the experience of the Italians too early, but they will have to face either Spain or Brazil in the quarters?? if they survive.

As good as Fabergas is, I think Xavi starts ahead of him, probably with Iniesta alongside again (as in Euro 2008).
The World Cup is the most fascinating (and competitive) sporting event on the planet. Makes the Superbowl seem like an informercial...and a dreary one at that.

It's the only soccer I watch. Nothing better than going to the North End in Boston when the Italians are playing. Every cafe and bar is packed and crazy during the games. There are no more passionate fans of any sport than soccer (football) fans.
Agreed. The world cup is an amazing event, and for soccer nuts it is Nirvana. Whether you like soccer or not watching the best at the top of their game in any sport is a pleasure. Many people still rave about Ronaldo, but right now Lionel Messi is my favorite, its a treat to watch his pace, vision and finishing skills...
