Best World Cup Internet Sites

I’ve been bookmarking my favourite World Cup Sites and I thought I’d share them with you. if you have any sites you think should be on the list, leave the url as a comment and I’ll add the site. Also, let me know who you think is going to win – I’ll start a poll later on today.

I can’t believe the World Cup starts tomorrow! For the last four years I’ve been reading and hearing how this is England’s best chance to win the World Cup. I’m not a true believer, as even though England have some good players they never seem to play well as a team. I also think they are going to struggle without Rooney – I don’t think he’s going to take part. My theory is that their abilities are balanced better with their club teams e.g. Chelsea have Makelele to mop up after Lampard, Beckham has a great team around him in Spain etc etc. Anyway I’ll be cheering England on all the way and I won’t ever stop believing like in the great MarsBelieve Campaign.

Brazil are the favourites, but I don’t agree. I think the climate will suit European players or players used to playing in Europe so I’m going for Argentina to win and they are slowly creeping up the ‘Who Will Win The World Cup Poll’ as the majority of their team play their club football in Europe. I know lots of people will disagree with me.
