    Hey Pape, it almost feels like the night before Christmas to me. Here's what I see:

    Tevez and Messi will put on a clinic in their group play and will hoist the trophy in the end. If they slip up or allow any distractions (not mentioning any names, ahem, Maradona), then Brazil will have no problem grabbing it.

    Sorry my pj forum friend but Chile cannot beat Spain. USA cannot beat England. I just don't see USA going very far this year.

    USA cannot beat England but they beat Spain last year in SA when Spain was ranked #1 in the world? Please explain your logic. Oh, and they led #2 ranked Brazil at halftime before losing by a goal. Yes, England is favored and should be, but of course the US can beat them. Will they? That's why they play the game.

    Spain had won the previous 15 matches in a row so yeah they had to lose sometime and USA was fortunate enough to catch them on an off day. Happens in all sports.

    The men's soccer team doesn't have any real talent on the world stage. It's not a put down it's a fact. The World Cup will be decided by European teams and the elite in South America such as Argentina and Brazil.

    I know they won't do well and it'll take a miracle to advance in their group but my Japanese roots are pulling for Japan to hang in there. My English roots are allowing me to have a back up team ;)

    Here's a good question for everyone... What's your TIME DIFFERENCE?
    All the games for me are 11:30am, 7:30am and 4:30am (OUCH!!)

    The early kick offs are around 3.00pm, with the later ones about 7.30pm so it's not too bad.

    As for who'll win it - as much as I'd like to say England, we never seem to gel as a team in tournaments and there's always one key moment that halts our progress and we don't seem to be strong enough mentally to overcome this, be it a missed opportunity at a crucial time, an injury or player suspension for a vital match.

    Argentina have certainly got the players, but under Maradona I don't think the tactics will be right. Spain have to be considered favourites but you nevr know.

    I'd like to see a country win who hasn't had success before or for a long time, just to freshen it up instead of the usual suspects like Brazil and Italy.
    It's gonna be a glorious day...

    USA shouldn't beat England but there have been loads of upsets in sport. That's why football is such a great game. Dodgy refereeing decisons, bad luck, anything could happen.

    I woudn't put too much into friendly results though. These are often played with experimentation in mind and players not willing to get crocked in them. If the USA and Spain played in a competitive match there would be only one outcome, a Spain win. England would get a thumping against Spain as well.
