I think Brasil will win (on the pitch, the sponsors and FIFA will win massively off the pitch)

I am going for Howard Webb or Davide Moyes

Yes, today is the first day of the World Cup or, as they say in Scotland, Thursday.

I heared that EA Games FIFA 2014 has predicted Germany as winner. And many friends recommend Spain.
However I am gonna to recommend Brazil and Portugal.

Well I'm English so obviously I have to believe that, really, this time, we've got a chance. And absolutely refuse to contemplate any other winners until we get knocked out.

You are placed in the toughest group.
Honestly, if you make it past this group, I'm sure you will be able to quite well this World Cup.

Here in the US we crown champions as World Champions (baseball, football, basketball) even though we don't participate with the rest of the world. You're idea of "World" Cup including many different countries is such a silly idea.

American by birth, but German by heritage. I go with Germany.
Germany finished a strong third in 2010. I liked their patient, methodical play.
What we got here is a failure to communicate

A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes, and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat.
Naturally, the Doctor asked him, 'What happened to YOU?'
'Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our golf balls into a field of cattle.
We went to look for them and while I was looking around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end.'
'I walked over, lifted its tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it - stuck right in the mid dle of the cow's fanny.
Still holding the cow's tail up, I yelled to my wife, 'Hey, this looks like yours!''
'I don't remember much after that'....

"...stuck right in the mid dle of the cow's fanny."
Really?
That must have been some shot.
Or perhaps you do not know what a fanny is.
It isn't what you think it is!

Huh, I didn't actually know the US and British English got out of sync on that one. Seems like quite a cockup.

I remember seeing a bugs bunny cartoon in which bugs was a customer in a diner and daffy duck the waiter.
At one point bugs yelled out "Hey, get your feathered fanny over here".
Not the sort of language you expect to see on kid's TV in Britain.

A lot of the American cartoons of the time had a lot of strange language for something intended for children to watch.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

I remember Ronnie Corbett appearing on Top of the Pops in the 70's singing a song called "Fanny"[^] - it caused great hilarity in the schoolyard!
