World Cup 2010 - 30 days and counting.

Being that it is now 30 days before the FIFA World Cup 2010 kicks off, I thought it appropriate to give my amateur rundown of my opinion on some of the favorites to win the cup and some of the dark horses. (Most of the teams have picked have a provisional squad, which is to be trimmed to 23 players before the tournament begins).

Argentina have goal scorers in Messi and Tevez, if they are on fire, Argentina will be hard to contain.

Brazil will always pose a threat even minus the omission of Ronaldinho. Kaka and co will provide plenty of class.

Germany have Ballack, Shweinsteiger and Podolski and when they fire, Germany fire.

Holland did not pick goal scoring sensation Van Nistellroy, though the likes of Van Persie, Robben and Sneijder definitely give the Dutch a chance.

Spain have injury concerns with Torres, Iniesta and Fabregas though if fit, they could follow up on their Euro 2008 crown.

Then there are some teams like England, Portugal, France and Italy. They could be threatening.

I'll throw in some dark horses in Serbia, Ivory Coast and Denmark.

May the best team win.
