Great thread but it would be greater if .... everybody mentioned who
they think will win and maybe who they want to see lifting the WC statue?

I of course have no clue who's wining but I want to see my land of birth
takes home the biggest honor there is... BRASIL.

And some pics...

From the consert yesterday where shakira was of course

Julius...I'm a HUGE Brazil fan. So, that is my team, but I'm sad that Ronaldinho is not playing. But at least Robinho will be playing.

My other teams are Spain and France.

So, my 3 teams are Brazil, Spain and France. The other teams I want to do good is USA (of course), Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Paraguay and Serbia.

What about you guys?
