It’s time again for the World Cup! It begins on June 11 and runs until the 11th July. There are 32 teams that will compete. They are separated into eight groups of four teams each. The best two teams from each group will advance to the second round. The favorites include Brazil, England, Spain, Argentina, Italy and Portugal. It will be hosted in South Africa, and this is the first World Cup to be hosted on African soil. So it’s time to get your kit on and show support for your team!

The 2010 World Cup is almost upon us. It kicks off June 11 with a game between the host country, South Africa, and Mexico. The championship game will be played on July 11. During the month between those two games, 32 teams will fight it out for the right to be called the best football team in the world. National pride will be at stake, and the teams will give it their all to do their country proud.

This is a historic World Cup. Never before has a World Cup been hosted on African soil. Nelson Mandela will be on hand for the opening and closing games of the tournament. Never before has a host team not made it into the second round. Unfortunately for South Africa, they are in a very tough group.The 32 teams are split into eight groups of four teams each. They all play each other, and the two teams that accrue the most points will advance into the second round. South Africa’s group includes two very tough teams in Mexico and France, so they will have a tall order in trying to advance.

England has a great chance in this World Cup. Their group includes the United States, Algeria, and Slovenia. Of the three, only the Yanks have any chance of giving England trouble. England should easily advance into the second round, and they have a very good shot of making a deep run into the tournament. Don’t be surprised to see them playing Brazil in the championship match. The United States will probably be the other team to advance from England’s group.

Some of the other favorites to host the trophy at tourney’s end include Brazil, Italy, Argentina, Spain and Portugal. Once again, the consensus seems to be that Brazil has the best chance to come out victorious in this World Cup that is full of talent. Anything can happen, and it will probably be a team that not many believe in that will rise up and shock the world. It is also worth noting that Spain is the number one ranked team in the world right now.

If you want to dress in style for the World Cup, it is a good idea to buy a replica football kit. You can proudly display England’s rich colours, and you will be admired by your friends and family. After the end of the World Cup, you can wear the replica football kit at your local park in a five a side game. Wear your colours proudly and cheer England on to victory!
