>>I hope Argentina win it :) It would be so nice for an outsider to win it for a change. Tired of the same 3 / 4 teams always winning it. if not Argentina then I hope SA win it :)
SA has had a recent turn... would be better for the game if Japan or USA were to win, but that's no longer possible this time. The gamblers now expect that the final will be between Australia and New Zealand with both knowing from personal experience that pride comes before a fall so they're both focused on their upcoming semifinal.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
