Sir Alex Picks Brazil For World Cup 2010 Posted: 21 Nov 2009 06:46 PM PST Didn’t Sir Alex just finish lecturing the FA on their media overexposure of Wayne Rooney? Apparently, shedding a little bit of limelight his way isn’t much of an issue at all. The Scot didn’t mince words when picking his favorite to win the 2010 World Cup. “I can’t see past Brazil, actually,” Ferguson was quoted in the Daily Mail. “They are going to be the ones in South Africa.” And the opinions are well founded in his belief that the Premiership is becoming less and less about developing English players, and more about contracting outsiders to become champions. Add on to that the continual pipeline of great Brazilian players being exported into foreign systems, and even this Argie would have a hard time denying his logic. “Last season, there were 103 Brazilians in the Champions League and only 15 Englishmen. More Scots played in the Champions League last season than English players. I thought the 11/10 on Brazil to beat England was the bet of the century.” Ouch. But Fergie has never been one to mince words. What are your thoughts on Sir Alex’s early prediction?
