Yes, Holland. "Why Holland?", you may ask. Well, history has shown us that the main favorite(s) almost never win the World Cup, as they will be marked out as threats quickly, and found out eventually. With Holland, you have a team that qualified solidly but understatedly - a good combination. Add to the fact that this Dutch squad is looking very good this year.
I would've expected this to be an active thread. I was wrong. =/

Anyways: so far, so good for Holland. Just won its second match against Japan, so that leaves them at 6 points after 2 games. The only way to not get first or second place in Group E(??) is that Cameroon wins tonight against Denmark.

Other than that (and I hope I won't offend anyone by saying this), I really hope Germany gets eliminated in the Group phase. Really, I like German people, its just that it's different during football.
Well, quite off the mark with Argentina in your bracket :P

I hope Cameroon wins against Denmark. Right now they are 1-1
Cameroon lost, so they are eliminated. This also means Holland placed for the next Round! :D
For you guys against Germany, don't worry they don't often win anything :P
COME ON SOUTH KOREA! WOOOP.

Yeah, I've been suppporting South korea during the Cup. Was a good plan I see, what with England doing so badly and all.

COME ON SOUTH KOREA.

That is all.
I support Brazil :D too bad to see Spain in such state :wacko: I expected much more from David Villa and Torres and it was not up to the standard. Also I cried when Kaka got a red card! :(
At the moment USA were late and the French forfeited, now England are left to fight Germany. Sound familiar?

As I believe and noticed that South Africa was that much busy with world cup preparations. And also can say that new stadiums have been developed with the world cup in mind.
