(whore @ Dec. 07 2009,20:54) North Korea for me. Simply because the whole team are genetically modified test tube babies made from DNA samples from Pele...
Brazil are the only team who have won a world cup staged outside South America or Europe, so stastically they should be favourites.
However my betting slip says;
World Cup -Spain
Premiership- Man Utd
FA Cup - West Ham
Champions League - Real Madrid
SPL-Celtic
Group A - France? Haha..With Domenech, they will not reach the next round. 1 Mexico / 2 South Africa / 3 Uruguay / 4 France
Group B - Hmm..well balanced group in my opinion. 1 Nigeria / 2 Argentina / 3 Greece / 4 South Korea
Group C - If England is safe from injury, they can do it. 1 England / 2 USA / 3 Slovenia / 4 Algeria
Group D - There is nothing to say about this group. 1 Germany / 2 Serbia / 3 Ghana / Australia
Group E - Only very strong teams. 1 Netherlands / 2 Denmark / 3 Cameroon / 4 Japan
Group F - Italy is always good for a surprise. 1 Paraguay / 2 Italy / 3 Slowakia / 4 New Zealand
Group G - Group of death!! 1 Brazil / 2 Cote d'Ivoire / 3 Portugal / 4 North Korea
Group H - Spain wins the group, no doubt. But it doesn't matter...Brazil or Cote d'Ivoire after such a boring group is too hard. 1 Spain / 2 Chile / 3 Swiss / 4 Honduras
SECOND ROUND
Match 1 Mexico -ARGENTINA
Match 2 NIGERIA - South Africa
Match 3 ENGLAND - Serbia
Match 4 GERMANY - Usa
Match 5 Netherlands - ITALY
Match 6 PARAGUAY - Denmark
Match 7 BRAZIL - Chile
Match 8 Spain - COTE d'IVOIRE
Quarter finals
Argentina - ENGLAND
Nigeria - GERMANY
Italy - BRAZIL
Paraguay -COTE d'IVOIRE
Semi finals
ENGLAND - Brazil
GERMANY - Cote d'Ivoire
Final
GERMANY - England (after penalty shootout)
It is certain that Germany will reach the final (and will win the cup)
As an expat (whatever that means) Yank, and having only seriously followed the sport for five or six years I don't presume to have a qualified opinion. But I'm also free of any tethers to history.
When it comes time to don the colors, I will be drinking for England.
