Afraid not. The English always boast on how they are going to win every tournament they play, but have never delivered let alone be in a final since 1966.

i've been an England fan all of my life but you have to be realistic folks.  Yes i would love nothing better than England to win the World Cup but it will not happen in 2006.  We do have a good team, but i just don't believe we have a world class english goalkeeper.  And i'm not sure what Sven is doing picking only 5 strikers with 2 of them injured right now and 1 of them has never played a premiership game - shouldn't Theo have been called up in a friendly seeing as that's what they are for - EXPERIMENTATION!!!!\nGranted we have quite a few strikers in the premiership who could be backup to Rooney and Owen but they weren't chosen because of their poor form - but forgive me if i'm wrong, no matter how good a striker's form, they always find it tough adapting to playing for the national side.  A lot of good strikers have failed to score at international level even at the top of their form at club level.\nI believe England will reach the Quarter finals and get knocked out by the winners of the World Cup.\nThere's my prediction.  i'm begging you Sven please prove me wrong, but then again what do you care, you're leaving anyway.

I'm totally with you on this one. I think that he's one of the greatest midfield maestros that the modern game has ever seen. Unfortunately for him and Viera/Vieira (they share the same b-day) I don't think that France is playing their best football. They're an aging team, and haven't looked like the France of '98-'00. I think that it's a damn shame that a player of Zidane's calibre may have to celebrate his b-day and possibly his final international appearance for France, on the bench. Happy B-day to both of them, and for their sake, I hope that France wins, if for no other reason, than to let him go out in style, on the pitch where he belongs :)

Ferdinand for England...might just be one but it will be costly because it will most likely be in the 2nd or 3rd round.Against a strong team like Italy,reason I say that because Totti will show up this WC,unlike his last ones where he has disappointed everyone.He is going to play with a chip on his shoulder after the injury he had this season,he can't be stopped.

Brazil defeated Germany 2-0. South Korea finished 3rd. Brazil wont the World Cup a record 5 times, followed by Italy and Germany, with 3 wins apiece\n\nRonaldo scored both goals in that game and finished top scorer with 8 goals. It's interesting to note that he's third (tied with Pelé) in total World Cup goals, behind Just Fontaine (from France, 13 goals) and Gerd Muller (from Germany, 14 goals)

SINCE THEIR DEFEAT AGAINST SENEGAL IN 2002, FRANCE HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO REALLY STEP UP TO THEIR PREVIOUS WC STATUS. "PARDON MAIS LES FRANCAIS SONT HYPER NULS EN CE MOMENT"  THEIR TEAM IS AGING, COME ON MAN LOOK AT ZIDANE??????\n\nEXCEPT FOR VIERA (du senegal), TIERRY HENRY(il joue trop bien) AND BARTHEZ (allez l"om!), THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Zidane has the ability to completely take over a game and make the ball do as he pleases.  It will be his final hurrah, so I can see him performing at his peak.  Cafu is also in his last tournament, and Brazil will most likely retain the cup.

No way!!\nZidane, Henry, and Lizarazu were all injured for the Senegal game. Senegal, on the other hand had 6 top players retire over the last 4 years. Togo is a decent team, but nowhere near the level that France is on right now. As long as everyone stays healthy, I predict that France will win group G, and advance to the quarterfinals.

Germany has a weak division. I can see Klose being the leading scorer of the tournament. They already put up four in their first match. They will go far in the cup, and I foresee a lot of goals in their future.

1- Zidane wont retire\n2- Brazil\n3- Korea will get to the second round

Ronaldo is Finished... he must go back to the Amazon.. buy a big boat and start fishing... may be then he can lose some weight in the hot and humid rain forest...

The first World Cup was played in the year 1930 at Uruguay. The first goal was scored by France's Lucien Laurent in which France won 4-1 against Mexico. But the Cup was won by the hosts.\nAs for Pele, he has scored 12 goals in the World Cup, third in the all-time highest list.\n\nWHY DO PEOPLE COPY ANSWERS???\nGO DOWN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!!

Theo will get some playing time! First you have to think that England's front line is not as strong with out Rooney in the line up. Even if he is in, he won't be able to play 100 percent. I think that it is highly unlikely that he will be an impact at all. As of yesterdays training report he seems to be handling it very well ( Theo) and has even scored some goals which have given him a big boost. The other reason of why he will be in is that The coach has to prove why he brought him up to the Senior squad. He has not played in the Premiership therefore he has to justify it to England and the world. And believe me he will be fun to watch, and might be even get to score a goal.Remember that it's England's coach last time as head coach. He will want to leave a good impression. The question will be at what stage of the cup will he be in.

you're a student of NODET so i would say you probably support france,if not then Brazil?\n\nyou recently asked a question(which i answered correctly by the way),but you voted for a best answer someone who gave you the wrong answer!\nsurely if you didn't know the answer yourself,you should've let the community vote for you?!!\n\nthe question was if the ball hit the ref and went in would it be a goal,or if he stopped a goal,what would happen?\n\n100% it would be a goal\n100% if he stopped it it would not count,play would continue as normal!\n\nif the ball hits the referee on any part of the pitch.play will continue.\n\neven if a fan ran on and the ball hit him,play would continue as normal,play only stops for free kicks,penalties,injuries or if the ball goes out of play!

Owen has about 36 goals for England the most memorable of them I would say is the one against Argentina, which got him noticed around the world not just in the prem, and the Hat-rick against Germany in the 5-1 Victory. The record was Bobby Charlton's 49 goals I think Lineker may have equalled that or got 48. I think Owen will prob beat that but then may be beaten by Rooney not long after.

1.) England, they have the talent to go far, but then again Paraguay is making a name for themself...but they do have Roque Santa Cruz who is nursing his sore right knee....so it can be a very close game!\n2.)England 3- Paraguay 2\n3.)All around the world the English are know as being "elegant & sophisticated" people, but all those traits are out the window when it's game time!!! I LOVE IT!!!!\n4.)Hell Ya'!!! A lot of those English fans will be going home with some broken bones and black eyes!!!!!
