which team is predicted to win the world cup this year?

The Europeans tend to do well when its hosted in Europe. The last 5 world cups hosted in Europe have been won by a European team. Talent wise, there are a lot of very talented teams. I would look for England and Holland to make a good run at it. The French don't seem very interested. The Italians may not have that one player that they need to score goals (in the mold of a Baggio or Rossi), but as usual they will have a tight defense. The Spaniards need leadership (which they do not have) to get through the tough mental pressures. Germany get results simply because they always get results when it counts. Ofcourse we cannot discount Brazil and Argentina as they have a metric ton of players who play regularly in Europe. Brazil unquestionably has more talent than all the teams. Always remember that the most talent doesn't win, the best team (who has a little luck) wins.

sigh well i believe that germany, brazil, england, france, italy, and korea all have a chance. Brazil has world class players and is probably the team i expect to win. However, Germany has home field advantage so they have an edge. France and Italy always finish very well (well except for france the last world cup...). England has a new and dangerous style of playing with the tall peter crouch and wawyne Rooney. Korea has got a sercret weapon, J.s. Park, which might break out and be amazing and win.

I believe that Brazil will win and beat Germany like the 2002 final.  Some say argentina has a good chance of winning.  \nMy answer: Brazil

i think it will be Brazil!they are really a good team and all the players are good!you know, a class team must have at least 4 good players, but this team has 12 good players!

Brazil definitely.\nIf the kinds of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Kaka, Adriano, Dida, Cicinho, Juan, Emerson, Ze Roberto, Roberto Carlos, Robinho, Lucio are fit, I doubt no team can stop them.\nJust imagine Ronaldinho or Kaka giving killer passes to Ronaldo or Adriano. :-)\nBut never underestimate England and France. I think it is going to be the greatest world cup in history so far.

In my opinion, Brazil will take the title of the World Cup for the sixth time. The next five strong teams to win the cup as dark horses could be Argentina, Germany, Portugal, Spain or even Italy for that matter. But, as of now its best to hold your breath and just watch the action because you never know the end.

I think it'll come down to Brazil and Argentina.  Brazil will probably take it all.  I'd like to see England win and I don't think Germany's homefield advantage will help them out, but if they can beat Argentina then they stand a good chance of making the finals.  Germany's best chance at winning would be if Portugal or France can pull off an upset.

Chances are that most likely it shall be Brazil.  They have the best team in the world, including arguably the best player Brazil has had since Pele in Ronaldinho.  A solid performance should give Brazil the trophy.

No doubt brazil will be the hottest favourtie but don't forget about germany the host! They're strong once in the finals. Remember last world cup? They're mediocre in the qualifying rounds but fought to the final but lost 2-0 to brazil. Italy ain't bad also and watch out for argentina with lionel messi as their new engineer. These are the 4 potential winners, i believe.

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.\n\nAny of the above countries could win the world cup 2006.

Germany? We are talking about this world cup, right?  I would say Brazil, Argentina, or the Netherlands.   The Czechs are a good candidate also.    Germany......ha
