Who will win the 2010 world cup?

Some people hate football, some love it. Although I'm not a football fanatic and don't foolow matches unless it's a great match, I gladly look forward to the World Cup...mainly for the fun of watching it with friends and the atmosphere when watching it outside while enjoying a few drinks. This is my first world cup in Switzerland and of course when Switzerland plays, I will side with it (my country never made it to the world cup). But I will enoy watching the other matches while on holiday on the beaches back home.

Who do you think will win?

Re: Who will win the world cup?

Dont get too excited for Swiss, Unfortunetely during the worldcup you will be hearing continously this two annoying slogans only,
==> Hopppp Schwizzzz
==> Schwizer Nati

Can some one please come up with the 3rd one or teach them to how to sing the anthem? Anyway I believe it would be very colourful whilst so many immigrants in CH !!!!

I support two teams Italy & Argentina, if it comes to finals among them, I'd like to be applausing Messi and Maradona in the same picture

Scotland will go out in the first round. England will lose on penalties.

Re: Who will win the world cup?

...well, I don't know who will win the world cup. I however know who will definitely not win the world cup (Switzerland, North Korea, New Zealand and Australia).

Re: Who will win the 2010 world cup?

Given the England v Japan match last weekend, the only way England will stand a chance is if the opposing teams score for them.

England vs USA is going to be a very intersting match. IMO.

Re: Who will win the 2010 world cup?

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Brazil. That's my bet, of course.

The TOP 4 of this world cup for me are:
Brazil
Argentina
England
Germany

..nah...Italy is the usualy underdog...and I'm certain that they have a chance again (boring to watch how they play soccer though).

Re: Who will win the 2010 world cup?

I was joking before. Two of Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Germany will make the final.

What's the World Cup? Is this something to do with dominoes?

This is pretty much spot on I think - I'm expecting a Brazil v Spain final, but we'll see!
