So, 3 days left to go until the action kicks off in South Africa and already the drama has started. Rio's out! Drogba's out (probably)! Robben's out! Essien's out! Someone up there reeeeeeeally doesn't like people who've played for Chelsea.
But who's going to win? Euro champions Spain? A Ronaldinho-less Brazil? Maradona's Argies? England? Ok, maybe not that last one. And who's going to be the best player? Who's going to be the surprise package? Which great team is gonna go out in the group stage? The answers are just 72 hours away.
Personally, I'm backing Spain to win. And I expect England to make their traditional quarter-finals exit on penalties. How about your country?
EDIT: And now Nani's out! The big teams are dropping players like mad!

Killen is so confident that he's booked his honeymoon for the same time as the playoffs. Brilliant. *NM*

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque.

Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"?

Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy...

Meh. Look at Italy's defenders.

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane.

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game.

Oh, but if Drogba does play then Ivory Coast have a great shot at the quarters

Truthfully, I'll watch, but I doubt I'll be a huge supporter of any country.

I've been a traditional supporter of Germany. But I do support Australia too.
