It would be nice to see an African getting far in the tournament. Concerning the African qualification rounds, I was sad Bafana Bafana didnot make, but happy Morocco also didnot make it.
My money would be on Brasil, Germany, Belgium and Spain, but I am only cheering for Holland and Belgium.
Eyes will be on Messi. It is wonderful what he is doing in Barcelona, but he hasnot shown his capabilities in a World Cup yet. Three years ago he failed. If he doesnot succeed next year, he will be but a footnote in football history. People remember Maradona, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, Pele, Paolo Rossi, Roger Milla, Gordon Banks etc. for their plays at World Cups. Only during a World Cup you can earn eternal glory.
And England made it!
