It Starts Here...

The GREATEST show on earth will begin within the hour and I have a feeling it's gonna be a blast!! This is one of those times when lesser football fans come out to pick a country and support all the way to the final... kinda like once in a blue moon thing

As for me, I'm putting my money on Spain cos lets face it, they are playing superb football ... think Barcelona and Real Madrid in 1... I know the likes of Zhou, Willie and me will be donning our respective jerseys when they play :P

La Furia Roja...

Though the obvious casts will be there in the final few rounds.. namely Brazil, Germany, Italy and Argentina...

Lets get ready to parrrtyyy...

However I think teams like England, the Dutch, Portugal and of course France will falter say probably the quarters due to injuries to key players or just a lack of that mental toughness needed at the latter stages...

Are the witchdoctors ready?...

As for surprises, probably the likes of Ivory Coast, South Africa (remember S.Korea in '02?) and even Australia might upset one or two apple cards! What ever it is, one things for sure: countless of sleepless nights for the next month!

Oh as an added bonus, there is a fantasy league going on between the usual suspects... must redeem myself after a lacklustre EPL fantasy season... Let the international taunting begin!


And few new additions to the league...

So just who will lift the trophy come July 11?? We'll just have to wait and see... Less talking for now...
