Italy has always been the favorite of my heart; if not Italy it would be cool if USA finally won one, and third I'd like see England. Would also be nice if one of the African countries won.

Not to be pedantic but "n's" indicates that something belongs to "n" (apostrophe of possession). To indicate plural existence of this particular letter, I think, the correct usage should be "ns" (or "Ns" to prevent confusion).
On with football.

I live in hope....
I like the avatar. Is that Heath Ledger? He looks a bit different.
Oh well, allowing for the fact that I know one end of a football pitch from another, I'll go for Botswana.
LOL. you havent seen them play. No one supports them here, everybody and I mean everybody is tired of our soccer team. Their own supporters are the MOST angry at them. lol. But you will see, they are masters at the dribble I believe. lolHey, you can never tell what happens in front their own supporters. I will be rooting for SA.
and Botswana. lol. well now... thats out of the frying pan into the fire. Now this is really getting funny. LOL.
But wait, Botswana probably beat SA, if they ever come up against each other.
Taking all bets....Odds to win according to one website: --
Italy, Holland, France and Portugal are four European teams who shouldn’t be written off. Each team is capable of winning the World Cup if they can find their form at the right time. Italy and Holland topped their qualification groups, where as France and Portugal struggled and had to win playoff matches.

I picked Cameroon, but actually meant to choose Ivory Coast. Can it be changed, please? If not, that's OK, I just wanted to 'bet on' the best African team.
Hey man, they let the Toronto Blue Jays play too! That's two countries which is sort of global.not only a few teams from the same country (a la American baseball "world" series)

I voted England, its more of a hope than a prediction.
When England do well in the World Cup... people become nicer! Pubs get an atmosphere better than any saturday night football match, because everyones on the same side. We used to get time off school to watch the England matches in the main hall.
On the note that I despise football wholeheartedly. I'll root for England to win in the World Cup no matter what ^_^ Same as I root for England in 3 Day Eventing, or in random Olympic sports I don't like either. Its just what you do ^_^ ... nice weather and an England win, people will be a lot happier! (Plus my boss is a football fan and he really should be happy!)
