Its prob gonna be USA, England and Brazil to win once again. Brazil wont accept any bribes from these countries. A lot of this happens in this sport even the commissioner acknowledge this fact. I think Nike or sponsored the Brazilian team and Nike will pay them a few hundred Million if they are able to hold the cup. As for Zidane the Italian player was talking smack about his sister, it wasn't the first he went overboard with it. it seem Zidane was holding it back but the guy pushed him to the limit. I don't think its a blemish on him it was a great way to go out LOL. That Italian guy deserved it and then some.
if an asian team gets a medal that would be great. Hopefully they have honor and don't sell out to the other countries. Funny how African teams always sellout, they usually have one star player and the rest are nobodies. Well i suppose being offered 1 mil euro or dollars will help a player greatly.
