Starts tomorrow!!

Anyone else this excited?

Tomorrow we have:
South Africa v. Mexico - 9:35am
Uruguay v. France - 2:30pm

Who do you have going all the way?
I want to pick Spain now that they have Torres is healthy again. The man scored a goal in his first 10 minutes on the field, so things are looking good for them.

England looks like they can put up a good fight as well even though their captain went down in training. Though, captains don't really matter for ****, and Ferdinand barely got selected for the team anyway. I think they will be alright as long as Rooney stays healthy. I wish they would have brought more of the younger guys like David Bentley, Darren Bent, and Walcott, but I still think they have a chance of going all the way.

Any team with Lionel Messi poses a huge threat, so watch out for Argentina, but that should go without saying anyway.

But when it comes down to it, I'm going with Brazil. That team always plays with a passion like no other. Dunga is trying to get them to play a bit more defensively, and with Julio Cesar, Maicon, Dani Alves, Kaka, Luis Fabian, and Ramires I look for a gritty match everytime they are scheduled.

I share your sentiment with Brazil

Brazil will be tough to beat. Spain generally does something to shoot themselvses in the foot in crunch time. If Gooch was 100% I would like the US's chances better. England will make it to the round of 16 and be put out. Their defense is suspect.
