WHO WILL WIN THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2010?

Let the fever begin! Who will win the World Cup this time around in South Africa? Look at the odds below. Who can win the Golden Boot? Look at the odds below too.

The matches are played at our local Malaysian and Singaporean time of 7:30pm, 10:00pm and 2:30am. There are a lot of nice matches to be played at Champions League timing (2:30am). Imagine Champions League football for the entire month! The semi-finals, the third placing and final are all played at 2:30am too. The 7:30pm timing is the worst, with just one match worth mentioning. The 10pm has only half as much of exciting matches to watch.

I want Spain or Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup 2010. I want England to have a chance too but their chances seem to be lower than Spain and Argentina in my football dictionary. As for the golden boot winner, I see Luis Fabiano as a good contender for the crown, looking at how deep he plays, his opponents and the support he gets. David Villa, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez have the chances too and I rank them slightly behind Luis Fabiano, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Kaka as the third level.

If you catch all the matches listed below, you already need to watch 17 out of 64 matches. If you add all the matches in Round of 16 and the quarter-finals, you have 12 more matches. That will give you a grand total of 29/64 matches to catch!

One tip to give you guys is to change your sleeping time. I know many people who can't just change their sleep time easily. I normally sleep early at night to enable myself to wake up at 2:30am. If you must sleep later, then try to wake up for the 2nd half. At least you catch half the match or more if extra time is added.
