This World Cup is turning into quite the crap shoot. First the difficulty with SA hosting it and the issues with no one buying tickets. Than the crap selections from a lot of bigger countries (Argentina, France, Italy). And now the engines that ran two of the more interesting teams (Germany and Ghana) are done for. Top that with two African teams recently getting new coaches who have barely been able to manage before, and this may be a shocking World Cup.

Brazil and Spain are the only real rampaging teams. We should do well but beyond that I'm growing a little concerned...
