That magical time is upon us my friends. We are within days of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Hopefully, everything goes over smoothly and we can simply enjoy the greatness of the event. The USA should, repeat, should make it out of their Group, and then who knows what. Look for traditional powers to be there at the end. Interesting note…. No Northern Hemisphere team has ever won a World Cup when it has been hosted in the Southern Hemisphere (Courtesy of Eds). Here are Unathletics predictions for Winner and Leading Scorer….

2010 World Cup Winner

I’m going to buck the trend here and go with in-form Spain. Team is lethal and I like their path to the championship. Other teams that were carefully considered were Brazil and Argentina (Southern Hemisphere), and my personal choice the Netherlands. Spain wins.

Leading Scorers

1.) Robin Van Persie (Netherlands)
2.) Lionel Messi (Argentina)
3.) David Villa (Spain)
4.) Alberto Gilardino (Italy)
5.) Robinho (Brazil)
