Is it really that much of a longshot to pick Brazil. My 12 year old brother plays FIFA religiously and if you asked him who will win I have no doubt that he would pick Brazil as well. In fact, my redneck neighbor who would rather die than watch a soccer match actually told me the other day that he thought Brazil would win next summer. Great company to be in as a frontrunner – a twelve year old boy happy to have opposable thumbs and a redneck who thinks Pele still plays for Brazil.

Well. If he didn’t explain his reasoning it’d be pretty stupid. Any jackass who has seen a World Cup would say Brazil will probably win.

And I imagine he is realistic that there aren’t that many world class English players.

England has very rarely advanced the game since its original creation. It took everywhere BUT England to change how the game is played. They’re a culture of football consumers, not producers. For English managers that must be a bit of a let down.

Look. Brazil, Germany and Italy ARE ALWAYS threats. The numbers back them up. End of story.

Right now, Spain, Holland and Brazil are on form. Argentina and France aren’t. Germany is Germany and Italy is in transition and playing like it.

I think one of the African teams will make the finals. That’s my prediction.

Who knows what happens by 2010?

Is this anything more than Fergie having a dig at the FA over the 90 minute rule? When it was set up in 96-97 (IIRC), he said it would lead to fewer high-quality English players and more foreign players in the top English sides. The FA said “as if” and also shut down the Lilleshall School of Excellence. Ten years on, the FA is finally changing by re-launching the project for the Burton National Football Centre, and is beginning to relax the 90 minutes rule. Fergie campaigned against it from day 1 it came to the table, and I doubt he’d miss a chance like this to make an underhand comment that shows it has failed.
