Also, I realized I've actually made no world cup predictions, well here goes.
Best attack falls to both Spain and Argentina. Spain having the likes of Torres, Villa and Xavi, as well as subs that include the ever impressive Fabregas and Alonso who can thread any pass, it just goes to prove their strength in depth. Argentina has not only the best player in the world but also Higuain, Tevez and Aguero, certainly it matches Spain with ease.
Best defence goes to Spain, mostly because just how impressive their goalkeeper is, and then when you look at number two and three, madness. Plus some impressive defenders in the form of Pique. I would say Brazil hold some good defenders, Lucio in particular was extremely impressive and I'd wager without him, Inter would not have won the Champions League.
Best manager goes to none other than Mr Capello, been there, done that, multiple times, he is England's greatest saving grace. And he's not even English!
Best player at the tournament I would say is BENDTNER!!1!!1 actually no, still Mr Messi, he should have notched three goals for Argentina already and seems to have in recent games, found his club form carried into International.
I don't think anyone can argue Holland doesn't have the most technical team at the World Cup, just check out van Persie's goal against Charlton, I said Holy Shit when I saw it. Add to that Sneijder, Robben and van dar Vart, truly a skillful team.
And my dark horses in the tournament are the Germans, many of who made it into the Champions League final and making it into the Euro finals last time around and I fancy Italy to still have a good drive to them and they still hold some good players.
Also appearently New York Posts headline was "USA wins 1-1" :lol:
And van Persie vs Bendtner kicked off! GOOOOOOOO PERSIE!
