making a guess about the winner of the 2010 World Cup on African soil is a hard task. Many people who have a great knowledge of football agree that it’s not about the best team but about the one that is going to be in better shape compared to the other ones. Big football powers have faced early exits several times and it’s not uncommon unexpected things to occur, especially when the big teams underestimate some newcomers.
South Korea is the best example of the latter who managed to make it all the way to the semis in the 2002 competition, beating Italy. How many people could really predict that Italy was going to win the 2006 competition?? In every competition bookmakers and journalists try to persuade the crowds about the favourites which definitely has an impact on the outcome of the whole competition. Historically, Brazil are the biggest favourites just because they have participated in all competitions and have won the trophy more times (5) that any other team. Germany and Italy are the second favourites to win it, although England, France and Holland have their chances too. Germany is a team to admire because one way or another they will manage to reach the semi-finals or even the final, without having nay of the world’s best players in their team.
Given that weather experts are talking about one of the warmest summers ever that sounds like it’s going to be a summer to remember. Once again, friends and families will get together, preferably outdoors, to enjoy that great summer social event that takes place once every four years. What you need is a nice backyard, a person to be in charge of the bbq, a big TV screen, a pair of outdoor speakers and some good company. It will be fun also for the kids as they can run outdoors, play with their remote control helicopter or if you are lucky, just watch the game.
It has been such a long anticipation since the previous world cup that it’s very understandable why so many millions of people are looking forward to the 2010 games. Are you ready for this?!
