The US team is indeed great this year but they will have a tough time making into the next round now as they need to win against Ghana who upset Czech 2-0 plus they will need to beat them by atleast 3 goals unless Italy beats Czech in the next game.\n\nThe French have Zinedine Zidane who actually was the greatest player in the world --a world champion, European champion, European Cup winner and three-time FIFA World Player of the Year.  Unfortunately, every player's time eventually comes; he will be retiring after this cup.\n\nI'm supporting the USA also (though it will take a near miracle to make it into the next round - not altogether their fault - bad ref in Italy game) but I'm predicting Argentina upset over Brazil 2-1.

Do you mean who or how?\nWho: Leo Beenhakker is a Dutch coach for Trinidad & Tobago and he's done quite well in coaching them.  In Europe he has coached such teams as Ajax in The Netherlands and Real Madrid in Spain.\n\nHow:  Well he's quite good as T & T qualified for the world cup and they managed to hold Sweden to a goalless draw.

I think Iker Casillas will do the best for his team. Spain won't get too far, but they will go as far as he takes them. \n\nCech and Dida are in a bad bit of form, van der Saar is a bit too old, Lehmann has been playing well but not for Germany, and Buffon just came back from injury.\n\nAs far as which goalie will go farther I think it's Buffon because I believe Italy can win it.

Yeah   I think Gus Hiddink was the best in previous two cups but this time it would certainly Jurgen Klinnsman , Sven Goran Errikson or Marco van Basten.\n\nPreferably Klinnsman

Its hard to left behind players like Zico (Brazil), Koeman (Holland), Roberto Baggio (Italy), Cruyff (Holland), Romário (Brazil), Puskas (Hungary), Rossi (Italy), Van Basten (Holland), Klinsmann (Germany), Kempes (Argentina), Muller (Germany), Platini (France), Zoff (Itlay), Matthaus (Germany), Ronaldo (Brazil), Milla (Cameroon), Brehme (Germany), Di Stefano (Argentina)... as many other brilliant players but, since its the best of World Cups, here's my selection:\n\n1. Yashin (ex-URSS)\n\n2. Baresi (Italy)\n3. Beckenbauer -he was central defender, sweeper- (Germany)\n4. Cafú (Brazil)\n5. Maldini (Italy)\n\n6. Maradona (Argentina)\n7. Garrincha (Brazil)\n8. Zidane (France)\n9. Bobby Charlton (England)\n\n10. Eusébio (Portugal)\n11. Pélé (Brazil)

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

Its DEUTSCHLAND.\nThough underrated, the Germans have the tendency to Get Up at the World Cups. With the Likes of Ballack and Podolsky and the Home Crowd Support, they should do it in Style.

It has to go the player who most influenced his team's victory in a World Cup year.\n\nFabio Cannavaro may not played well all year but his performances were vital to the Azzurri winning their 4th title. Like it or not, it's him who deserves the award.\n\nZidane would be a close second followed by Samuel Et'oo.

Brazil in all cases is the best, WHY. The point is they have players which have indivedual skils which give the team the leading in case of plan failure. Ok we respect England but listen to english they are screaming coz of missing one player called RONNEY.

The definitive favorite for the World Cup is Brazil with the world's best offense featuring a wealth of forward talent--Ronaldo, Adriano, and Robinho--along with a spread of midfielders--including the world's current football king Ronaldinho--equal to England's. It doesn't hurt to have a fantastic keeper in Dida and defenders like Roberto Carlos and Lucio to fall back on if and when the goals dry up. Look for Team "Brasil" to win a second straight World Cup and a record sixth in their rich football history.
