    I fancy Slovakia to get out of there group and possibly make the quarter finals. Very underrated team in my opinion. Greece to do well again playing horrible football and another I feel might get to the quarters. I feel Brazil will win the thing outright against either Germany (who will not miss Ballack) or Portugal.

    I'm going to stand by my prediction of England not to get out of group and I think the USA will beat them. My other surprise packet is Serbia going all the way to the semi's and Brazil to beat Germany in the final.

    I fancy the US to give them a scare alright. A draw wouldn't go down well, nevermind a defeat.

    The Serbs were phenomenal in some of their qualifying games, an absolutely ruthless team when they click.

    Less than a day to go.

    I'm fairly indifferent to England's fortunes but the vindictive part of me hopes France get mauled by someone, utterly violated by a superior force.

    Edit: Heard on SSN the players are supposedly petitioning their cuckold boss for Henry to start.

    Those vuvuzelas don't half add to that atmosphere, what an incredible racket.

    The 76 year old Blanco to replace Franco surely? Couldn't do any worse.

    Disappointed for South Africa and their fantastic support that they didn't hold out for the win. A bag of nerves to begin with, they overcame it well. Mexico's attack: bad day at the office or just toothless? The helium-filled ball is an interesting experiment

    I'm off to hobble some voodoo dolls. Or 'poupée de vaudou' as some might say.

    Mexico confirmed what I thought of them at Wembley. Very skillful team but not very effective. You could say the same about Sth Africa too on this showing. Lots of nice passing & movement which you'd never see an Irish team do, but nice passing & movement doesn't count for much if you don't take your chances (Paris...) or if you concede carelessly.

    Inter v Bayern Munich was the classic example. Inter v Barcelona less so because I think Inter got lucky with some decisions. I'm not saying Inter are effective and not skillful, they're both - just saying I'd rather be effective than elegant.

    Are England good enough / savvy enough to do an Inter on this tournament? They won't do it the Barcelona way.

    I just don't get Sidney Govou. All pace but no brain and awful in front of goal.

    That game was crying out for Nasri. I've never quite got Benzema either. Would he have made a difference?

    Are Toulalan, Gourcuff & Gignac all overrated?

    I effing hate Patrice Evra and William Gallas.

    Dont know what ye all are on about with the South African fans, I think they are rubbish - if blowing into a horn for 90 mins is good support - jesus (reminded me when ireland played denmark all those years ago)

    Glad France didnt win, Uruguay are not much either - Mexico can still do it
