The World Cup kicks off in a week, and since we have a few aficionados round these here parts, I think it's high time it got its own thread.
So without further ado, here are my previsions:
Winners: Spain
Semi finalists: England, Brazil, Germany.
Dark Horses: US, Ivory Coast if Drogba plays.
Things to watch out for:
Maradona getting banned for drugs consumption, as manager this time.
France manager sacrificing a goat.
England losing in the semis. On penalties. Against Germany.
North Korea players asking for asylum in South Africa. Or possibly neighbouring Zimbabwe.
Cristiano Ronaldo diving about like he's been shot by a sniper in the stands, and then crying when Portugal go out.
Media reports of coked-up armed teenagers roaming the streets of Jo'burg. Yeah, well, it is Tuesday.
