Official World Cup Thread

Who do all of you think will win the World Cup this year? Is it going to be a favourite like Brazil or Italy, a team at the World Cup for the first time in a long time like Czech Republic or Netherlands, or a suprise team like the USA. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.

P.S. The only reason I didnt put England as a favourite is because without Wayne Rooney playing I dont know how far they can and will go.

Cole given all clear

Ashley Cole has been given the all-clear to play in the World Cup after a scan revealed that he had sustained no injury during England's 6-0 win over Jamaica.

The Arsenal left-back was also feeling his groin as he was replaced by Wayne Bridge, suggesting that he may also have sustained a groin injury.

England manager Sven Goran-Eriksson said: "The doctors don't think it is any big problems at all."

Jamaica started promisingly but comical defending allowed England to take a 4-0 lead in the first half alone.

Amongst the 6-0 goals was a hat-trick from Peter Crouch.

Van Persie to play

Netherlands boss Marco van Basten is will replace Dirk Kuyt with Robin van Persie for tonight's friendly match with Australia.

van Persie will line up at the front of a 4-3-3 formation, alongside an all-Premiership strikeforce including Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben.

Van Basten said: "You come to the conclusion that van Persie is so good it would be a shame not to use him."
