1. Argentina!!!! (nz will never be in one of these things...)
2. Brazil
3. Portugal

1. England
2. Italy, beating France 5 - 3 on penalties after drawing 1 - 1. I think Zidane will get sent off too.

I expect to be disappointed by England.

Japan.
France.
Ghana.

I don't know much about football. Did I get it right?

1. Portugal
2. England
3. Croatia

I actually think England might do well this year, they have a very good team.
Portugal haven't had much positive publicity lately which is good since they're best as underdogs. Man, i hope they beat Mexico, those guys are so cocky, that's all i want, please lord let me have that.  

1. England (I had really high hopes untill Rooney broke his foot)
2. Brazil
3. Portugal

Nobody went for Costa Rica?!

A cool extra for FireFox users - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/725/ - this keeps track of the games and results and things, for clubs around the world too if I'm not mistaken.

im gonna be dead by the end of today mates

No sleep and I Wander down to the 'set and flip through a few channels to find that im just in time to see from 2:31 the entire first half of South Korea & Togo. Looks like its a full day of football for me!! Just going to sit right through the lot Genuinely looking forward to Brazil & Croatia, and seeing the French and the Swiss beat on eachother should prove to be good too

wish me luck mates!! wooooo!!!!

Oh well, Portugal vs Netherlands coming up.
See ya later Devlyn.  

Portugal vs Netherlands. Did anyone else think that was a pretty ugly game?

You really picked some unexciting matches to watch there Sean, unfortunately. Hopefully you caught Argentina - Servia & Montenegro to offset that.  

Both Hannah and I were shouting at the telly last night to complain about the worst refereeing ever. Total incompetence, and I think Holland definitely deserved an equaliser but there wasn't enough actual football played to let them score it!

Bad luck Holland, and here's to Portugal v England

20 shots, 9 shots on goal and 0 goals by Holland.

This match painfully revealed the disastrous shape of the Dutch strikers :S.

I was surprised Van Nistelrooij didn't play. I was expecting him to come in eventually. I was impressed with Robben and Van Persie; really hard to stop those guys.
England - Portugal is getting to be a classic. Hope England don't bring it.   England haven't been playing very well lately, but they'll step it up against Portugal for sure.
