"World Cup Predicitons Round of 16" by Ronald Carthen

I can't wait to set my alarm in the morning and get ready to watch the first World Cup match of the day between South Africa and Mexico. I enjoy watching 32 soccer teams and many soccers fans show great passion to the greatest sporting event every four years. Today we take a look at who I think will win the 2010 World Cup. A couple of days ago I chose the top teams of each group that'll move on to the second round. I can't wait to show everyone who I think will take home the golden trophy and brag for the next four years how they took some of the best soccer players around the world. Here are my predictions and let the debates begin.
