The World Cup Winner will be...

The World Cup starts tomorrow!! That's "football" for everyone outside of the USA and "soccer" for us Yanks. Who will win it all? Well, the best team in the world is Brazil, and the host country always does well, which is Germany. So we'll go with those two to make it to the Semifinals along with Italy and the Netherlands. The USA (over-rated) won't make it out of the first round. And France is too old, so they might make it to the 2nd round, but not to the semi's. And the winner will be... The Netherlands! What the heck, they're a fun team to watch. No thought of defense; just attack, attack, attack. Kinda like the Phoenix Suns. And no, I haven't looked at the detailed pairing, so if this foursome isn't mathematically possible, don't give me any grief. Others with a good chance to be there at the end : England (only if Wayne Rooney recovers miraculously quickly from his injury), and Argentina. But South American teams don't win World Cups in Europe (not even Pelé's teams), so Holland it is.
