In which prominent musicians fondle their crystal balls and deliver their World Cup predicitions.

Who Apart From France Would You Like To Win The World Cup?
I would really like it not to be England.
Who will be the competition’s key player?
Zidane, of course.
First And/or Most Abiding World Cup Memory?
I remember when France and Germany were in the semi-finals – was it ‘82 or ‘86? The German goalkeeper kicked a French player and it revived all the anger of World War 2.
