    France has some serious chemistry problems after the benching of Henry
    I got Uruguay and Mexico coming out of that group as well

    Here's my predictions for tomorrow, i'll try to do some every day:

    South Africa 0 - 1 Mexico

    Uruguay 2 - 0 France


    Explanation: I like Mexico in this opener, and though people think they should win easily, this will be a tough game, and WC openers are usually closed games, no one wants to take risks that they could pay down the road of the competition. Mexico will score early in the 1st then the game will close up.
    The french have decided to play in an offensive 4-3-3, the problem is that they don't score many goals in that compo (which usually is a high scoring compo) and they risk a lot on defense. As mentioned, they have some chemistry problems and the starters aren't sure. They also have plenty of young guys who will face there first WC match. I really like Gourcuff compared to most, however, France will loose against Forlan's boys.

    Exactly! That's why Rivelino's celebration against Uruguay in 1970 is my favorite. Very much like Tardelli's but 12 years earlier ;)

    Ok.

    Prediction time!

    bodog has USA at 50/1 and Mexico at 66/1.


    If I bet $20 bucks on North Korea, how much will I get? They are 2000/1.

    Who wins Golden Boot. (most goals scored)
    Who Wins Golden Ball. (~MVP, best player)

    and pleease more playas on the ESPN Predictor game.

    Personally, I think the first round is going to be easy money.... You don't get much with that NK pick.
