Today beings the greatest month in sports that only happens every four years, the FIFA World Cup. This time the World Cup takes place in South Africa and it is the first time the World Cup has been held in Africa. The World Cup is made up of 32 nations that go through an extensive qualifying process. Those 32 nations are then separated into eight 4-team groups, where only two teams from each group advance.
One of the most anticipated matches of the World Cup is the United States versus England. That takes place tomorrow, June 12th. I think the game will either end in a draw (tie) or England will win by one goal. One of the best groups in the World Cup has to be Group G and is made up of Brazil, South Korea, Ivory Coast, and Portugal. It's hard to say what two teams will advance from this group but I believe it will be Brazil and Portugal.
When it comes to predicting a champion I have to go with my favorite team, Brazil. There are other teams that are capable of winning the World Cup though. I wouldn't be surprised if Portugal, Spain, or Argentina walk away champions. Keep checking back throughout the next month, I plan on watching as many of the games as I possibly can and will try to give my opinions on what happens. Also I will be posting the bracket I picked over on ESPN.com in their World Cup Bracket Predictor.
Enjoy the next month watching the greatest sport in the world!!!
