This is the 19th edition of the FIFA Football World Cup, and has been held every 4 years since 1930, except during the second world war. The 2010 edition promises to be one of the most competetive ever, with both asian and african football getting ever more progressed. After the qualification rounds, we are left with 4 teams from Asia, 6 from Africa, 8 from America, 1 from Oceania and 13 from Europe. Since Australia qualified in the Asian pot, New Zealand qualified from Oceania. 10 Stadiums have been built and modernized, from Polokwane to Cape Town to Durban. As for the favorites, South America and Europe are always a force to be reckoned with, what can Maradona do with Argentina? Dunga with Brazil? And can Capello finally get an English team performing? So get your earmuffs out, as we remember from last year, the Vuvuzelas will be out in numbers!
