World Cup Fever Again

Time flies, and it's World Cup again. Starting from today until 11th July, we will again enjoying the world most watched sports game. Me included, I think there will be millions of people ready to sacrifice their sleeps to follow this once-every-4-Year games.

So who do you think is the favourites? Who stands the highest chance of winning RSA 2010 World Cup glory? There are few traditional favourite teams, and I think again this year will be one of these favourites winning it.

Brazil and Spain are the most tipped team to win the world cup this year, and base on their recent performances, I think it's well worth the picks. However I think there will be teams like Germany, Italy, England, Netherland and Argentina. From all these teams, I discarded Germany and Netherland because of some reasons.

Germany has too many injury to their key players, and they are lacking a leadership players in their team, so when it matter most, I guess they will suffer. Netherland as usual I think they still have their internal problem among themselve, which happens all these while. When team winning, it will show no sign of this, but when losing, all problems will appeared as experience told.

Brazil and Spain show no sign of such and they are playing strong as a team as well as individually, but still there are some weaknesses in this team, and we will not know when this will be exploit. Maybe it will not be exploit at all during this world cup and they both will qualify to the finals.

Italy and England are still depending on their old guards to march onto their glory path and I guess it will takes their toll when competition progress going on, and Italy may have the experience advantage over England, as England shows many times over the years they will crumble under pressure, and I guess this time it will not differ too.

Argentina is not consistent under Diego maradona's charge, and unless they can sort this out before their first game, I think they will not progress far either. Another problem hanging in Maradona's head is how to gel all these superstar players together and play as a team, what sort of formation to use and who should they place in each area is depending on Diego's vision and thinking of the players.

Overall I think this year's world cup will be one of the most exciting and we should take a seat back and enjoying the competition. My pick for semi-finalists is Brazil, Spain, England and Argentina. As who will win I'm not sure.
