Posted on 12. Mar, 2010 by admin in Football
The 2010 Fifa World Cup should prove to be one of the finest competitions yet – often, one of the major nations do not reach the finals, however this year, the only casualty in the qualifying rounds was Russia. The tournament will be the 19th World Cup, and the first to be held in Africa. The following articles provide a team by team profile of the nations who have excellent chances of lifting the trophy come the summer of 2010. Firstly, we assess Brazil’s credentials and offer variety of stats that paint a picture of their World Cup history. Although the team are not considered favourites for the next competition because of their relatively inexperienced squad, many experts and critics still suggest it will be the South American’s who lift the trophy come the end of the World Cup 2010.
Next, we analyse England’s chances of winning the tournament – and after being handed a generally favourable draw in the group stages, they are currently the team on everybody’s lips. Could we see a repeat of the 1966 glory year for the country? After this, we offer a guide to the Germany team set to be on the plane to South Africa.
Despite being written off by almost everyone but their own fans, the Germans will inevitably be hard to defeat – they always are – and are unlikely to lose cheaply. Finally, we assess Diego Maradona’s Argentinean team – a side that have showed baffling form in the qualification rounds. Messi and company were at one minute being humiliated by lesser known opposition and minnow countries, and the next, comfortably defeating the top sides in the South American group. Our concluding articles assesses whether the star-studded team will have enough of a defensive mindset to stop the likes of Spain, England, and Brazil.
