The teams are in the country. The warm-up friendlies are over. There have been injuries to a lot of the top players. And now the Kick-off Celebration Concert is going on at Johannesburg as I write this post, and is being streamed live on youtube.
My favorites are definitely the men in yellow and blue. I wasn't following soccer before I was 7 years old ('94 world cup). And once I did, Brazil have won 2 of 4 world cups and finished runners-up once. Since the last world cup they've won the Copa America(2007) and the FIFA Confederations Cup(2009).
This year the Brazilians are placed in group G, arguably the group of death this time, along with Portugal, Ivory Coast and North Korea.(BRB...)
(Back from a short break...how could I have missed shakira's hips that dont lie being streamed live from the Johannesburg)
Alright, here are the 8 groups:
So which captain is going to lay his hands on the most beautiful trophy on the 11th of July? Will Brazil, Italy and Germany continue the World Cup domination, or will other favorites Spain, Netherlands or even the English triumph? Are we gonna witness any upsets this year?
We will know only when the Jabulani rolls!!
PS: Its been a long time since my last post and lot of things had been happening since. I resigned at Amdocs and decided to join ZS Associates. Will miss the guys at Amdocs. But Im not losing any friends, I;m just making more when I join another office. My heads at ZS, please don't take it in a negative sense.;)
