FIFA World Cup. Are we ready?

 58 days until the biggest sporting tournament on the planet and are the teams ready? By now most coaches have already made up their minds about their final lineups but It seems to me that Japan is still in doubt of what it needs to do to get its act together after a string of disappointing results of draws and losses. My favourites to make it to the semi-finals are Brazil, Spain, Germany and Holland, what are yours?
http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/  is where you can find out more about this event in South Africa. 
It's on 11th of June.

Champions League progressing teams.

 This year has gotten a lot more interesting after Manchester United was knocked out of the Competition by Bayern Munich 4-4 on aggregate, it was an awesome display of courage and the will of winning after going 3-0 down in the first half, Robben and Ribery proved to be the most lethal partnership among all the big clubs at the moment and I wouldn't play down the possibility of Bayern progressing to the Final.
 So it will be Inter vs Barcelona and Bayern vs Lyon in the Semis.
 No English club remaining this year which is a great surprise but in Football anything is possible.
