The most vital question. Who's going to win the world cup?
Reading through the constant soul searching over Aikido and its' current state/future direction, I feel we sometimes miss asking ourselves the most vital questions such as:
Who's going to win the world cup?
Spain have to be favourites but they've fluffed it before. My heart says Argentina because of the genius that is Lionel Messi plus Maradona is the manager (the mad old goat!).
IF Rooney is in top shape, England could finally do well. They've a decent manager (at last!) and Gerard/Lampard/Cole are all world class. I'm also looking forward to watching Robben for the Dutch.
My final four:
Spain, Argentina, England and either Netherlands or Brazil.
Golden Boot:
Rooney or Torres.
Players of the tournament
Robben, Messi , Drogba, maybe Kaka
Surprise of the tournament
The Ivory Coast
Nigeria and Serbia might do something special
Flops:
Portugal. If Dunga keeps the lid down Brazil could suffer too.
I hope the African teams give it some welly!
The last two cups were a little underwhelming so I'm hoping for a classic!
