Soundoff: What Are Your World Cup Expectations?

Posted: 10 Dec 2009 10:10 AM PST

expectationsThere are 32 teams going to South Africa for World Cup 2010. Only one of them can win it. That’s just the way it works. But just because your team does’t win the whole thing, that doesn’t mean you haven’t had a successful tournament. Not everyone’s expectations are the same.

So, what are your minimum expectation for your team at World Cup 2010? And what would you consider a success?

For example, I’m an England fan, and I’d say making the quarter-finals would be my minimum expectation given the recent resurgence under Fabio Capello. I’d be absolutely delighted to see us go one better than 2002 and 2006 and make the semis. Winning the World Cup would be ideal, obviously, but I’d consider making the final four a very very successful tournament at this point. I’m also something of a USA fan (through residence) and would consider getting out of Group C to be the bare minimum and making the quarter-finals an excellent summer’s work.

So, three questions:

1. Who’s your team at World Cup 2010?
2. What’s your minimum expectation for their performance South Africa?
3. What would you consider a success?
