Can anyone explain what the World Cup is to me? I'm Scottish

Thought I'd get that one in there as well before anyone else does.

Great to see this thread starting. Well done, CBC.

My tip - it has to be Spain. Even without Xavi and possibly Torres and Fabregas, they've got quality throughout.

I really think Brazil will struggle with the temperatures. They'll do well, but I can't see them being the all-conquering powerhouse they're capable of being.

As I said on the footy thread, I'm hoping England make the semis, which I would class as a success. A lot hinges on Rooney's fitness. I have more faith in Capello than I do in the players - strange to have it that way round for a change!!

1 month and 1 day to go - I can't wait.

Spain.

Although Id like to see England win. The few injuries etc though are making that look less likely.

[oafc0000]

I can't call a favourite... Every team seems to have issues..

[The Nal]

Brazil or Germany I reckon.

Pato has just been dumped by his wife and may be dropped from the Brazil squad, hes been out drinking with Ronaldinho, which is a road to nowhere.
