    A housemate of mine is half-Algerian and so I would've bet a hefty amount of money on Algeria ending up in the same group as England. Just had a funny feeling.

    I think we should probably win our group, but I agree with the general sentiment that people do underrate the USA in this country. Certainly there were other teams in that pot I would've preferred to the Americans. Mostly, however, I just can't wait to get started. Why must we wait another six months?

    Henry won't be player of the tournament as he and the rest of the French team will be left high and dry by Domenech's bewildering tactics etc. No idea about player of the tournment but the Golden Boot winner will be another Salvatore Schillachi, someone who comes from nowhere to score a hatful of goals and then vanishes back into obscurity soon after the tournament ends.

    Hey you know who will be really good? Cesc Fabregas. He'll have a great World Cup. I suspect Theo Walcott will too. I also think Van Persie is a world class player who will surely clean up for Holland if he recovers from injury. And look out for Sagna of the French, he's a diamond in the rough, although his national team mates, Nasri and Gallas, handy too. Nicklas Bendtner, the Danish striker, also looks set to set the world ablaze this Summer. Switzerland could also be deadly, boasting Senderos and Djourou in their ranks! As far as other continents besides Europe are concerned, Kolo Toure and Emanuel Eboue mean Cote D'Ivoire are also going to be a force to be reckoned with, and elsewhere in Africa, I think Alexandre Song will prove rather a handful for all of Cameroon's challengers. Finally, Carlos Vela is a very tidy player and Mexico will be all the better for it.

    The World Cup in South Africa will be a great event to watch on the television and discuss on these forums. Don't you think so?

    Tottenham Hotspur FC's players - such as Jermain Defoe and Wilson Palacios - will have a terrible World Cup because all Tottenham Hotspur FC players are terrible. Anyone agree?

    I'm just saying, guys, that the only way that England can ever win the World Cup is if Arsene Wenger became manager. Not that he ever will because he is doing a wonderful job at a very special club.

    I also think footballs should be round, and not cubes.

    Anyone agree with me about this?

    So your saying that England will definitely win the World Cup?

    No of course not. I am saying that it's a decent group for England, but Algeria and Slovenia did beat Egypt and Russia respectively to get to the World Cup, so they're not too shabby.

    Finally, my statements are being treated as gospel

    Hey charlie I think that football should be played on grass as opposed to in electrified lava but I'd like your opinion on the subject.
