i'd like to see germany win.  they've really out done themselves in this cup.  people were not expecting them to even get this far.\n\nargentina has a really strong team.  germany is going to really  have to hustle.

I will go for Germany. France may need to buck up. As zidane the play maker had retired. Italy is a team which is not consistent. They had lost to France in the euro qualifying which doubt their world cup champion.

I agree Germany and Brazil. It should be a good game with those two powerhouses playing each other. <smiles with anticipated glee>

I think there a several teams who could win it.  I'd love to see the US win, of course.  Brazil is the usual favorite.  I think England and Argentina both have a good chance.  Germany on their home turf will be difficult to beat.  And Netherlands will be tough.  If I had to pick one, I guess I'd go with the safe choice: Brazil.

Brazil has an amazing line-up as always so they will probably end up taking it, but France has Henry and Zidane working together so I'm thinking it will be either France or Brazil. I'll still be rooting for the USA, even if I don't see them winning

Argentina! I think they just might win the World Cup this year. They are not the team I am rooting for but after having watched them play they look very good to continue onto the semi-finals.

According to a recent poll on oddsDNA.com , Brazil will win the World Cup (followed by France and Argentina)\n\nBut you can change this prediction anytime by voting for your favorite team :p

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.\n\nAny of the above country could win the world cup 2006.

Player by player, Brazil is the favorite. However, everything leading up to the 2006 tournament is similar to that of Spain 1982. Brazil was the heavy favorite, like the 2006 squad. Player by player they were awesome (Zico, Socrates, Falcao, etc). England was also a heavy favorite along with Argentina. France, Italy and Germany, Belgium themselves were minor favorites who could do some damage along the way, but not expected to. Then you had the E. European squads who had the potential to go far but were too full of surprises to know how they would flare (Poland, Hungary, U.S.S.R., Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia). Spain had a nice squad but a long shot. The new teams that qualified were expected to just participate and die out, but in the end most gave surprises like Honduras, Algeria, Cameroon, who almost eliminated group favorites until their last game. \n\nI believe 2006 will replay like 1982. Brazil will overwhelm, but fall short by a soccer power not likely to go far (like Italy vs Brazil in 1982). England will go far too, but fall short. Same for Argentina. Spain will underachieve as it always does since 1982, and the new teams will surprise many and give many squads a run for their money. So I will say that the team to win the 2006 world cup shall be either Italy or Germany, 3rd and 4th place between France and a E. European squad (Poland, Czech Rep. or Ukraine) if not Holland.

If I had to pick a team out of this group to win, or at least go furthest, I'd pick Germany.  Here's how I rate all these teams' chances.\n\nGermany: Were runners up at last world cup in Korea/Japan.  Not as strong as legendary West (or unified) Germany teams of the past, but will benefit from being hosts.  Need more inspired performances from captain Michael Ballack.\n\nFrance: Another footballing power temporarily underperforming.  Not as dominant as the team from 1998 to 2000.  Zidane's influence is on the wane.  Henry and Trezeguet don't seem to reproduce club form on international stage.\n\nItaly: Have not actually watched Italy live for a while but somehow the same stars seem to be in the squad every time I check.  Euro 2004 and World Cup 2002 were a bit of a disappointment for them.  Seemingly no new young star around to energize.\n\nSpain: Best wishes to the Spanish supporters who have posted.  However, if any team needs to shake the tag of "perennial underachievers", it's them.  Raul, their talisman, is currently injured.  Morientes and Mendieta, among the stars of the 2002 campaign, are blowing hot and cold in England.  Torres to step up?\n\nEngland: Wayne Rooney should carry them pretty far but a part of me says they'll be up a goal in the second half of a knock-out stage match and the manager (Eriksson) will play his usual death-knell move and bring on Phil Neville, Owen Hargreaves, and Kieron Dyer (middling midfielders), leading to a reversal.\n\nUS: I believe they drew a tough group.  Then again, they upset Portugal at the last world cup.  Much depends on whether the core of talents like Donovan, Beasley and McBride can carry them again.
