Captain's Log,
It's time for the World Cup once again! All the excitement that has been building over the past four years will culminate in less than an hour. Just as I did four years ago, I am going to make predictions for the games as we go through the tournament and see how well I can predict the results. Feel free to comment with your own predictions. :)
The first game of the tournament will see the hosts, South Africa, pitted against Mexico. Never before has the host nation lost the opening game or failed to reach the second round. This might be the toughest test of that record, since South Africa is considered to be the weakest teams to have ever hosted the tournament. I would love to see the host nation win, because it means so much to the people of that country, but it will be a tough test. I am going to go with the hosts on this one in the belief that they will rise to the occasion when they take the field to the rousing cries and cheers of their nation's devoted fans. Go South Africa!
In the second game, France will play Uruguay. This will be a tough test for the once-powerhouse team France. Their star, Henry, will most likely be on reserve for the first game, and without him they have trouble scoring goals. Uruguay may surprise some today. In addition to injuries, France did not have the easiest time qualifying and their recent friendlies have been a little shaky.
June 11
South Africa is going to win the first game
Uruguay is going to win the second game
All right, that is all for now. I am now going to focus on the game...
