The Fifa website has the schedule, but it's tedious to try to find.  I've got the link saved, so put it below so it's easier for you.  Enjoy the matches... Who's the team you back? :)

It's an English side and suprise, suprise....It's Chelsea!

The definitive favorite for the World Cup is Brazil with the world's best offense featuring a wealth of forward talent--Ronaldo, Adriano, and Robinho--along with a spread of midfielders--including the world's current football king Ronaldinho--equal to England's. It doesn't hurt to have a fantastic keeper in Dida and defenders like Roberto Carlos and Lucio to fall back on if and when the goals dry up. Look for Team "Brasil" to win a second straight World Cup and a record sixth in their rich football history.

Brazil. They are the no. 1 ranked team in the world at the moment.  Ghana on the other hand play an exciting brand of football but I just can't see them winning.
