im behind the US 99.9%. i think this is the best shot we've had in a while (Clint and Jose!!!). this world cup will be interesting. Argentina just seems all over the place. you hear more about Maradona than you do the squad (those comments yadayadayada)...Mascherano is the captain so ive heard, but what about Crespo? is he on the team? if so, he should be commanding the squad. Brazil is a contender (but Roni isnt selected, so im pretty bummed), England im not really feeling... they are stacked, but they never seem to pull the trigger, Germany is my pick actually (Miroslav, Bastien, Ballack, Lahm, Podolski, Mario, etc), France and Italy havent been too impressive leading up... (Henry handball is beat, and Italy seemed lazy in almost every game they played (go De Rossi!!)). i think the Netherlands look good, i would go with them as my 2nd choice... (Dirk, Huntelaar, Ryan Babel, Van der Vaart, Wes Sneijder, and Robben). Spain seems like the favorite. but Torres is out, Puyol has been slacking as of late... i just have massive doubts. Sergio Ramos houses, as well as Villa but i guess im hoping they get upset...
also, my friend told me that N. Korea is 1000:1 to win. i doubt this, but if true, i might just put $20 on them.
