    Do you guys think host South Africa have a chance of upsetting Mexico in the opening game Friday? I say yes.

    My predictions for this World Cup.....for me it has to be a country in South America my top FIVE....

    1. Brazil.. seems to be able to turn it up a level when they need to. More players needed if the chemistry comes together this will be the team to beat.

    2. Spain....Top notch goalkeeper in Casillas. By winning EURO 2008, Spain seemed to get the monkey off their backs in terms of a reputation for not performing at the international level.


    3. Argentina..Performed well at times and over the last couple of World Cups have been the most talented team. With Diego as their coach, this could take them far.

    4. England....This team seems jinxed and unable to live up to high expectations. I expect the USA team to pull an upset on 6/12.

    5. France.....They will miss Zidane and it is unclear what kind of form Vieira and Henry will be in.

    Our cab driver this weekend was talking about Nigeria as a big sleeper team. His homeland, naturally.

    Ha ha. I watched the last game Donovan played for Everton, and the fans were actually saying "You must stay", not USA. Kind of playing on our whole lame chant since we can't come up with any clever ones for our team.

    Everyone here in S.A. believes it. And they will have one hell of a homefield advantage.

    I'd be surprised if South Africa won.

    For me Spain is the favourite but with my heart I know that Argentina can make it if Maradona change the tactics because Messi is on FIRE! 8-)

    England, Holland and Germany could be there too... Brazil... hopefully Portugal and Ivory Coast (without Drogba they aren't dangerous) take them out on the first round... ;)

    Can't fucking wait...

    VAMOS ARGENTINA CARAJO!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

    also a Euro nation has never won it outside of Europe... but that means fuck all really does it? Considering its the 1st African one as well... I wonder who will be the best African country? Ivory Coast, South Africa, Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Nigeria... some good teams in there.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    True but this is going to be in mild weather. I don't think they will face the heat and humidity that they've had in other world cups. I still go for a European winner, I think it's the South Americans that will struggle. There again I also know fuck all.

    Being realistic here, no way Aussies will win.
    I would like for Spain or Holland to win, seeing they've always been up there but never won.

    I used the word Nigeria... that's close enough. ;)
