World Cup 2010 Discussion

Its Calums birthday in June aswell.

Forget about the birthdays it the World Cup! I'm going to set up a prediction game in here.

Okay I have a prediction league all nicely set up.

First of all you have to join Fifa's website: http://www.fifa.com/index.html

Once your resgisted click this link: http://en.castrol.predictor.fifa.com/M/home.mc

Then click 'My leagues.' Click 'Create/Join,' and enter the code below:

66040-3216

You can now go and make your predictions by clicking this link: http://en.castrol.predictor.fifa.com/M/predictions.mc

Here are the instructions for making predictions:

Quote :

To make your predictions click on the circles for 1 (home win), X (draw)
or 2 (away win). The points awarded for a correct prediction are
displayed below the circles. Click on the joker star button to select
your joker. A correct joker prediction will earn you double points. When
you have finished, click on 'Save Predictions' at the bottom and you're
done!

You can only predict up to R3 at the moment because well, the group stages aren't even over!

Will be interesting to see who wins.

Thanks Zach.

Starting writing a blog about the World Cup.

It's been four years since we saw Italy
celebrate in Germany as they beat France 5-3 on penalties. And now
four years on the World Cup is back with and history has already been
made as South Africa become the first African country to host the
amazing tournament. The opening game of the tournament will feature
South Africa play Mexico. I have decided to make a fact file for each
country in alphabetical order.





First up is Algeria, who are playing in
their first World Cup after a 24 year absent. Algeria are definite
underdogs in the World Cup and are not strangers to causing an upset
and they have already caused one this year by beating Egypt to
qualify. Algeria find themselves in Group C along with USA, England
and Slovenia. Could they go through to the next round? Possibly.
Although all their hopes of qualifying could be dashed on their first
game of the tournament, as they play Slovenia. They must get a win
against them to have any hope of getting through.




Next up is Argentina who are definite
favourites to win, although with an inexperienced manager at the helm
there could be an upset. The man who has a god-like status in
Argentina will be hoping he can guide them to success without even
being on the pitch. I am talking about none other than Maradona. But
let's not write them off because of this. Argentina boast some of the
best players in the world. Argentina are in Group B and find
themselves against Greece, Nigeria and South Korea. Surely they will
find themselves getting through the group stages.

Only 30 teams to go!

Looking good, be sure to post it on here so we can have a read

The Joker is available once for the whole of the three rounds. If you predict say South Africa winning against Mexico and select Joker you get double points.

Ok Thanks Zachary.

Next up is Australia the Oceania side
qualified easily and had a 5 point cushion at the end of qualifying.
Australia find themselves in a hard group, Group D. Group D includes
last years semi finalist Germany, Ghana and the strong Serbia.
Australia will be hoping to relive the previous tournaments moments
as the reached the knock out stages. Winning the World Cup is not an
objective and highly unlikely as the Australian squad lacks depth and
is an ageing squad.




Brazil are next. Clear favourites for
this years tournament? Definitely. The Brazilians have only lost one
game out of twenty four games. The objective for Brazil is simple,
win. The Brazilians find themselves in Group G along with Ivory
Coast, Portugal and North Korea. If they fail to get pass that group
it would a disaster for the side. Brazil boast players such as
Robinho, Maicon and Lucio in their side. Brazil will be hoping to win
yet another World Cup and also they will be hoping to complete the
jig-saw of the globe as they have won in every continent apart from
Africa. A win on the 11^th of July would complete the
jig-saw.

2 more days!

And so it begins!

1-1 draw. Pretty decent game imo , the Vuvuzela's were awesome , i'm thinking of buying one off amazon , lol

Lol Calum is now going to sound like a swarm of bumble bees!

I couldn't sleep last night.

Well its England's turn tonight. Will be interesting too see if Capello starts with Heskey up front with Rooney or not.. i for one hope he does'nt. He just does not seem the sort of player he will do something out of the blue.

I'm sure England will quite comfortablely get past he group stages and they should beat USA. But we will always become unstuck against the better nations and no doubt the tabloids will be on the England players backs.

On a side note, i got me England flag today from the Sun.

As long as England concentrate and put their best efforts in then we should surpass the group stages pretty well but then its anybody's guess after there. Lol.

I will be watching the England game tonight but of course will be supporting the other team.
