Domestic season done, World Cup hurry up!

So this is why I'm not a bookie. 3-0 it wasn't. Although if the goals were inches wider I might have underestimated the scoreline. But how different could this FA Cup final have been if Kevin Prince-Boateng hadn't wasted his chance to be a hero? As it was, within two minutes Didier Drogba was filling his customary role as Chelsea hero, warming up for Brazil and Portugal next month no doubt. To coin just the one cliche - football's a funny old game. The message to take from this, is that when I make my World Cup predictions, don't rush down to Ladbrooks or Coral. One thing's for sure - Lawro's cushty job for BBC on-line isn't in jeopardy.
The World Cup manager with most to worry about appears to be Joachim Low, who's captain Michael Ballack suffered an ankle injury via a late clallenge from Boateng. With the last games in some European leagues, and the Champions League final in Madrid on Wednesday, there will be some nervous managers around the world biting their fingernails.
I'm going to signpost a taster of what you have to look forward to. There will be the usual host city factfiles, predictions, player's to look out for and team profiles and past World Cup nostalgia, which is always a favourite. But I will also take a more tongue-in-cheek look at the big event. I will look at how the creation of a new government will affect the World Cup in England, what the tournament will be like from a fan's perspective, look out for coaches and personalities, and also, and some would say most importantly, look at how the matches will affect TV schedules!
So hopefully there will be something for everyone, and you guys won't get too bored! And when the action kicks-off with South Africa vs. Mexico on June 11th, there will be a daily update reviewing the action, and signalling out the goal, gaffe, moment and player of the day.
So tune back in at a later date to hopefully read some irreverant analysis in the build-up to said event (I think there's only so many times I can refer to it as the greatest show on Earth). I'm going to start with a simple analysis of Group A, containing the aforementioned South Africa and Mexico, as well as former champions France and Uruguay, in the next couple of days.
