Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament. However, if Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.\n\nAny of the above countries could win the world cup 2006.

Picking a single team that would surely win the cup is very hard. But these ARE my picks that have a bigger chance of winning as this sport really sometimes create freak results.\nThe picks:\n1. Brazil: Possesses the most threatening attack, hands-down. Defense is highly improved.\n2. England: A well balanced team with every position filled with talents.\n3. France: Zinedine Zidane returning at the heart of midfield as with Claude Makelele rejuvenated this squad. Great attacking threat of Henry is crucial.\n4. Argentina: A team loaded with creative midfielders and attackers with a defensive line-up to be vey proud of.\n5. Germany: A team with a successful World Cup history. Although the team is not that threatening in terms of the line-ups with Ballack as the only one having a "superstar" status, their pride playing on their home soil could really step-up their performance.\n6. Italy: Defensively strong starting from the midfield and their cattenaccio style still works for them. They also have lots of great talents.\n\nSpecial Mention:\nPortugal and Netherlands: they have great potentials and could come out as dark horses

Brazil, they will defend there title for a few reasons. First, in the goal they have a great golie Dida, who will be hard to beat. Next, moving up the field they have a great defense, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, and Roque Junior are all phenomenal and it will be hard for any attack to break them down. Next, in the midfield Brazil has players like Ronaldinho and Kaka who are great on and off the ball and can break any defense down. Lastly, the forwards are simply amazing. Ronaldo is one of the worlds greatest players ever and can change a game instantly. Also, they have the young talents in Adriano and Robinho who are also great players. This attack combined with the great midfield play are sure to produce many goals. Thats why Brazil will win the world cup this year.

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.

I would also say Brazil, but England looks pretty good also. Just as long as Germany doesn't win, they have so bombed this year, but we will see. Anything can happen. I do know that this year will be very exciting and I will be routing for US and Italy.

i think it would be HOLLAND or ENGLAND to win the world cup this time around.They have waited this long and i do think they have a great team of both experienced players and a mix of young and full of energy players to snatch this cup from the early favorites such as BRAZIL,GERMANY,ITALY,ARGENTINA,FRANCE.

The team that wins the final game will win 2006 World Cup in Germany this summer. Yes, it could be Brasil or Nehterlad.

I think holland because they have talent and are young, so unpredictable. I think after today's England game, they would have a  long way to go before winning.\nAs for Brazil, I won money (just a couple of quid from my mate) on betting on them last world cup, against anyone else winning, from the start. This time, I wanna watch their matches, but if they won would be too predictable. Besides, they are likely to concede too many.
