This could be the most wide open world cup in years. No clear favourite. No team really firing on all cylinders. I've just put a cheeky bet on Argentina. So much firepower and it being in south america swayed me

As I've said before, I believe the US will win a World Cup before the much prophecised (and seemingly delayed) African breakthrough, but that doesn't mean that they're going to win of course. T

I'm sure that's what America would like to think, and I'm equally sure there's some currency in it, but by the same logic think yourself lucky that India has never taken to baseball (3 times America's

After the 2010 WC, I predicted that it would be Germany and Brazil in the finals of the 2014 WC. I haven't seen anything to make me think otherwise. FWIW, here are the groups. We definitely have the m

I can't argue that but you can't count out Germany, Spain or Brazil.   I'm really looking forward to it.

Yeah I agree. Those are the four I would pick. I think they will make room for Eddie somehow. No idea who I would start against Ghana.

People should be paying close attention to Belgium during the world cup. They have a relatively straight forward group and have some of the most impressive young players around. Hazard and Kompany to name a few. Adnan Januzaj has also declared his allegience to Belgium so I wouldn't be surprised if he makes an appearance at the world cup. Definately a team with massive potential for the future.

I think the only problem with the Belgium team in this world cup is the starting 11 is great but as a squad i think they are lacking a bit of strength in depth.

I'm not sure who is going to lift the cup but I am going to have a daft e/w bet on the French as they provide some value for money.

That is a bit of an issue with the Belgian team. They do lack the depth as other nations. But there bench can do a job. I am really hoping that they will do well this year. Love seeing a young team doing well.

The US left Landon Donovan off the team.  They will not win or tie a game and be gone quickly.

I was not completely surprised, but this is in a way very shocking!  How could he not be valuable even as a sub?

That doesn't surprise me since he stepped away from the world cup qualifiers. They do need him. I see an early exit.

It appears Klinsman is just trying to get some experience for younger players.  Landon had to know this could happen taking all that time off.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Played Musgrove Mill today. 72.3/155. +9 for 15 official holes as 2 holes are closed, and the par 5 16th plays as a converted par 3. We played the first three holes over to finish 18, and parred 1 and2 amped bogeyed 3. The good: hit every fairway. 1 less than normal for the converted par 3, but the second time I have done that this year. My sand wedge approach on 10 after a monster drive hit the pin in the back left corner hit he pin and spun away to 9’, and I missed the putt.   The great: hit 8 GIR and 7 were inside 10’. Needs work: Missed every birdie putt. No lip-outs. Just struggled on fast greens. Three-putted the par-5 9th with the pin on the back tier and jut missed hitting my approach to the proper level and it spun all the way to the front of the green.
