Ivory Coast or Portugal seem to be the possible suprise teams of the World Cup.

I will go with the easiest prediction Brazil/Germany.  But I am hoping for Germany/England.

I'm going with a real shocker; Germany.  They will be the first host country in over two decades to not make the second round.  Either them or a struggling British team if Owens is still slowed by injuries.

Brazil to win the World Cup.\n\nContenders to their throne would be England, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Holland and look to the Czech Republic to do well.\n\nBest players will include Ronaldinho(Bra), Beckham(Eng), Henry(Fra) and Nedved(Cze).

I predict Germany or Argentina. I would love for England to win, but i just can't see them doing it.Brazil will flop, they can't hack it in Europe.

I think that the biggest surprise will be the Edmonton Oilers. They have the talent and the speed to upset any team, They have an excellent blue collar work ethic and with the recent addition of Dwayne Roloson, they have the right ingredients to go a long way in the playoffs.

Germany, as the host nation, can be expected to perform strongly – although they must avoid becoming over-reliant on Michael Ballack. Poland have the potential to surprise a few people, but will need to make sure confidence doesn’t become a problem. The other two sides in the group, Ecuador and Costa Rica, are inexperienced in World Cup terms, but may spring a shock or two if their pace catches the Germans off guard.

I'll have to say Portugal. Iran was a good surprise in the game with Mexico, though they lost, so I won't be expecting us (yes, I'm Portuguese, I'm biased, I know) to win easily. Who knows, maybe Iran will win the match, but I wouldn't place a bet on that.

The most likely candidates are Brazil and Germany. Brazil and the host nation have both won five world cups. In this case, the host nation Germany has won the World Cup three times.\n\nThese teams played in the finals last time. \n\nThey both are in good form as the favourites for the World Cup are:\n\n1. Brazil\n2. Argentina\n3. Germany\n4. England\n5. Italy\n\nIt is likely that the winner will come from these five teams.

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.

The obvious answer is of course Brazil, and Germany. Brazil because of the awesome line up that they posses, and Germany for being host yet the beauty of soccer is that anything can happen, Togo can shock the world Mexico might make it and drop some jaws, the USA can also play and wake up the soccer community with lifting the cup, we can study and look at all the stats that the "experts" give us but at the end all that matters is the amount of heart and love to your shirt that will lift the cup. SO in my opinion I will go with my heart, Brazil or England will lift the cup!!!
