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.

This is a good question for the U.S. team.

oh wow, that's tough.   Demsey Donovan Altidore Wondo Although I like Gomez and E. Johnson.

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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
