World cup is getting started this week. I have already started watching soccer channel for the last two weeks. Now the drama and intensity has reached the top, only to become better. Almost all the teams have reached Berlin or on their way. This world cup is all about beating Brazil. I agree with everyone's perception that Brazil would most likely remain as the world champions. I am going to follow two teams for this world cup and want them to meet in the final - England and Brazil. 

With 60-70% of the players considered to be "the" best in their positions, Brazil has come back to this world cup as the team to beat. Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, and Adriano are considered the golden quadrilateral. I won't be surprised if one of the teams - Japan, Croatia and Australia end up with a defeat of 8-0 or 10-0. Brazil has already plans to go with three strikers and powerful midfielders. Of course, they have few of the best defenders in Cafu, and Roberto Carlos. Coaches of all the other teams are already busy in watching the tapes and figuring out ways to keep the ball away from all Brazil stars. 

Wayne Rooney, if he makes it - England has very good chance of making all the way to final and finish it off even if it is Brazil against them. For all England fans, Wayne's recovery is the most inquisitive and the most awaited result on the 7th. Even if he is not there, Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, David Bekham would carry their team's hopes. I am not a big fan of Crouch. He constantly hits the goal area, but usually not productive. However, his hat trick against Jamaica is very good news for England meaning young Walcott sitting out for sure. Ashley Cole and Ferdinand are there to defend the ball for England. Reliable mid fielders Joe Cole and Lampard are always there for David. 

So, I am rooting for England vs Brazil final. Join me in watching this world cup. It should be a great one!
