Best game-Argentina vs. Mexico
Best goal-I'm biased, but Harry Kewell's vs. Croatia. Most relieving goal, anyway.

Best Player-Zidane, if only for the heatbutt
Best team to watch-Argentina
Most underrated-The whole Australian team before the tournament, Barthez after it
Best team-Argentina or Germany
Further-Australia, Argentina...everyone but Italy and Serbia, more or less Wink
Best Young-Messi
Worst to watch-Italia
Win 2010-Brazil or Argentina

1. Best game? - Argentina vs Cote d'Ivoire maybe? Germany vs Italy is another candidate.
2. Best goal? - Uh... I've no idea. Neuville's felt the most rewarding, that's for sure.
3. Best player? - Zidane.
4. Best team to watch? Argentina
5. Most underrated player of the tournament? Depends what you mean by "underrated". Zambrotta actually made the 10-player FIFA nominations list for best player of the tournament, and deservedly so. He was also always expected to make the Italian starting 11.
I'll go with Fabio Grosso.
6. Who was the best team in the world cup? Italy. Or Argentina. Impossible to say.
7. Who deserved to go further than they actually did? Argentina, Spain, Ivory Coast ... take your pick. South Korea even.
8. Who was the best young player? Philipp Lahm, or is 22 years to old for "young player"?
9. Worst team to watch? Hard to say... so many of the bad-to-watch teams didn't play each other... Of those to advance to the second round, Switzerland.
10. Who will win the world cup in 2010? I hope an African nation does, not going to happen though

2. Best goal? - Cristiano Ronaldo's only goal
