Here is a name to remeber that probably won't be post by anyone else unless Borgetti is on these boards:\n\nOguchi Onyewu - best know as Gooch to his teammates and US supporters.  He completely shutdown Borgetti as the US beat Mexico to qualify for the Cup

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

Well its a hard desition but these would be my elections for their teams. I would apply a 4-3-3 for both teams, and the goal would be made by the player referred.(*) I am also only including countries that are participating in this World Cup, as well as players.\n\nEurope\nGolie: Gainluigi Buffon (Italy)\nDefenders: Philipp Lahm (Germany)\n                   Sergio Ramos (Spain)\n                   Fabio Cannavaro (Italy)\n                   Giovanni Van Bronckhorst (Netherlands)\nMidfields:    Michael Ballack (Germany)\n                   Frank Lampard (England) * (12m)\n                   Deco (Portugal)\nForwards:  Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Sweden)\n                  Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine) ** (54m, 81m)\n                  Thierry Henry (France)\n\nSouth America\nGolie: Roberto Carlos Abondanzieri (Argentina)\nDefense: Roberto Fabian Ayala (Argentina)\n                Sorin (Argentina)\n                Roberto Carlos (Brazil)\n                Cicinho (Brazil)\nMidfielders: Javier Masherano (Argentina)\n                   Ronaldinho (Brazil)\n                   Kaka (Brazil)* (27m)\nForwards:   Ronaldo (Brazil)* (45+)\n                   Roque Santacruz (Paraguay)\n                   Hernan Crespo (Argentina)\n\nFinal Result: Europe 3-2 South America

Current top contenders are Brazil, 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.

If you are just talking about this world cup alone, the answer is Miroslav Klose of Germany.  He has 4 goals.\n\nBut if you are talking about all-time leaders, including the two goals that Ronaldo of Brazil made against Japan, Ronaldo of Brazil and Gerd Muller of Germany are tied for the top spot of 14 goals.

Italy are usually a very solid defensive team which helps them to do well in World Cups. They also usually have one of the most well-rounded and star studded teams, with a star striker. Italy will hope to improve on their disappointing second round exit in the last World Cup and try to emulate their last triumph in 1982.

My best defender in this year's world cup is John Terry of England and Chelsea.

Well, considering they play the best attacking football, I would say one of the Brazilians. Ronaldo is obese and definitely not my favourite, but I would say him, because he is just lethal in front of goal. And with the kinds of Ronaldinho and Kaka feeding him balls, he has a big chance of topping the scorers chart.\n\nAt second place, I put Ruud Van Nistelroy.  He hasn't played much first team football this year with Manchester United, due to the explosion of Wayne Rooney.  But I believe he can make it good for Holland.\n\nIn third, Crespo can have a good campaign, aided by a superb Argentine squad, who will surely proceed to the very final stages of the competition.\n\nPlayers worth of mention, but who will not make it to the top of the scorers list because of their team:\n- Luca Toni (Italy)\n- Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine)\n- Dybril Drogba (Ivory Coast)

Brasil's team in 2010 will have a lot of new faces and a lot younger players with some veterans for leadership, Holding the defense will be Lucio and Juan, it prolly will be there last world cup, but expierenced players, then we will have the likes of Maicon,Cicinho, Adriano and Marcelo, playing the flanks on defence, in the holding defensive position be likely Gilberto Silva and Edmilson, with some youngsters as Dudu Cerensa and tinga backing them up, attacking Midfielders there will be Kaka, Ronaldinho, Daniel Carvalho, Elano, Diego, and at the as stikers we will have Fred, Robinho, Wagner love, Ricardo olieveira and Amauri.... there could some different players playing these positions as reserve plaers depending on who is healthy or not, but look for Brasil to have a good mix of veteran players and younger generation slowly working there way into the mix....
