Who's going to win?
•
by Ronan Donovan
60 games have now been played in the 2010 World cup.In just over a week the final four games will have been played and we will know the champions.Now there are four teams left,so which one of them will claim the ultimate prize?
Uruguay
Probably the least likely to do it.They have though been very impressive and have a really good side.Forlan has been excellent and Suarez has proven to be a handy(pardon the pun) striker.Their defence has also been very strong.They face Holland next and can reach their 3rd. final if they play to the best of their abilities.I think it will be 4th. place for them though.
Holland
They have been in 2 finals before and will be looking to finally bring home the cup.They have an excellent team at the moment with top class players such as Robben,Sneijder,Kuyt and Van persie really showing their class in the last few weeks.They knocked out Brazil so they have every chance of succeeding on July 11 but I think they will come up short just like in the 70's.
Prediction:Runners-up
Germany
The disappointing loss of Ballack looked like it would ruin the Germans' chances.As it turns out,it has been a blessing in disguise.Young players like Ozil,Muller and Khadira have emerged as stars and have shone against England and Argentina.The old partnership of Klose and Podolski has again proved to be a deadly strike partnership and has provided plenty of goals.They haven't won it in 2 decades but they look like a team who can't be stopped.I think the cup is going back to Berlin.
Spain
European champions and a really great side made up of skillful players including Xavi,Iniesta and Villa.They can easily beat anyone on their day but they do seem to have defensive problems.They haven't been too impressive so far but Villa has been amazing as he usually is.They are favourites to win and with their talents it's not hard to see why.If they beat Germany they should win the competition but that will be no easy task.
Prediction:3rd.

Well written. Germany-Spain will be a cracking semi-final IMO, a repeat of the Euro 2008 final. The champions, I expect should come from that pairing, though it's difficult to write off the Dutch either. I agree though: it should be a final between bitter rivals Holland and Germany. And I expect a repeat of the 1974 result.

C'mon the Dutch!
I'm going Orange!
Holland all the way.
The winning team will speak Spanish, German or Dutch. I predict this.
Germany ftw
It's going to be Germany. Highly doubt anyone else could pull it off...
I think Germany. Although, the Netherlands could surprise me.
I was watching the Paraguay/Spain game today. Spain was not looking very sharp today. Their passing is usually much better. They eeked out a 1-0 victory over a very tough defensive Paraguay and that was on a rebound shot that hit the pole and bounced the right way. But a goal is a goal right? 🙂
My prediction :
Uruguay surprisingly beats Netherlands
Germany beat Spain
Uruguay - Germany in final 😛
Espana!
Spain all the way,by far the best team in the World cup by a mile.You can see they can up a gear or two when really needed.
The Spanish midfield can do what Argentina midfield couldnt yesterday get close to each other and pass and move.
Plus the array of talent on the Spanish bench could prove the the deciding factor in what promises to be a epic repeat battle of 2008.
Respect to Javier Mascherano of Argentina
One of the best individual performances i have ever seen the guy was pretty a one man midfield/tackling machine.
Now that is a chilling thought Mascherano and David Villa at Barcelona this season.OMG fantasy football at its best lol
