World Cup 2010 Winner - Argentina :(

I guess these would be the final standings:

1. Argentina
2. England
3. Italy
4. Brazil

Quite conservative, I know. I don't think Spain will get too far even though they've been playing well lately.

As long as anybody other than Argentina, Portugal, or Italy (in that order) win it, I'll be happy.
I'd like to pick Spain, since they seem to have the most talent, but just don't trust them. So I will be boring and go with Brazil. I can't bring myself to pick Argentina, and besides, Maradona will probably f*ck it up. Italy are always a threat to sneak in there and win in a 0-0 shootout, however. Germany are too young, France are a bit of a mess, and nobody else ever wins this thing.

I wouldn't mind seeing Holland vs. England or Spain in the finals, but that ain't gonna happen.

I'm on Spain

North Korea

Every country is fine for me to be champ as long as it isn't: Germany, Italy, (sorry) England, Brasil

I wish for a small country that no one has on the list.

And my heart is always with the "danish dynamite".

Holland

I'm really sorry about Drogba missing the tournament. :(

I think Ivory Coast is Africa's best team, but Drogba has a huge weight there.

Argentina to beat Spain in the final. England to put in a poor performance during the group stages and then crash out at the first hurdle. I was once optomistic about Englands chances,but having seen their performsnce against Japan doesn't fill anybody with confidence. Drogba missing out is a real blow for the competition.

and New Zealand of course. :)

I'll be supporting England, and once they get knocked out, the Netherlands. I don't think either team will win it, but I live in hope!

Diego Maradona = Ewok in a suit.

I'll be supporting Brazil.

Also England and Netherlands.

well spain won it ,, and a victory for football, shame on you Dutch,,

how does it feel.

Shame on your referee, Brits. Shame shame shame. I rather would have seen Spain win with good whisteling.

Congrats, Spain! Congrats, Football!

The referee didn't make a good job. They players usually only try to find out, how far they can go. And some of these tryouts were dark red and very stupid for the own team. The referee's wife said he can't control his kids. Why should he control a final then?

Er, right, so it's all the fault of Howard Webb? Not the fault of the Dutch players who utterly disrespected the final and tried to foul their way to victory? ok Holland should be grateful Webb didn't send 3 or more of their players off, Di Jong especially.Webb should have given that corner but Elias wasn't entitled to a free kick just because he couldn't get past the two defenders.Holland didn't deserve to win. They were an utter UTTER disgrace. I actually wanted Holland to win before the game but i was overjoyed they lost after their disgraceful attitude throughout the whole game.

Interesting to see it's not only England who blame referees when they lose.

At least it didn't go to penalties,and the referee was trying to avoid sending off players and seemed to be trying to reason with them,Holland could have been down to 8 or 9 men by the end of the game,that would have been pretty farcical.

I was secretly hoping it would!
