Who will be England's world cup hero this year?

Think Michael Owen as well or Beckham.\n\nGutted about Rooney.

Ecuador, in my opinion. Although England has first class players, Ecuador has an urge for winning this WC, and i think that urge will lead them to the semi-final. Who knows?

I can't answer yet as to whether or not this year's World Cup will be special because it all hinges on the final outcome. I am of course cheering for England, all the way! \n\nI'm mostly sanguine with the results so far, though I was very disappointed to see England allow bloody Sweden to tie up their match this evening. The Three Lions will have to do better than that from here on out or risk facing elimination. \n\nI expect England to defeat Ecuador in the Round of 16 and then to face Germany (who will doubtless beat Sweden). That quarterfinal match may prove to be the best and most hotly contested of the lot. I hope England emerges victorious and ultimately wins it all... though getting past your Brazilian squad will prove an extraordinarily difficult task, Moon.\n\nCOME ON, ENGLAND!!!

Either Germany (Home advantage),Portugal (just watch them I believe this could be their year) or Brazil (as they are a class above all the rest).Argentina are a spent force and will go home early again.England are lacking any passion and with Mclarren being touted as the next manager will continue being underachievers for the foreseeable future.They need either Pearce or Ian Wrights passion as leaders to go all the way and the English FA are still as spineless now as they were when they turned down Brian Clough.I dont think an African country will lift the world cup in my lifetime or my sons.They may have passion but lack the technical ability and infastructure to mount a serious threat.

Ronaldinho probably. Anywhay, doesn't matter. Brazil will be the champ.

i think it would be HOLLAND or ENGLAND to win the world cup this time around.They have waited this long and i do think they have a great team of both experienced players and a mix of young and full of energy players to snatch this cup from the early favorites such as BRAZIL,GERMANY,ITALY,ARGENTINA,FRANCE.

ENGLAND's famous son, becomes the 1st player from ENGLAND to score in three world cup finals.\n\none of the best free-kick specialist apart from Roberto Carlos. hey.......did you saw the goal against ECUADOR last night?? Bend it like Beckham.

Well, the golden boot will go to the most prominant strker of the competition, and generally he will be a member of the winning team...so for that reason alone it's hard to predict the golden boot.....if you think Brazil will win, i think the boot will go to Ronaldinho (even though he's not a so called deep striker)....if England goes all the way, then Rooney would be my bet. If France or Argentina make it deep in the tournament, i would pick Henry or Crespo for the honors....it's just hard to say, but these guys would be my guess.

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.

if you mean the world cup 2006, it would be ronaldinho.  he got the player of the year award two times in the row, one in 2004 and the other in 2005.  i believe that ronaldinho will be the next pele

It has to be Lukas Podolski, as much as i don't want the Germans to win World Cup 2006.\nHe has made a brilliant performance, and has been much better player than Messi and definitely Rooney without a doubt. He deserves miles off than any of the others. The team can rely on him to be a striker, he ain't going to have temper tantrums like Rooney. He will score goals in many more years to come.\nMessi? he is very young and has made a great breakthrough even tho he is only 19 now he hasn't had much international caps as Rooney or Podolski, but his time will come.

its suppose to be Ronaldinho.. In my opinion it could be Frank Lampard (England) or Pavel Nedved (Czech Republic)
