Some World Cup Myths Dispelled

David Beckham contributes nothing, he's not even any good at dead-ball striking now.

It's referees from nations who aren't much good at football being "given a go" at the World Cup who ruin matches (thanks to a Mr Poll for that particular bit of chop busting),

Ronaldo is overweight, past it, and couldn't score in a seedy metaphor.

Mexico are rubbish and make a mockery of the FIFA world rankings.

Portugal versus Holland; that should be a game for the purists.

Germany have their worst team ever; only Ballack's any good, they'll be lucky to make the second round.

Say what you like about the USA, I think they might just ruffle a few feathers on their way to the semis.

Argentina will destroy everone.

If only England played like the Czech Republic...
