Trying to guess what country is going to win the world cup in South Africa is a hard bet. Many people who have a great knowledge of football agree that it’s not about the best team but about the one that is going to be in better shape compared to the other ones. Big football powers have faced early exits several times and it’s not uncommon unexpected things to occur, especially when the big teams underestimate some newcomers.
South Korea is the best example of the latter who managed to make it all the way to the semis in the 2002 competition, beating Italy. 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. Brazil and Argentina are the no1 favourites given their skill, history and the fact that the competition will take place outside Europe. 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. So, all you need is a garden, someone to look after 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 just watch the game.
We are all looking forward to a great competition, where hopefully the best team is going to win and all those great players will offer unforgettable moments. So, find your perfect spot and get ready!!
