Ok ok ok... I know I said I would be updating this blog regularly and it wouldn't be all football related BUT... I've had AS exams recently which has taken up a lot of my time, and haven't really come up with and ideas on what to blog about.
That all changes now though, because tomorrow (well, today actually, it's currently 1:02 am) marks the start of the 2010 WORLD CUP! To anyone who knows me, you will know that as a huge football fan, this is quite a big thing.
So here's what I'm going to do. Every day, I'll be posting a blog about the days world cup goings on, with brief overviews on what's happened in each match, any controversies or notable moments, off the field incidents and my predictions on the next days fixtures.
So without further ado, my predictions for World Cup Day 1, 11/06/10:
South Africa 1-1 Mexico
South Africa will be looking to get off to a good start in front of their own fans, but may rely too much on Stephen Pienar as their source of creativity. Mexico are a far more defense minded team, which may well make for a low scoring team, but SA's weak defence means I'm going to go for a draw in this one.
Uruguay 1-3 France
The last time these two met in the world cup, it ended in a boring 0-0 draw, with both sides crashing out of the tournament in the group stages, and both failing to score a single goal. There shoudl be no such boredom this time around though. Uruguay have a powerful attack with two world class strikers in Forlan and Suarez, but for me, France will just be too strong with the likes of Henry, Benzima, Anelka and Ribery. It should be a terrific match up though.
