Out of PIIGS, three teams playing in this WCup: Spain, Greece & Portugal. If any of them wins the final, it could be the turning point for global economy. Another theory doing rounds is that the Cup has been alternating between South Amercian and European countries.
Any bets? I'm supporting Kaka's Brazil. |

Interesting theory about PIIGS Kulman. In fact there is evidence to support the fact that the economies of the countries hosting or winning mega spectacles like Olympics and World Cup get a big boost due to the overall rise in optimism of their populations.
All the PIIGS except Ireland are in the fray and at least 3 of them (Italy, Portugal & Spain) have very strong teams with a realistic chance of grabbing the title.
About the fact that the cup is usually won by the country from the host continent, all the participating PIIGS are geographically very close to Africa.
So now please quickly advise us how to buy index funds investing in IBEX-35, S&P-MIB and PSI-20.

I have been watching most of the matches/highlights of the world cup and except korea and argentina, most of the teams seem to be lacking the spark or are yet not off the mark.
From whatever I saw from Messi, he could be a player to watch. Amazing ball control and passing skills. ------------- Stockmarket is a weird place. For every person who buys a stock there is a person who sells it and both think they are very smart. |

Currently the teams are playing pretty defensive and the co-ordination among players also lack, as they don't play too much with each other as national team. Low scoring and not spectators delight now, hopefully will improve as go along.

In the early phase, the mantra is not to lose points in order to make sure of qualifications for knockout phase. But this year it seems the gap between the quality of the high and low ranked teams has reduced drastically. I saw how Brazil were made to toil by North Korea which is the lowest rank team to qualify for the finals ever. Even the star players seem jaded or out of match practice. To me Messi was the only player to sparkle among most of the superstars I saw. Defence wise, Brazil and Ivory coast look rock solid.

Italy face the ignominy of reigning champions exiting in the first round of World cup, having lost to slovakia by 3-2.
I watched the match and most of the Italian players looked very lethargic and jaded. They were very slow to chase balls and defending at times was woeful.

Yeah but Argentina makes for it through their all-through-the-game attacks. Considering game tactics, I think Clinsmann scores against Maradona. Argentinian game is Messy-centric, most teams defense is planned for him. And most of the time he turns out to be the goal-maker rather than the goal-scorer, and that is the point with Argentina. ------------- Progress isn't made by early risers.

With World Cup in progress, some basic simple facts that you've just got to know.
Why football is played for 45 minutes in each half? Those who thought of this must have lots of time Why people play football for 45 minutes, not 30 minutes or 1 hour? Even the sports scientist and some of the senior players could not give the right answer. In that confusing situation one person came up with a reasonable answer. He said......." The reason people play this game for 45 minutes is... There are 2 teams and there are 11 players in each team. Each player brings his own "2 balls". So in total there are 44 balls. There is one ball on the ground itself. Thus the grand total is 45. Question Answered !!! Sometimes there is extra time of 2 mins; these are the referee's balls!

What an unbelievable end to the Ghana v Uruguay match. My sympathies to Asamoh Gyan, to turn from potential hero to zero in one second must have really hurt. ------------- When all else is lost, the future still remains. - Christian Nestell Bovée |

Germany were brilliant in their decimation of Argentina!! Maradona thought Mueller was a ballboy in one of press confernces in the past... German Ace Striker introduced himself to the Argentina Coach by scoring within first 5 minutes
Spain versus Paraguay was such a letdown... Spain Cheated, they had the goalpost playing for them too  Imagine the ball hit the goalpost thrice before it went in..
Germany will reach the final for sure now.. All my previous calls have failed
This world cup has shown that football is a team game and individual brilliance could not stand against teamwork...
A hidden message for the team at TED.. ------------- nannu |

ya i think brasil were just over the top a little bit... the got really frustrated... and the frustration brought the downfall... spain becomes a strong contender i feel... and my sense is that spain will beat germany... spaniards tend to play tough teams really well... and struggle against the relatively weak teams...
Spain all the way!... or shud I say Barcelona all the way!

Yeah, And even he refused to share the stage with him in that conference. This was a sweet revenge from Mueller.
Brazil ditched me, what a disastrous game they played !! My second call was Germany !!
CORRECT, nannu ... ------------- Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something |
