South Africa World Cup 2010: Official Thread

Okay, so theres only a month and a half away from the greatest fucking sports tournament in the world. Every single football fan in the world will be glued to the televiso hoping their country gets somewhere or just generally enjoying some magnificent football.

Personally, every England match (in fact, any match for that matter - that includes fuckin' Honduros and New Zealand - I couldnt care how small) I will be getting absolutely smashed down the pub, either, drowning my sorrows or celebrating.

Win or lose, I will have some booze! Thats my motto!

Oh and regardless of circumstance I will make it my duty to watch EVERY SINGLE match! My exams finish of the day the WC starts which is just perfect.

So lets get the banter going - who do you think will win? Who do you want to win? Who's the dark horse? Who's overrated? Top goalscorer?

I think Brazil will win it. They play pretty crap football now but are good defensively which is vital in a WC - look at Italy 2006.

I dont think England will win it, squad isn't good enough against the better sides.

Yeah all our goalies are pretty dodgy to be honest. We could do with a good striker to partner Rooney as well.

What do you fancy of Holland's chances? They havent really been properly talked about but they did well in qualifying.

yea we did good with qualifying but we had an easy group,
yea i dont know what our chances are,our defence is weak imo not a real good goalkeeper without vd sar
midfield and strikers are topclass though,
esp with robben sneijder v persie, de jong and van bommel at the midfield :worship:
but i think it wuld be a quarterfinal again :(

I've decided. I'm gonna cheer for Brazil.
The Netherlands look pretty strong too. They'll get to the 1/2 finals at least.

I just wish France get knocked out of the group stages, we all know how they got a place on the WC. :n:

Scotland and Ireland aren't in the world cup so all I want is for France to get knocked out early and for some amazing football.
