consdering the calibre of players they have and the home base support, they have a great chance of winning the cup but compairing the lines of the other countries like Brazil, England and Italy, it will very difficult for them to winning the world cup therefore Germany cannot win the cup.

Germany have a legendary status of being late sluggish starters but peaking at the right time in World Cups.They have reached 7 world cup finals and won 3 of them.They have been the dominant european force alongwith Italy for decades proving their consistency.They did well to stage a fightback yesterday and could have even won it in the end.It is too early to make predictions but Germany at home will always be a handful.

Germany dude, lets look at this way- \nYes Brazil is a great team. Yes, last we checked Argentina did scored 6 goals and Yes, sumhow Spain have buck up and playing better than what is expected and so on and so forth.\n\nNow things to support my reason that Germany's gona this one home this year is coz:\n1] Lets not forget that they are a great team and that they have won the WC a couple of times b4, though they're not as stylish as Brazil or as talented as Argentina, they are good at what they do. And at this moment im writing now, Germany have proven themselves a force to be wreckened with.\n2] Back in 2002, Brazil dissapoint them big time when they took away the Cup of Life. They wanted that Cup to make the fact that hosting this year all the more sweeter so this time around, not only do they need to win the Cup to prove themselves but its also a matter or personal vendetta.\n3] They're playing at home, no matter how determined the other teams are, multiply that by a 100 or so and thats Germany current determination level. Now its not about winning, its about pride. National pride\n4] They have Miraslav Klose, yes a blink in the radar when compared to the likes of the giants- Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, etc but lets not forget ppl that he did scored the most goals so far and ranked top five for goal-scorers the last WC. as in the game of Football, skills only take u that far but the goals will determined it in the end and Klose have got what it takes.

I think Germany should progress, as I think their home advantage is very strong. Sweden will give them a hard time for it though, mark my words.

Even though they are hosting it, I don't think they have a good chance of winning.  The German team is in a rebuilding peoriod, they have no identity yet.

They definitely can.  But that is only because in 76 years Germany will once again host the World Cup and by then Korea will be a powerhouse team. But, of course, if you can't foresee the future like I can and are merely talking about this summer's games, then ..........no.

yes i think so...With the world cup just few days away, the people are all getting ready to have a time of their lives. The Fifa World Cup 2006 promises to be the biggest and the best ever with enhanced technologies in refereeing, player’s protection and many more. Enhanced styles of defending, attacking and enhanced team strategies have all made this competition bigger and better.\nAll 32 teams competing in the tournament will come to Germany with just one motto….Winning the World Cup and holding aloft the famous Jules Rimet trophy and bringing their country enormous pride and fame.\n\nWayne Rooney’s possible withdrawal from the England national team due to injury has affected the morale of the English team in a negative way. Moreover, it has cast a dark shadow over the tournament. He was supposed to be the player to look out for, but no more. But, this won’t stop the fans from watching the tournament, or at least England’s matches. Each one of the seats is expected to be filled on every match occasion. After all, Rooney is not the only player in the English national team. Other famous names like Micheal Owen, David Beckham and Steven Gerrard are sure to entertain and they will also be enough to win the trophy. The favourites should not go to the tournament with over-confidence and the underdogs can always take inspiration from North Korea ( 1966 ), Senegal ( 1999 ) and South Korea (2002 ). They should go into the tournament mentally strong as they have nothing to lose. For Robinho (Brazil), Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero (Argentina), Torres, Fabregas and Sergio Ramos (Spain) and numerous other young players from different countries, it will be a test on the big stage, a test of courage, skill and stamina.\nFor the more experienced ones like Christian Veiri (Italy), Raul (Spain), and others, it will be the last opportunity to win a Major trophy.\nBrazil look the clear favorites, with Germany and England also standing a huge chance. But in the big stage, no team is big and no team is small. We can take example from different occasions, North Korea beating overwhelming favorites Italy in the 199 world cup, Senegal beating host nation France in the first match of the 1998 world cup and co-host South Korea overcoming hurdles like Italy, Portugal and Spain to reach the semi-finals of the 2002 world cup. The pride of their countries is at stake. Everyone will go there to win but, there will be only one winner. Should Brazil win it,it would be their record 6th title and if England do so, they will get to win the title after 40 years. Germany, the host nations will also be making efforts to win the title after narrowly missing out on the 2002 competition after being beaten by Brazil in the finals. Spain, with their young team which is going to set the whole tournament on fire fancies it’s chances too. Only God knows who is going to win. We can just pray that the nation we support get to win the title. But as it is said, Victory belongs to the most persevering. May the best team win.

They can of course. They are the favorites right now, however I believe they will not this year. They are weaker than past years in goal, defense, and midfield, and even their attack has been poor lately (Ronaldo, Adriano, Robinho). \n\nRonaldinho is their only ray of sunshine in this World Cup. Adriano will pick himself up and I think will do okay.\n\nI belive Italy will win this World Cup.

Germany has a weak division. I can see Klose being the leading scorer of the tournament. They already put up four in their first match. They will go far in the cup, and I foresee a lot of goals in their future.

The answer to this question is simple.  Brazil has all of the elements to win the world cup once again this year.  Their depth is their biggest asset.  That and they have the best player in the world with ronaldinho.  Their supurb play in qualifing only proved, once again that they are the class of the field.  I think England could make a push as well as Germany playing on home soil.  And for all of you americans out there we will be hard pressed to make it past Brazil in the second round.  Sorry!
