Need to see them play before calling it. Expect the usual suspects to do well, expect karma to knock out the French.

Don't need karma 's helping hand, just let em play their own game.

But you never know...

Espania, me thinks.

I think the netherlands should win it, even with robbens injury
my sleeper is north korea with that asian rooney of theirs
I guess the two shockers that I think will happen are france and argentina not getting past the group stages

and south africa should name a stadium after radebe

There is an offer from a store that if you buy a television and Spain wins all the matches, you'll get a full refund. Now thats some faith.

you wanna see faith?
well if england win the world cup - not necessarily every match - you will get england football gear refunded by sports direct, tomtom will refund your sat-nav, toshiba will refund certain HD TVs and laptops you bought up to the 10th - as will the 'bestbuy' retailer, you will get a refund for 'Eye TV' setup (whateverthatis), there's a fair few bookmakers that will refund any losing placed on other teams, and there's a morgage lender that will write-off the remaining balance owed on your house.

hell, currys electrical retailer will give you

And I thought Spain was bad o_O

spain are sh1t-hot on paper, but will they underperform like they historically have done in World cups, or has thier Euro success fully turned them into winners?

if they play to their abilities they should win it i think.
but then if Argentina ignore their mental fat coke-head manager i recon they also have an excellent chance.
