Would really love to see a new name inscribed on the world cup trophy, belgium on paper seem to have a good enough squad to go all the way.
Would also love to see a good performance from yaya and ivory coast, they also have a strong side and in a relatively easy group, with yaya, toure, gevinho, kalou, drogba, zakora, eboue,wilfried,cheick - thats enough experience.

How shall we watch this with games starting at 2am & some at 5am Kenya time?? Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

ScheduleI had checked on the link above,change from 'local time' to 'your time'.Earliest game starts 7pm...most late starts at 4am.

Check the schedule again and also the one below that is based on UK time.....similar to what we use for EPL matches! Atleast we'll get a chance to catch all the games unlike the 2002 WC held in South Korea and Japan where most matches were screened mid morning! We'll only have one game starting at 4 am (Ivory Coast Vs Japan), the rest of the games including knock-out stages will be screened between 7 pm to 1 am! The final will be at 11 pm hivi. http://www.bbc.com/sport...tball/world-cup/fixtures

Who is your favourite to lift the cup? Still have hopes for Spain taking it once more...But still worried by the current failure by tiki taka teams and the takeover by kupark bus Am also hoping Belgium will perform well and pull a Semi's shocker. IMITATION IS LIMITATION

I was in class 7, and my uncles would force us to go sleep as they watched; but trust boys and thank God for the mianyas in wooden houses. We would watch the games through them.....until your team scores, you forget you were hiding, celebrate and all hell brakes loose.

IMO that squad is simply not good enough, unlike previous squads it lacks experience, pace and creativity. The midfield is also packed with defensive midfielders. I don't understand why Lucas Moura was left out. @Admin.....Kindly merge the two World Cup threads!

Plus Oscar and willain are enough of the attacking MFs. Selecao's strength has always been in their defensive play http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27281923
