its one of the first world cup previews and deserves the front page...no one approving?

You know, this is the first World Cup since 2002 that I have very little interest in. Just not feeling it, you know, that excitement and buildup.

redknight803798d ago

Your excitement is less because of those damn vuvuzelas from last World Cup isn't it? ;)

barb_wire3798d ago

Bite your tongue - those damn things made for a horrific World Cup in South Africa.. there's a special place in Hell for the inventor of those!

I could not hear a damn thing due to those f'ing Vuvuzelas!

you guys think Brazil will win it at home?..they certainly have the star power.

redknight803798d ago

They have a fantastic chance to win and I am certain they are the favorites to do so, but I am still not convinced they can. They have a pretty easy group stage so I think more information will be needed until people can truly call them contenders. Croatia is a stubborn team and can frustrate the best of them..Mexico is a wild card and can either be total crap or total class and beat Brazil...Cameroon can frustrate them a bit with their pace and perhaps can tire out some of the Brazil stars ahead of the bigger matches. Either way, Brazil is at home and that will be a massive boost...semi-finals, at the least.

I think they will emulate the 2002 winning team..they have shades of that side and the same manager.
