Maybe that is why a duller American sport like soccer has more fans. Nothing \,absolutely nothing can beat a last ball finish ODI. And i am from trinidad, in reply to the qn as to why no indians on the team, very simple, they are playing cricket.</p> Cricket requires more thinking, plot, strategy.

Women may go for footballers more because footballers can give their spouse lots of money, compared to poorer cricketers. Anyway, cricket is far better than football and will be like Allen Stanford said...more popular than football in about thirty years.</p> Cricketers get their fair share of hotties as well…Michael Clark, James Anderson, and KP are a few examples.

I was watching that with some of my girl friends (not girlfriends) and all they could talk about was how hot the Italians were. And they were playing the Ghanians, who umm, aren't exactly the model-type. I felt so bad for them that I started supporting them. But they still lost, unfortunately.</p> Did anyone watch the Italy-Ghana match?

We could also talk about where the Indian guys are on the Trinidad and Tobago team — a country with a 40% + Indian population.

And there’s still this ongoing nagging question about why no South Asian team has ever made it to the tournament…

Don’t worry, we’ll be doing more World Cup posts. Lots of them ;-)

no darlings of the Cup so far, but its early. everything will get more clear after the second games. If England do well, they may be on their way. If T&T pull off a shocker, they might be the Senegal of the Cup. South Korea may be a looming powerhouse in Asia. I think the real group of Death is Group F with Australia, Japan, Brazil and Croatia.
