First of all...the World Cup 2014 draw.
My thoughts for my two teams. First of all, the USA. The home country, and the main one I'll be rooting for. They've been drawn into quite a group. Many people have been calling it a group of death. And, except for the more supportive fans, most aren't giving them a chance. They're saying the group will end up how it was posted. I say it'll be a tad different. I'm thinking this order: Germany, USA, Portugal, Ghana. Never count the US out. Example: Gold Cup 2009 Semifinals. USA defeated Spain to move on to the final. Germany of course will be number one in the group because they're just too good to be otherwise. Portugal is where the US has their chance to make it to number two. Portugal hasn't been in the best form, and even though they have Christiano Ronaldo, which will majorly increase your chances to win, no matter who you are, they still don't have everything together. If you shut Ronaldo down, they can be a more mediocre side. Just remember, never count us out.
Next we move on to Argentina, team number two. I tend to be fairly vocal about the fact that I'm a Messi fan, and although that sounds like I'm just a bandwagon fan for Argentina, they really do have a solid team, especially on the attacking side. With names like Sergio Aguero, Di Maria, and Gonzalo Higuain, you really can't go wrong. Their group, group F, is probably going to be one of the easier groups out there for them. The main question is, can Lionel Messi stay fit for the World Cup? He's had a string of injuries for the past number of months and just recently got injured again. Argentina has plenty of attacking power on their side, but, like Ronaldo, Messi dramatically increases any team's chances of a win. I know that this is about Argentina, but another question about Messi arises. Will his scoreless 2010 World Cup come back to haunt him? Because if Argentina is to win, they're gonna need his help. And that means he's gonna need to make it on the score sheet. They'll no doubt be number one in their group unless they somehow crash. The only question is, how far will they push into the tournament?
Second, boot color preference. For me, I don't mind either bright or dark. I'll wear whatever I have, although history has shown me more with bright colors than dark. I just wanna play basically. Whatever helps me play well is what I like. My indoors are completely black Nike5 Gatos, but my boots for my sunday night games are my bright yellow f50's. I don't think there's a wrong color to wear, so long as you have your style and stick to it.
Finally, any boots I wanna try out? Most definitely. The new Adizero, of course, The Nike CTR360 Maestri 2 and 3, the Predator LZ 1 or 2, and the Puma Evospeed. Pretty much in that order.
Well, I think I'll leave it at that. Next week will be a double feature. I'll be back to normal before you know it!
