pre-world cup performance does not guarantee a world cup win. we can take the example of 2002 Japan Korea world cup, where Brazil struggled to qualify to become one of 32 nations to play the tournament, and then won the world cup for fifth time ! France and Argentina were the top favorites to win the cup, but they were eliminated in the first round. and what South Korea did? they played in the semi-final!\n\nwell, temperament will be the name of the game as soon as the world cup begins. tradition will come second. for such reasons, only 5 countries lifted the world cup for 15 times out of 17 tournaments followed by 2 countries won one time each.\n\nin my opinion, top contenders of this Germany 2006 are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournamentand hence, should be watch out carefully. If Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.\n\nAny four of the above top contenders would play in the final of the world cup 2006.

For those who don't understand, Rooney is Wayne Rooney, a footballer playing for England in the world cup.\n\nI hope he does make a difference, they need some kind of inspiration, I can't believe how badly we're doing!

England's chances of winning the World Cup are hanging in the balance after Wayne Rooney yesterday become the latest big-name footballer to suffer a foot injury.\n\nThe 20-year-old striker - England's most influential player - was carried off the pitch on a stretcher when he fell badly on his right foot after 82 minutes of Manchester United's 3-0 defeat at Chelsea. Rooney was later seen getting on to United's team bus before they headed back to Manchester, where he was due to have a scan on his right foot and ankle.\n\nThe seriousness of his injury was unclear, but it sparked immediate fears that it will prevent him playing in some or all of England's games at this summer's World Cup in Germany, which starts on 9 June. David Beckham and his teammates play Paraguay in their opening game in Group B in Frankfurt in 40 days' time. The England manager, Sven Goran Eriksson, Football Association officials and millions of fans across the country are hoping that the prodigiously talented forward - who is the hub of the England team - has not suffered a broken metatarsal in his right foot, the same injury which forced him out of England's last major tournament, the 2004 European Championships in Portugal.\n\nRooney's involvement in the game yesterday ended when he fell awkwardly after a tackle by Chelsea's Portuguese defender, Paulo Ferreira. He lay on the ground, in obvious pain, for several minutes before being put on to a stretcher and carried away, to loud applause from both sets of fans.\n\nIronically, it was another Portuguese defender, Jorge Andrade, who caused Rooney's first foot injury when he trod on him in the Portugal-England quarter-final in Lisbon, which England later lost on penalties.\n\nSir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, declined to speculate on how serious the injury was. 'We don't know. We'll have to wait until we get to Manchester,' he said. 'He's being looked after and we'll see. When a player is taken off we're always concerned, but hopefully Wayne's is not a bad one. It's a sore one, but we'll just have to wait and see. There's no point in making assertions at the moment.'\n\nIf Rooney cannot play in Germany, his absence will seriously diminish England's chances of capturing the World Cup for the first time in 40 years. Bookmakers have made them second favourites behind holders Brazil, but without the talismanic Rooney they would lack much of their creativity, attacking prowess and capacity to surprise opponents.\n\nIf the worst is confirmed, it will be a heavy blow for Eriksson, who is already concerned about the fitness of England's other main striker, Newcastle United's Michael Owen. He broke a metatarsal during a match against Spurs last December and has not played since.\n\nThe Swede also has injury concerns about Arsenal defender Sol Campbell, Spurs utility player Ledley King, Arsenal left-back Ashley Cole and Rooney's United and England colleague Gary Neville, who also picked up an injury yesterday. So, too, did Chelsea captain John Terry - England's first choice centre-half - but neither his nor Neville's injuries are thought to endanger their chances of appearing in the World Cup.\n\nA lengthening list of high-profile English players have suffered a broken metatarsal in recent years. Beckham, the England captain, did so in April 2002 while playing for United and appeared for England in the World Cup in Japan and South Korea three months later, despite being not fully fit. Foot injuries are increasingly common in top-level football, and are particularly troublesome because they mean that someone who has one cannot put his weight comfortably on the foot concerned.\n\nEriksson has to submit a provisional list of 23 players for the World Cup to Fifa, football's world governing body, by 8 May, with a final list a week later. Rooney's predicament may cause him problems similar to t
