pre-world cup performance does not guarantee a world cup win. we can take the example of 2002 Japan Korea world cup, where Brazil struggled to qualify to become one of 32 nations to play the tournament, and then won the world cup for fifth time ! France and Argentina were the top favorites to win the cup, but they were eliminated in the first round. and what South Korea did? they played in the semi-final!\n\nwell, temperament will be the name of the game as soon as the world cup begins. tradition will come second. for such reasons, only 5 countries lifted the world cup for 15 times out of 17 tournaments followed by 2 countries won one time each.\n\nin my opinion, top contenders of this Germany 2006 are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournamentand hence, should be watch out carefully. If Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.\n\nAny of the above top contenders could win the world cup 2006.

think Brazil had an extra gear which they didn't need to use, (Ronaldo never turned up). Croatia will beat the Aussies and qualify for the next round

they played great they where very 'very unlucky not to be awarded a penalty when it was 1-0 to Italy. they looked very quick going forward and apart from the mistake for the 2nd goal they looked strong in defence they just didn't seem to have any quality when they where in Italy's box. but Italy where very impressive if not a little lucky.

nope. the ukraine had a way better offense than switzerland. it didnt catch the final shoot out but the rest of the game was amazing. The Ukraine deserved to win though. i bet Brazil gonna win the cup though [:

Don't worry. No need to watch. We can see the result. the USA wins. Even if Korea is stronger than the USA, the USA is going to win with unfairness!! Now I can understand WBC is of the USA, by the USA, and for the USA. Change the name of WBC into USABC!!

Let's keep it very simple. US 94 they did not qualify, France 98 it was at home (they did not have to eliminate), Japan-Korea 2002 well come back to reality, eliminatory rounds for 2006 they had problems to qualify (still in reality) so chances to win?? lets stay in reality almost none.

GO TEAM KOREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nin the first half of the game today with france, their performance kind of sucked: their passing was just atrocious and the ball kept getting stolen, but they really shaped up in the second half (just like in the game against togo) which tied the game!!

yes i think they really do have a chance winning the world cup. their doing well in group play and in the games their scoreing two to three goals, and they have the players to do it with ronaldo and luis figo last chance to win the world they can do it. But they need to continue the way they been playing.\n\np.s. i think figo is under rated

hahaha Italy sucks!!!! They are not playing well since Korea 2002. They complained about 4 years ago regarding the ref. They should know that the problem with the ref. was way before that.\nI think the worldcup is a crap, and only generate HATE and VIOLENCE between nations.\nAGUANTE bOcA

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.

Yeah, I agree. When Ronaldo is healthy, they will play better. Croatia didn't play above expectations, Brazil played below expectations.

I just want to say ONE thing: 4 years ago, 2002 World Cup, KOREA advanced to the quarter finals after the game with ITALY. The referee (Byron MORENO) did what no one else had ever done befor in soccer, and as a result KOREA won the game. Mr. Moreno was right after radiated from refereeing soccer again. NOTE: the World Cup was in Korea-Japan. Anyway, WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND.

That is your opinion, but re-match do not exist in soccer, unless there was a technical error (which it was not the case).\nKoreans may be right to complain about the game with Switzerland, BUT they where not complaining 4 years ago, 2002 World Cup, KOREA advanced to the quarter finals after the game with ITALY. The referee (Byron MORENO) did what no one else had ever done before in soccer, and as a result KOREA won the game. Mr. Moreno was right after radiated from refereeing soccer again.

The numbers says: Korea needs a draw if Switzerland wins (by a difference at most of 1 goals) or draw against Togo tomorrow. \nBut if Switzerland wins by 2 or more goals difference, then  Korea needs to win, to assure they will pass to the next round, because if France wins against Togo at least with a difference of  2 goals, Korea is OUT.\nAt the end, KOREA NEEDS TO WIN because the points are to close between the teams, if there is a certain combination we could have Korea and TOGO in the next round.\n\nLets check one of the possibility\nLets asume Switzerland wins his match against Togo (1:0), the positions will be:\nKorea 4 points, Switzerland 4 points, France 2 Points, Togo 0 point\nThen:  \n@ Korea needs a draw with Switzerland (0-0).
