Can they win?  Yes, they can.  (31 other teams can also say that, though in reality maybe 8 have any reasonable chance).\n\nDo they have what it takes?  you need to look at them back to front.  They have an adequate keeper in van der Saar.  They have some good young defenders, and as I recall at least one or two good veterans.  their midfield should be very good, with Davids, seerdorf, Van der Vaart, Robben, and the like.  And up front, they have at least 3 world class strikers (Ruud for one, and I temporarily forget the other guy).\n\nAnd the coach has been there, and can relate to players - something that can never be underestimated.\n\nNow their group has Serbia, Argentina and Ivory Coast.  Should they make it out of the group - yes.\n\nBrazil is in the opposite set of groups for at least until the semi-finals, so they won't run into them until then.\n\nWith the exception of Germany, they should have among the highest percentages of 'home fans', so the crowd should be behind them.\n\nCut loose any surprises, and you are left with Holland, Portugal, Spain, Czech Rep., Italy, England, Germany and Brazil as the 'favorites'.  Others who could sneak into there would be the US, Argentina or the Ukraine.\n\nBeing that the matches are in Europe, the South American teams likely will not get the bounce they enjoy nearly anywhere else (in all the 'cups', only Brazil has ever won in Europe).\n\nFigure Spain and Portugal to have some kind of minor collapse (sorry, but it just happens too often not the expect it to magically not happen again), and the numbers whittle down.\n\nEngland have a strong group, but will their stars perform and play together?  With Sven on the way out, I'm thinking they may go a ways, but not to the last.\n\nSo really, I think Brazil, Germany, Italy and Holland will be in the mix for the big prize.  Brazil will have to deal with the foreign soil aspect, and that could go either way (look at France 98).  Home court is a huge advantave, and I expect Germany will make the semi's at least.  Italy will always be tough, but, if they can't score, they can't win.\n\nAnd Holland, traditionally, can score.\n\nWould I pick them in a pool to win it all.  Probably not.  But, can they do it, yes.  I would say they have a decent chance at it, perhaps not as strong a favorite as Germany or Brazil, but definitely they will be in the mix.  It will all depend on their ability to deal with physical teams as they play their fluid passing games.\n\nA couple good bounces, and they could be in the final.  And if its oppsite germany, that could be a very interesting game.  Though, I'd rather see Holland play Brazil, as the flair and passing would cause my TV to melt!\n\n(go yanks!!)

I think Argentina will eventually win this game but it will not be easy. We all throw our predictions around but as yet the "super sides" have yet to play each other and the only guide we have to their performance is the games already played. Some have played equally good sides, some have not. Germany does have the home turf advantage but that's only a small part of the psychology of the game. They have not had great wins yet but none the less they have been determined enough to continue to get the result. Argentina have been very good. They have their attack down well and their defence has withheld. This will be a really good game, I just think in the end the flair and natural ability of the Argentinians will give them the best result.

Well my prediction still hasn't changed but I am disappointed with how they played. I picked Brazil and its hard to stick with them as I have watched them and haven't been impressed. But I still say they will pick up the pace and win the World Cup.

i'd like to see germany win.  they've really out done themselves in this cup.  people were not expecting them to even get this far.\n\nargentina has a really strong team.  germany is going to really  have to hustle.

Please? Why are all of you asking if the US can win the World Cup??? \n\nAsk if they will make it past the group stage.. That's more realistic. And the answer to both is no.

I think and believe Brazil will win. Because France is nowhere near Brazil in strength. If Brazil can play their normal game they'll win by atleast 2 goals margin.
