it seems like rajeev pillai turned out to be right in his predictions regarding the world cup we had published rajeevs predictions around the time the matches started on june 15 rajeev had said messi is the one to look out for this world cup as he is 26 years of age the same age that ronaldo was when brazil won the world cup in 2002 and the same age maradona was when argentina won the world cup in 1986 he had also said that the other team to watch out for is germany germany should make it to the quarters and if they win the quarter final match they will meet brazil in the semis and the winner of this match will win the world cup germany did meet brazil in the semis and won too so does he feel that germany will win the world cup this year yes the advantage they have is that seven of the players have been playing in the same team under the same coach and they dont need to spend that extra second to look at their team mates to know their position it will be a sure win for germany unless something like a reprisal of the france vs germany match in 2006 occurs zinedine zidane single handedly won the match for france that time if messi gets to weave his magic ie he gets possession of the ball for more than the one minute that he usually gets germany wouldnt be able to stop him and argentina might be the winner well lets wait and watch
