Dida if he does start might be a concern

Demand, fueled by lower prices, was strong given the tough comparisons to last year's data in the face of economic weakness.""In short, the data was pretty bearish across the board, especially with the much watched Cushing supplies swelling by 4.1 million barrels to reach 32.2 million now in the tank. Couple this with this mornings ADP jobs data, Intel pre-announcement, and weakness in the global equity indices, and the energy complex should remain under pressure over the near-term."TOM KNIGHT, TRADER, TRUMAN ARNOLD, TEXARKANA, TEXAS:"This is a very bearish report. Crude stocks are up due to higher imports as shipments which were just sitting in the water in the previous week to limit refiners' year-end taxes were finally offloaded and in storage. The increase in crude supplies at the NYMEX delivery point in Cushing, Oklahoma, has it tippy-toppy full.

This is probably the toughest group in the tournament along with group D. Ivory Coast are again in the 'Group of Death', and will fight it out against Portugal for second spot behind Brazil. North Korea make up the numbers in this group, but my worry is if Cristiano Ronaldo is not on form, Portugal might be shown the door at the very first hurdle. There is a chance they will be outclassed by the Brazilians and outmuscled by the Ivorians, and their match against North Korea will bring back memories of 1966, when the North Koreans led 3-0 before losing 5-3 to an Eusebio inspired fightback from the Portuguese..

Portugal qualified veyr late for the World Cup, and had it not been for Sweden's lapse late in the qualifiers, they might not have made it at all.In the end, they scraped past Bosnia-Herzegovina to make it to the Rainbow Nation.Their main man is Cristiano Ronaldo, but Simao, the erratic and enigmatic Ricardo Quaresma, and some up and coming youngsters will provide the support.Deco will pull the strings with Tiago, while Nani will look to get some consistency going up the flank opposite Ronaldo. Miguel Veloso and one-time Man United target Joao Moutinho will provide defensive midfield support,giving Deco and Simao the license to go forward to support the strikers and wingers. Brazil topped their qualifying group without being overly stretched or anywhere near their best, but their team reads like a whos who in attack. Kaka, Ronaldinho, and Robinho can score goals by the bushel, and Lucio and Juan provide a strong backline.Dida, if he does start, might be a concern. He is brilliant at times, however his constant fumbling and ability to commit blunders could haunt his team.Then again, if their opponents score one, Brazil have the ability to put five past them. But with Julio Cesar in the form of his life, that is unlikely to happen.

They have Maicon and Luisao to burst down the flanks, Kaka to control prceedings from midfield, and Luis Fabiano, Pato, Nilmar and Adriano if selected to bang in the goals.With service from Robinho and Diego, expect Brazil to score goals, lots and lots of them.While this Brazil team is undoubtedly Kaka's, four years ago he was the junior member of a foursome known as "the Magic Quartet." The play of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Adriano could be a potential fly in the ointment for Brazil, as all three have experienced a large fall from grace since the last World Cup. But the trio all have fierce advocates in the Brazilian media and if they hit a rich vein of form this season, Dunga will have a tough call to make: Does he risk disrupting team chemistry by taking any or all of them to South Africa Ronaldo is the World Cup's all-time leading goal scorer but has been dogged by injury for years and at 33 is unlikely to make a national team comeback. Adriano's personal problems were a large factor in his departure from Inter Milan and subsequent return to Brazil. He has been in and out of the Brazil team under Dunga, playing in six games in the qualifying campaign. Since 2006, Ronaldinho has experienced a dramatic professional decline. The marquee name at the last World Cup, Ronaldinho has spent a lot of time riding the bench (at Barcelona and AC Milan) since his spectacular flop in Germany.
