The Big Questions

As the World Cup approaches, I will attempt to examine some of the major questions surrounding the upcoming tournament. So, my big questions are as follows:
Will the U.S. be able to get out of the group stage?

Can the U.S. finally prove that it can play in a tournament that matters?

Will South Africa be able to host the World Cup without a disaster?

Who will be wearing the captain's band for England when June comes around? Rooney? Rio Ferdinand?

Can anybody stop Brazil and Spain? If so, who?

Will England be able to break its recent history of early World Cup departures and failures?

Who will emerge from the Group of Death? (This time around, be very weary of Group G, featuring Brazil, Portugal, the Ivory Coast, and the not-so-threatening North Korea)

Speaking of North Korea, will they score a goal?

Does France deserve to be in this tournament?

Feel free to post up any questions, as I'm sure I'm missing some, and comment on any of the questions. I'll be posting up a response to these questions relatively soon, so stay tuned.

  1. Will North Korea score a goal?

    No, but Kim Jung-IL will claim that he scored a hat-trick the first time he ever played soccer.

  2. Actually, Kim Jung-Il would probably say that he chipped the goalie from 90 yards away while looking at his own net, blindfolded, in golden goal to beat Brazil the first time he played soccer.

  3. OK, you're probably right, but that was his third goal of the match.
