    LOCK: This Cup goes to South America
    African Teams: By far their worst participation ever. They have great players in top european teams but when its time to play together, they just cant and im pretty sure, non of the african teams are going to advance to next round unless nigeria wakes up late which i dont think so.

    European Teams: What to say about them.. Germany supposely was the strongest and then they showed a completely different face against serbia. Netherlands is the only team that was won both matches but havent convinced at all. The havent score a "decent" goal yet (1 own goal, 1 keeper mistake and 1 tip in). France, im not gonna even waste my time talking bout them... just shameful.. they didnt even deserved to be on this cup (illegal goal of henry vs ireland). Italy is just italy but worse, drawing but deserving a lost in both games. Again the 2 goals they have scored has come from a penalty kick that wasnt penalty and another mistake by the keeper vs paraguay. England is just not playing good, I think beckhams injury is costing them more than they thought so and also the draw against argelia and their country turning against them just might as well buried them against slovenia. Last but not least, Spain who had a decent game against switzerland but something was not working for them and they ended up loosing against a very poorly offensive team. I thik that the match against Chile will be the last hope for Spain to demonstrate they can win this cup. Also, there isnt 1 european team that has won a world cup that is played outside Europe.

    South American teams: They are saving this world cup offering good solid preformances by Argentina (5 goals so far, should have been more), Brazil, have been playing at 70% and havent showed off their real potential but still offer amazing goals (best so far by me) and against tough defensive teams like NKorea and IC. Then there is Paraguay who deserved a win against Italy and dominated Slovakia, Chile who played really great football against hoduras but still has to prove themselvs against switzerland tomorrow and Uruguay who had a mediocre game against france but a great game agains SA and with Suarez and Forlans as strikers, they can sneak into the quarterfinals easily.

    So by far, SA teams are dominating so far this world cup and hopefully we can see one of the best matches possibly to date: Brasil vs Argentina in the final!! Lock it up guys!!. European teams are overrated this world cup!

          I hate the word "lock" it's definitely a jinx IMO. Start betting value and predictability not assumed certainty.

                  please, not brazil vs argentina match! just not that one. it will be one of the most one-sided final world cup match...

                  i agree though South America will win the World cup, that is BRAZIL. Just like in 2002, where other teams still get used to Asia weather etc, Brazil come out on top. This time, with new ball, attittude, vuvuzela, the same thing happen so far.

                  The other team in the final, it will be either Germany, Spain or England. Germany is always tournament team. They can be weak team in the group, but come elimination match, you will see "never give up" attitude from them. Spain and England has great chance, not because of the players, but because two great coach of past decade, Vicente and Capello.

                  Argentina, Paraguay or Chile will most likely get pass the group stage, but they will get knocked out by Europe teams or Brazil. Argentina? I can easily see how Spain, Paraguay, Germany, Brazil outplay them. Paraguay is still the same consistent team that get pass group stage but will get eliminated after that. Chile will be a suprise package if they can go to quarter-final, after that, it will depend on their believe

                        I have always liked Netherlands.. i was rooting for them in the Euro 08 but as always, they fail to win the imporant matches.. and I do think itll happen the same this year. Also in order for Netherlands to win, they are going to have to eliminate Brasil and I Brasil is the kind of team that can crush Netherlands defense..

                          i dont know if it just me but im seeing Chile as one of the dark horses of this world cup and advancing as first in group H and
                          at least to quarter finals... they impressed me in their game against Honduras with their creative and offensive line and they are missing their star player SUAZO who is an AMAAAZING player!. If they win convicingly tomorrow, im puttin money on them for future props!! They can knock down any giant imo

                              Mexico can either play Argentina which would mean the end of the road for them or they can match against South Korea/Greece/Nigeria(miracle) which would mean very good chances of getting to quarter finals and then it ends for them..
                              Usa still needs to win their last game and if they qualify theyll prolly match up against germany or serbia/ghana.. Eitherway I dont think they can make it past quarter finals. Honduras just doesnt have what it takes to make a good tourney and they wont have chances of qualifying for next round..

                                No, No and No - In my opinion all will be long gone by the end of the 2nd round; Mexico will finish 2nd to Uruguay and get nobbed by Argentina, USA will finish 2nd to England and lose to Serbia or Germany, Honduras won't even get out of the group.
