I was looking at some live coverage on a soccer blog that was going on and on about how lucky Mexico was to be in S. Africa's group but I knew they would even it out with some other big power. I still don't think its out of the question that Mexico makes it out of the group play though. Uruguay won't be easy for Mexico either.

Teams that I would like to see do poorly: Italy (ugh I hate Italy), Portugal, Mexico what I can say they're our rival and Nery Castillo annoys me to no end.

Teams that I would like to see do well: US, France, Ivory Coast, Ghana, S. Africa, S. Korea, Netherlands

The rest I'm pretty ambivalent about

I love the World Cup though.

Its funny, I lurk on a Fulham board some, and from there and stuff I've read on here and elsewhere it seems like a fair amount of Englishmen just don't care about the national team or even actively dislike them. Maybe that's the wrong impression, I don't know

Ouma could I get you to add Argentina to the list of teams you want to see do well...

I haven't even kept up with them, how do you struggle to qualify with that bunch? Struggling or not I'm glad we don't have to bother with them.

Although the last time the US played Argentina it was a pretty exciting 0-0 draw (this is what friends that don't care about soccer can never understand but goals or no goals it was exciting IMO). To be fair Tim Howard was phenomenal, he stoned Cruz about 8 times in the first half.

The teams I want to do poorly: Mexico and Portugal...Mexico play like thugs and Portugal take dives. I hope Cristiano Ronaldo gets destroyed!

I think South Africa may be the first team to host a WC that doesn't advance.

The US need to get off to a good start, win or lose we NEED to score goals, if we score then we'll be ok. We can't play timid, we can't play defense first, we can't hope another team makes a mistake, we have to attack! Our backs are good and we have the best depth at goalkeeper in the world, so let's go for the kill from the get go! When we had a bad World Cup last time it was because we didn't create, take, or even have any chances....we have to be more assertive on the pitch to have a chance and vs England, hell why not try to drop 4 goals on them Sure they could easily try and do the same to us but we beat Spain not too long ago, it's time to play with some guts!!!!

I say all that because every World Cup we seem to tighten up, play scared, make mistakes, and ONLY focus on defense and as a fan I am sick of that...I want us to play like we did in the (the last half) Confederations Cup

This is gonna be an epic tournament !!!!

Got all of big nations and thats like what 9 teams that have a realistic chance of actually winning.

Got your traditional underdogs who always spring a suprise or two; Mexico, USA, South Korea, ect.....

Then youve got the African Nations on home soil who could well spring an upset or two although Ivory Coast got shafted in the draw and there the pick of the bunch for me.

Then youve got all those teams there who have probably inspired almost religious devotion among the people just for qualifying ........ Algeria ......... and youve got an awesome tournament.

Cant fucking wait.

However if we lose to the USA i might kill myself.

Mexico are crap travellers shame really they have a decent team I wouldnt be to bothered about S.Africa, yes they are the hosts but there the worst ranked team in the event wouldnt be suprised if they are the first ever host nation to be knocked out at the first stage.
