I think that Maccabi are on course for a third straight title though they didn't look all that convincing in their narrow quarterfinal win. I think their toughest challenge in the semi-finals onwards will be from Barcelona who continued the trend set in football by downing their arch rivals Real Madrid.

I do!\nItaly is one of the strongest teams, we could win this year too.\n\nMoreover, I'm from the same city [Messina, Sicily] of one of the players, Vermiglio.

as far as predictions go, most ppl are bordering on those teams that harbour the superstars of football. but teams like france, although full of talent, fail to operate as a team! so im going for teams like croatia, tunisia and spain to spring a surprise!

Russia is one of my favorite , its obvious that they will be competing for the gold medal at least . I would put Finland on 2 nd place and Belarus on 3rd . Belarus is very strong and potential . So called "dark horse" . You never know what to expect from them , despite recent loss to Sweden . Its because Belarus ruled by dictator like in Soviet Union times . Lukashenko said " You have to get a medal "

That is not true. A lot of people care, more than you  think. Just check the bars around June and see how many people are following their countries. It is truly a world champion, unlike the MBL NBA and the NFL whose teams are all from the USA. How can you really be a world champion if you did not play against any other countries? Germany has a good chance just because the fact that they are the "home team" and that is always good. Brazil is always the favorite. Argentina is always in the mix as Italy, England and France.

I believe England, Italy and Germany players are in TOP form. The incredible Blazilian team are full of great players but none of them are doing that great in the Champions league and in their leagues (except Ronaldihno and Kaka)

It's gonna be a good match to watch so get your popcorn and bottles of beer ready. I as always want Portugal to win!! But a Holland are a very strong side, great goalkeeper Manchester united's own, van der sar and van nistelrooy. plus other brilliant talents like van persie. But my heart is settled with the portuguese squad. I know they will win and if they don't they'll make it a tough one for holland and go out with a bang!!

I lived in Spain in the early 90s.  I saw Stoichkov, Romario and Koeman play at the Nou Camp.  It was incredible.  I have been a fan of theirs ever since.\nVISCA BARCA!!!

Alot of people outside the USA doesn't see what is going on inside the country for the game's development.  I am English living in New Jersey as a product of my job, and scream Three Lions as loud as any other.  However I have a different  respect for North American soccer now, as the governing bodies are really starting to Bolster it's developmnent.  As for winning in 2006, anything is possible, but i genuinely believe the title is going to one of the European teams this year, though depending on the luck of the draw, I think Team USA has a valid chance of advancing to the quaters.

Well, they ARE newer to the game of soccer, but they've got a lot of potential.  I can't give them a rating, as of yet...because most of my extra time spent watching is watching MY team, Manchester United..but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and hope they'll get to the semi-final arena at the very least.  They've got some decent players, Freddie is one, and I truly hope, that the two left playing in the final matches are England and USA.  And if THAT happens...I'll be rooting for both!\n\nPS...yes, I know, got my hopes set really HIGH...ah well, one can only hope, pray and dream! :)
