First off, please no spamming!
The World Cup has offically kicked off today, with Germany vs Costa Rica
1. Your prediction on who you think will win the world cup
2. Your prediction on who you think will win the Golden Boot.
I believe the world cup is going to the hosts Germany!
I've already went to the bookies and placed down a bet for Adriano to score the most goals in the tournament. I decided not to place a bet on germany winning coz their odds of winning were to high, and I wouldn't get much cash back if they do win.
Predictions will last up to a week. Once you predict for a team and a player once, you aren't allowed to predict for another team or player again. I'll bump this thread once the world cup is over to see who was right.
Edit: As much as I want my country England to win I know that won't happen, so I'm sticking with the hosts!

Soccer seems too slow for me, though on occassions I do watch it...I just watched the top 10 moments of all time in "American Soccer". It was pretty sweet. But like BJ, I'll just hope that my country wins.
EDIT: Totally slipped my mind. Is the world cup like the biggest even in soccer or is there something better than that.

Pro Bowl - Not so big, but the final event before the end of the season.

I prefer American Football, but I can agree that Soccer is a lot more fast-paced.
However, the most intense sport is, without contest, hockey.

reason...I'd rather watch the football being passed around and something actually come of a play, versus watching the same, how every many, guys kick the soccer ball back and forth. 90 minutes of nothing but dribbling is kind of slow, nothing happens, then when there is a goal, it starts all over. They dribble, they pass, they dribble, they pass, etc. Kind of boring. At least in American football people get hit. Big plays happen a lot. The game isn't so repetitious that I fall asleep.
Anywho...from what I saw on TV, looks like America is the underdogs still...so I'm going to stick with them.

Ronaldiniho is midfielder, who plays on the same team as the striker Ronaldo. How can you pick Ronaldinho! granted he is my pick for best player in the tournament, he won't score the most.
England to win
Thierry Henry of France for the Golden Boot.
Those are my picks, but Wayne Rooney could have a very good tournament once he gets back on the pitch from this injury.
Edit- Anyone else disappointed by the Poles losing to Ecuador? Come on Poland.

USA are ranked 4th in the world! Although you can call them underdogs, it's possible they can go far!

Man, Zidane is the only reason I rooted for France. Because of his name matching a FF character. And he headbutts people.

Zidane, a national hero, has to go out on that note? I'm sorry but I'm dissapointed in Zinedine, and he is the greatest PK taker alive, and he might have spelled the difference. Also if Trezeguet would have done something on the offensive side after he replaced Ribbery, Thierry Henry might not have died trying to do it all himself. And Henry would have been a gem on PK's, since he would of been there instead of the woeful attempt by Wiltord. He got Buffon going the wrong way, half the net is open, and he puts it off the bar. Unlucky, but he should of done better. Zidane's actions though, one of the classiest players ever, and he goes out taking out mantinezi (sp) with a vicious headbutt to teh chest. My beef with that is i guarantee that linesman didn't see the foul, but they played it on the scoreboard, so the linesman was like 'oh ya i saw it... give em teh red'. friggin liar.
