Forecasting or guessing which national team is going to win 2010 World Cup in South Africa is not easy at all. Experienced football fans when it comes to have a say always find it hard as it is a competition where many things depend on the form of the squads during 20 days. Current world cup winners have failed to qualify to the next round several times and it is that element of surprise that adds to the magic of the competition.
A good example of that is Cameroon in the 1990 Word Cup in Italy that managed to beat Argentina and proceed until the quarter finals. How many people could really predict that Italy was going to win the 2006 competition?? Definitely there are some favourites but that doesn’t mean that other minor teams shouldn’t have any chance at all. Historically, Brazil are the biggest favourites just because they have participated in all competitions and have won the trophy more times (5) that any other team. Italy – as the current trophy holders and Germany follow, because of the amount of times they have managed to reach the final. The Germans have been very consistent as they have reached the final several times in the last 15 years whereas Italy won the last competition.
Get ready for another memorable competition, especially after experts have fore-casted that summer to be one of the hottest ever. Once again, friends and families will get together, preferably outdoors, to enjoy that great summer social event that takes place once every four years. What you need is a nice backyard, a person to be in charge of the bbq, a telly, a pair of outdoor speakers and your favourite people to be around. It would be fun even for the kids as they love being outdoors, running, jumping and playing with their rc helicopter or when they get tired to watch the footie.
I have the feeling that the forthcoming work cup will be one to remember, mainly because no major team will be missing nor the greatest football stars. So, find your perfect spot and get ready!!
