At last it’s here! Next Thursday, the World cup begins, as Brazil take on Croatia. I cannot wait for this tournament and expect it to be a classic. There is so much pessimism surrounding this year’s competition (the strikes, the extremely poor preparations, corruption etc.) that expectations are extremely low. The contrast between this and the pre-tournament excitement before Africa 2010 is immense. Consider then what a dire World Cup that one proved to be. Even a moderately good set of games this time around will surpass expectations. Unfortunately for England I don’t rate our chances at all.
