World Cup Daily: South Africa 2010 preview

The pride, the passion, the terrible betting advice – it can only be James Richardson and the super soaraway Football Weekly team with the only World Cup 2010 preview that matters.

In the first of our World Cup Daily podcasts, Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay, and Jonathan Wilson join Jimbo in the pod to give their two penneth on the action in South Africa. Can England win it? Is this Brazil's tournament to lose? Will an African team make an impact on the greatest stage of all? And can you ever write off the Germans?

On the phone, we get the lowdown from Sid Lowe in Madrid about Spain's chances of following up their Euro 2008 win, while Daan de Wilde from the Guardian Fans' Network gives us the latest on Holland's chances.

We'll be back every night throughout the tournament – so see you back here on 11 June for the big kick-off.

In the meantime, keep up to date with us on Twitter, get your paws on your very own I Belong to Jimbo T-shirt, and and let us know on the blog below your picks for:
* the champions
* the top scorer
* the biggest flop
* the star player
* the surprise package
