Welcome to World Cup Month!

It's officially World Cup month! The first game kicks off in 7 days, 21 hours, 13 minutes and 55 seconds ... now 54 ... 53. A few injury notes:
  • Czech Republic midfielder Vladimir Smicer has been ruled out of the tourney with a leg injury. The Czechs are banged up, old and more and more I'm beginning to think that they can be had. I still think Italy is the class of our group, but second place (and a date with Brazil in the next round) looks up for grabs.
  • England defender Gary Neville is nursing a hamstring injury of his own. If he can't go, Jamie Carragher would be a more than adequate replacement.
  • Sticking with the theme, Brazilian defender Edmilson is out the Cup with a knee injury. But Brazil is so stacked that they could stick me in at defense to replace him and still win this thing.

Hold on the Italian's are not that good. They tend to fall down to much looking for free kicks sissies they are. But I like England
