The worlds most popular sporting event is here. My countdown of the ten headlines... 1)LOYALTY, PATRIOTISM OR FAMILY FEUD… Eduardo will take the field for Croatia against his native land. A family is divided when the Boateng brothers match against each other for the second time as Germany battle Ghana. Diego Costa is on a mission to prove that Brazil made a bad decision in forever overlooking him thus making him to become a Spanish Citizen and represent Spain. 2)POLITICS or SOCCER. Ironically, a billion was spend to host the world cup creating mixed feelings in Brazil since majority of the population are poor and would prefer food and other necessities instead of being a world cup host. Because of that, a huge chunk of Brazilians would cheer for Brazils archrival Argentina .According to them a Brazilian triumph will endorse the current regime. 3)WORLD STAGE: Messi and Ronaldo are yet to take over a world cup. Could this year finally be the time for either one of them? Remember Pele was named as the greatest soccer player ever solely because of his performance in a world cup. 4)COACHING DECISION: : Klinsman would forever be criticized for leaving Donovan and if Argentina fails to go any further, Sabella will be asked if leaving the reincarnated Carlos Tevez out was a right decision. 5)MIA…..So sad that for whatever reason we would have to miss the skills of Tevez, Ibrahimovic, Nasri, Falcao, Ribery, Donovan, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Walcott.. 6)The GOLDEN ROJA….Can the golden generation of Spain complete the impossible task of defending the World Cup as they did with the European Cup? 7)THE ALMOST and THE UNFORTUNATE!! Will the Netherlands and Portugal ever get a breakthrough in a world cup? Will England ever find the missing puzzle??? Or will a tournament team in Germany go one further by winning the world cup??? 8)WHAT A HOST!!!!…..Is it world cup #6 on home soil for Brazil?? 9)THE DARK CONTINENT…Harsh world cup for Africa again. Ghana, which is the strongest African team is in the zone of death. Ivory Coast is just not dependable and Cameroon and Nigeria do not look like the great indomitable lions or Super Eagles of Old. Algeria is Algeria. 10)DARK HORSES:: Belgium lead the line as my dark horse. But France could also be another dark horse given their previous world cup history. Finalist to Worse, Finalist to Worse!
