The World Cup - By Josh D

The World cup




This year in South Africa it is the 2010 football Fifa world cup. The world cup is when 32 of the best national teams compete for the world cup trophy and to be the best national team in the world. The national teams are split into groups of 4 and they all play each other. The top 2 from each group going through to the super 16 or the last 16 teams after qualifying for almost 3 years before the tournament to try and get in. I predict that it will be a Spain vs. Brazil final and Spain will win although I am hoping that Australia might go through but it is not looking good after the terrible defeat to Germany. After the super 16 they go through to the quarter finals and then the semis and so on... Brazil have won the most titles and Italy have won the last world cup that was held in Germany. South Africa have been building lots of stadiums Soccer city in Johannesburg being the largest by far with a capacity of 88,460. In South Africa supporters have been blowing Vuvuzelas in the world cup like crazy and slightly annoying the players after some complaints. I think that they are great when you are blowing them not when anyone else is. Also the ball that addidas payed 300m dollars for 7 years use people are saying it is a bit unpredictable and it could turn any way.



I think the world cup is great fun and everybody enjoys it a lot.
