    I still think that it should be mandatory for them to put news in inverted commas.


    Sky Sports sources understand...

    The one thing good about this World Cup is the matches are on at a good time for people who work, most people get home at 5 or a little later. 5,8 and 11 (I know the Japan/Ivory Coast game is the latest at 2 a.m) not bad at all. Does anyone remember the world cup in South korea and Japan, matches at 6 and 8 a.m that was crazy.

    The amount of people I know who think they've got the "inside scoop" by saying Belgium are "dark horses".

    They're 5th favourite!

    I gave my wife €50 and told her to go out tonight and not come back until the football was finished.

    "I won't need that much," she laughed.

    "You will," I said. "It's got to last you five weeks."

    I think Bosnia will surprise a few people. Think Greece will be decent too

    God no Greece are still playing that negative style of football, I hate seen it doing well that kind of football.

    Chile for me, can see Bosnia doing well too and Colombia surprising a few people with the way they cope after the loss of Falcao

    Chile will be the strongest outsider/underdog but they need to top the group to go far in the competition. Can't see them beating Brazil in a knockout tie.
    I think Japan could surprise a few people. They've finally sorted out their goal-scoring problems and they're one of the best teams to watch going forward. They have some experience of the climate/stadiums from the Confederations Cup last year.
