Millions of red-eyed bleary workers will be reporting for work tomorrow with productivity significantly down for a whole month.
More than a billion Ringgit will change hands and that is just here in BolehLand.
The first world cup I truly remembered was in 78 where the likes of Pasarella, Ardiles and Kempes destroyed everything in their path to win it. Since then I have always been supporting Argentina for every world cup.
I like the fiery passion that they play with and they treat every game as if their lives depended on it.
However at the last world cup Argentina was booted out in the first round.
"Maradona the player; can he be Maradona the manager to get his grubby mitts on the WC?"This world cup, Maradona has tinkered with the team until they looked almost unrecognisable.
He dropped Riquelme; to me the best playmaker in the world for ex-Man U's aging Veron.
Maradona and team also lost a qualifying match 6-0...unheard of for Argentina!!
However with the likes of Messi, Tevez, Higuain and Milito; they SHOULD qualify the group stages.
BTW my second favourite has always been Italy.
I think Holland and the Germany might also do well this world cup.
Anyway, I think that this is the most open world cup ever with no clear cut favourites.
WIth predictions abound, financial institutions are also using mathematics and their own analysis to predict who will win.
JP Morgan has predicted England with Spain as runner-ups.
UBS Wealth Management Research has predicted Brazil while Goldman Sachs has said Brazil has a 13.76% chance of winning .(Source: The New Paper Spore)
Even some witchdoctors in Africa have got in on the act and predicted an African team will win it !!
So who do you support and who do you think will win ?
Bets are being laid so bring it on !!!
