Argentine wunderkind, projected to be a big star at the tournament; is for money. FIFA has put up 15.6 million euros for the winning nation; is for media, 5,000 journalists and photographers, 10,000 TV reporters and technical staff; is for Maradona, Argentine legend, who has this to say about Messi: "He will take over my crown, but he'll never be bigger than me." Claws out! Me-ow!; is for mascot. This World Cup's fuzzy pitchman is the "loveable Lion" Goleo VI, along with his "constant companion" Pille, the talking football (try making this stuff up -- it's impossible), apparently the most human ball of any description since Tom Hanks took an unnatural shine to "Wil-son!" the volleyball in Cast Away.

He was incomparable," said Sir Bobby Charlton upon naming Duncan Edwards to his all-time England XI. "I feel terrible trying to explain to people just how good he was." An English football legend in his own right, Charlton continued, "His death was the biggest, single tragedy ever to happen to Manchester United and English football.
As he lay on his deathbed, the young man asked assistant manager Jimmy Murphy, "What time is the kickoff against Wolves, Jimmy? I can't afford to miss this match." Murphy, whose scouting talents uncovered several of the Babes, later reflected upon Edwards' potential and ability. "When I used to hear Muhammad Ali proclaim to the world he was the greatest," he said, "I would smile. You see, the greatest of them all was an English footballer named Duncan Edwa...

Similarly, Ivory Coast will be fancying its chances. Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is one of the world's purest goal-scorers and in Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue, both of whom play for Arsenal, they are sure to be tight at the back as well. Barcelona's Yaya Toure will hold the midfield together. And one of Sevilla's Arouna Kone, Lens' Aruna Dindane, or Lyon's Abdul Kader Keita will partner Drogba in attack.
Like Nigeria, Cameroon will employ an attack-first philosophy. Barcelona hitman Samuel Eto'o is the face of the team. After recovering from a lingering knee injury, he has hit the ground running -- scoring three goals in four games for the Catalans. In the midfield, manager Otto Pfister will be able to call on the likes of Lille's Jean Makoun, Atalanta's Alain Nkong, Arsenal's Alexan...

PREDICTION: England. Portugal's playing by far the better football but those two suspensions leaves Scolari facing some key adjustments. England won't repeat the success of '66, but expect them to get in one more game.
Coach Raymond Domench hailed his 'little old team' after the unexpected dismissal of Spain. And rightly so. The old dog has some teeth left after all. For Zinedine Zidane and many of his teammates, this is a World Cup swansong so don't expect them to go down passively. The legs may not be as spry as they once were but the mind remains sharp and cunning. They'll be looking to capitalize by countering Brazil's all-out, all-attack approach, so it'll be up to Emerson and Ze Roberto to mind the store.

I could not believe the amount of people who've come up to me and said, 'Hey, Michelle, how are you?' " [Michelle Lissel] said when reached yesterday at her hotel room in Berlin, the city where tomorrow's World Cup final between Italy and France will be played.
"It's an unknown oasis of soccer in Winnipeg," said the show's producer, Luke Crofford. "We live in a football and hockey town, so we enjoy a little bit of anonymity here. But if we go outside this market, there's a better chance of being recognized. It's kind of freaky, actually.
"I'm a cheap icon," retorts [Bobby McMahon], who began appearing on the show in 2001 after being told by the show's original architect, Global sports director Joe Pascucci, "I think we're going to need some filler."
