Who has the best chances of winning the World Cup this year and Why?

Brazil has the strongest chance of winning primarily because Ronaldinho and Kaka are in the form of their lives right now. Germany's Michael Ballack cannot carry the team on his shoulders, and with the defense they got, I seriously doubt they will make it past the quarter finals. Some may say that England has a chance, but until they show me that they won't choke under pressure (as they did at Euro 04, World Cup 02, etc) I won't give them much credit.

It might be Ronaldinho because he is in top form at the moment and I think he will play well and probably even help his country (Brazil) win the World Cup again this year.

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.

I dont. Brazil is returning with a good mix of young players and veterans and there are many threats such as England, France. portugal and the czechs. Some people believe that this years Brazil team is the best one ever although they do not win in Europe. I dont see Germany winning this years world cup.

Of course England are going to win the World cup this year.We are by far the best team in it and our defence is certainly not weak.

The world cup is most likely to go to Brazil or Germany. I think it could well be Germany because the always seem to perform at the world cup despite peoples missgivings and they are on home soil, with FIFA always giving the host nation an easy route through the competition, they may be able to avenge last time.

There are 3-4 teams which have chances to iwn the World Cup.\n\nThe 1st one : Brazil, the last WC winners who are still great i i would be very surprised if they wont be at least 2nd. With new stars like Robinho, Adraino and Juninho they can be even better as they were 4 years(the Confederations Cup showed that clearly)\nThe 2nd one: Germany - as the host of the WC they will have an advantage of hundreds thousands fans. \n3rd one: Argentina - after being knockout after 1st round in Korea nad Jupan, they ambitions are at the top and they will do their best to win the WC\n4th one: France - also being eliminated very soon, with new/old players like Zidane, Thuram, Gallas, Pedretti and Coupet their chances are quite big for a high place.\n\nTeams that can made a surprise are USA, Ivory Coast and Ukraine.

except brazil, current top contenders are 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

I don't think you can pick any one team to win the 2006 World Cup. There are some many strong teams with each team having some tremendous talent. There could be a dark horse team in all of this, but the top picks (Brazil, Italy, Germany, Argentina, Portugal, Spain & France) all have a legitimate chance at winning. I will go with my guy and say Brazil. But think of this no South American country has ever won a world cup in Europe

Germany, Brasil deffinately\n\nthey're doing good this year\nRonaldinho may be unstoppable for Germany though. Plus Brasil gets better as they go on in the competition. So near the end they will be invincible.
