for example last world cup germany and brazil were in the top 2 cause they are really good teams. But this world cup Brazil might not be good.

I want Argentina to win this year. So far they are at the top of the score board, and new players such as ZABALETA Pablo, and MESSI Lionel are going to bring some fierce competition to the cup. Aside from that, there are also some very interesting  new countries that have qualified in the world cup, so there might be a lot of surprizes.

Us didn't make it to the top 8 in the world rankings, according to FIFA's algorithm in the selection of the seeding teams for the FIFA World Cup 2006.\n\nFIFA ranks the teams based on the results of the last 2 world cups - 2002 and 1998, where 2002's results weigh twice as much as 1998's results.

France, altought it has not too many expectative, it could be very competitive in this world cup.\nIt has very good players, and cause zidane is retiring from futbol (soccer) in this cup, maybe the team will give something extra when they play. \nFrance has been a lot of times in the world cup, they also won a cup in France 98, against Brazil in the final\n\nArgentina, has a very good team, there are a lot of good players, has a very competitive team. But, the big problem is that they are in the death group, and is very hard to say what will happen. \nAs an extra tip, Maradona, their biggest star from all times said that the people should not have too much expectatives about their team.\nAlso, Argentina have been in a lot of world cups, always arriving with lot nof expectatives, and has 2 world cups in his power.\n\nEcuador, we have to see. They have a very competitive team. Almost all the starting team have been playing together for about 8 years, so it will be interesting. \nIt has to play against Germany (it will be hard, but at the match time, Germany will probably be classified to the next round), Poland (the harder game) and Costa Rica (almost the same level, so its hard to say who will win) \nEcuador has classified for first time to Korea Japan 2002 world cup. In the world cup, it beated Croatia, and lost against Mexico and Italy

I think Brazil is a little bit overrated. Sure they've won 5 world cups and their players are the most famous and highest-payed anywhere in the world, but that doesn't make them undefeatable. Didn't they struggle against Australia? How about against Croatia? Let's not mention that great goal by Japan. Besides, up until now Spain, England and Germany have had better or equal performances than Brazil's in the world cup. So yeah, they are overrated.

I think Brazil is favored by Fifa as always. I dont' want to waste my time talking about this awful team, they are garbage for me

Nobody has won more World Cup titles.  Nobody.  Besides, just look at how they play.  Even if they didn't win so much, which they have, they would still be respected for their artistry alone.

Brazil is the best soccer team in the World.

I don't think they started off excellent, bu i still think they have very high chances at winning.... after all they've got Ronaldinho Guacho that was voted best player in the world (twice) and Ronaldo ...a dn both are really good... and some other excellent players... Last world cup they started of like this too and they became 5 times champion....

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.

Brazil is the best qualifer in team competition

I think that because of the team it has, Brazil is one of the strongest candidates to win the world cup. However, the Czech Republic showed to be very strong and firm (even though they defeated the US... I am so disappointed) as well as Spain was the bomb today.  I don't think that Mexico will win. Reason being, they show strength when they play against Central American countries, but when they face a strong team, bye bye.  I would like a unusual team to win the world cup, for example the Czech Republic, Netherlands, even an African country... that would be a surprise, but oh well, let's just wait.

Again, yes. But not this year. They are not as strong a team as they were compared to past years. England and Netherlands are strong too. So this world cup will be one of the more exciting ones

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!

Brazil does not cheat germany does they cheat like crazi. they shouldn't get into the world cup in the first place.

No, It has inspired me, some good games by ghana, costa rica & cote de ivory... really big teams struggled with these guys. good matches, lots of hits and misses happens in all the WC, watch out for some more interesting games, may the best team win.

Brazil doesn't play good football, they play winning football.The last Brazil great team, was 1990, and they lost. !982 and 1970 were great teams, 1994 was horrible and 2002, mediocre.

In my opinion USA can't show good performance in the fortcoming fifa worldcup as it has to win the great power block like italy and czech republic in its first round. both of its great rivals are going germany with great hope of wining. but dont give up hope USA fan it is football anything can happen as croatia did in wc '98.
