I don't know guys. Brazil is the favourite, but I have a feeling Argentina or Italy might steal the show. Can never count the Germans out no matter how crappy their team is ... and with home field advantage too. I can't wait!

Does anybody know a site that will be broadcasting the games on the Internet? I'll be working late today and I may miss the opening match and I don't want to . I've searched the google for a while, but did not find anything really interesting. Please help ^_^

Thanks in advance!

I won't be watching it, the NBA Finals are more interesting (IMO). It does mean having to stay up late, though.

Why is there always one in public forums that has to say something like that. You see the title, you know what it is about but you still have to post and say "I think NBA finals are more interesting". It's exactly like those peoples who search for Britney Spears fan forums, find one, sign up and then start a thread saying how much she sucks...

It is no pun intended. I just wanted to know what makes one to post something like that... is it boredom?

Germany won 4-2 against Costa Rica today and the Ecuador-Poland game is in progress at 0-0. It has finally started!
I sure wasn't impressed by the inauguration show Germany put on, but I guess you can't do anything about what they have decided (Boring!).
Tomorrow is Paraguay-England, which will be a game worth watching, Since Wayne Rooney isn't playing, Paraguay might have a chance at a tie... Wishful thinking.
