We only have a couple of months left before the biggest tournament of the year gets going.

That’s right, the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament in the world, will run between June 11 to July 11 in South Africa. It will be the culmination of a qualification process that began in August of 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national teams.

As expected, there are some intriguing matchups to see in the 19^th FIFA World Cup and one fixture that football fans shouldn’t miss is this one between Italy and Paraguay. Italy and Spain are the top two teams in continental Europe. Italy faces Paraguay, Slovakia, and New Zealand. If they lose one of those games it will cause a national crisis, and quite possibly yet another governmental collapse. Luckily, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue for them.

Playing Paraguay is arguably one of the biggest challenges to Italy, it’s also one of the most exciting fixtures in the tournament. Both teams focus on defense first, and neither scores a lot of goals. But Paraguay isn’t as strong as they seem in my eyes.

Another matchup to watch out for is Portugal vs. Brazil. Fans are so looking forward for this matchup that tickets for the match were already sold out four and a half months before it takes place.

The game between Portugal and Brazil has proven to be one of the most in-demand matches of the whole tournament. The matchup between the cross-Atlantic rivals is generating so much interest for a variety of reasons. The two countries have strong historical and cultural ties, as well as sharing a common language.

Portugal beat Brazil in their only World Cup meeting so far…

The rest of the world will be watching South Africa soon.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching and eyes will be set on South Africa with matches held in nine cities across the land. The world’s greatest footballers will be on display too as football fans around the world are eagerly anticipating a month of football bliss.

On that note, here’s an early rundown of the top five countries to watch out for in this year’s World Cup, starting with the country that won the last biggest tournament in football, the Euro 2008 champions Spain.

Though Spain has never won the World Cup, this may be their best chance ever. Their forwards score goals and their midfield is among the best in the world. At goalkeeping, Iker Casillas is equally very impressive, helping them to engineer a 15 game winning streak to set an international record earlier in 2009.

Although the United States‘ victory over Spain late in the year was one of the biggest upsets in a long time, Spain remains the team to beat. They are in Group H along with Switzerland, Honduras and Chile.

Another team to watch out for is Argentina primarily because they have on their roster the best footballer in the world right now in Lionel Messi. Argentina also has the best defensive midfielder in the world, Javier Mascherano along with a number of very talented youngsters, including Sergio Aguero.

Their manager knows what it takes to win. While they did suffer…
