This is going to be one of the best matches of the World Cup.  They have very similar playing styles.  Germany will struggle with their attack but being the "home team" they will probably take them right to the end.  Germany 1-0

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.

Michael Ballack\nGermany, the pundits declare, has just one world-class player going into the 2006 World Cup. But considering that man is Michael Ballack the hosts will feel anything is possible. \nBallack faces two huge challenges this year: to lead Germany to victory in the World Cup and then proving his star qualities all over again in England after he moves to Chelsea. \n\nAt 29, the man from Goerlitz in the old East Germany has matured into the sort of midfielder every coach wants. \n\nHis influence may not always be obvious over 90 minutes, and the German media can be harsh in its criticism of him, but there is no player quite like him when the clock is ticking down and nothing but a goal will do. \n\nSimply put, he thrives on pressure and when his team desperately needs a goal it is inevitably Ballack throwing himself into the penalty area to make the decisive header or provoke the foul that will bring it.

No doubt brazil will be the hottest favourtie but don't forget about germany the host! They're strong once in the finals. Remember last world cup? They're mediocre in the qualifying rounds but fought to the final but lost 2-0 to brazil. Italy ain't bad also and watch out for argentina with lionel messi as their new engineer. These are the 4 potential winners, i believe.

Of course Germany will win.  I don't know if it will be so fair though.  The Germans are just so much better it almost seems unfair to put them against a team that will do so much worse...ha ha...but Germany will win!

If Brazil wins the cup, they will keep the cup. Germany has not won 3 of the new World Cup after Brazil took home the first one so Germany will not take home the cup.

Yes, that would probably make it more exciting than it already is!! \nMany good teams have not won the world cup, they need the opportunity to shine!

Yes I agree Brazil is highly favorable to win the cup, but i'm surprized Germany didn't get more votes, all their players are very elite and I believe they too have a very good chance to win it this year.
