If you have to pick one team to win it, then yes. They're definitely the favorite but England, Italy, Germany, Argentina and Holland are all major threats.

Brazil are the favourites and whenever Brazil are the favourites, they do utter dragon dung...\n\nSo, I figure that they're not gonna win. They're gonna come very very close though like in France '98 but they're not come gonna pull through and hoist the trophy this year. Maybe in South Africa when they don't have all the pressure to perform on their shoulders...\n\nI rather fancy Argentina to win or perhaps Germany (if they get their defense together)... I do not see England winning like many people want to believe (the only reason they beat Paraguay was because Paraguay scored an own goal)! Spain was great today but whenever they get an international audience, they seem to get stage fright.

I think Brazil has a good chance of winning. So yes. If not, Italy.

Germany? We are talking about this world cup, right?  I would say Brazil, Argentina, or the Netherlands.   The Czechs are a good candidate also.    Germany......ha

The definitive favorite for the World Cup is Brazil with the world's best offense featuring a wealth of forward talent--Ronaldo, Adriano, and Robinho--along with a spread of midfielders--including the world's current football king Ronaldinho--equal to England's. It doesn't hurt to have a fantastic keeper in Dida and defenders like Roberto Carlos and Lucio to fall back on if and when the goals dry up. Look for Team "Brasil" to win a second straight World Cup and a record sixth in their rich football history.

More than likely either Brazil or Spain...I can almost guarantee you Italy will be winning it all, its just a matter of who they will be playing...

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.\n\nAny of the above countries could win the world cup 2006.   \n\nWhy? All these countries, except Holland, has the temperament and tradition, apart from footballing strength, in winning the cup for several times.

Picking a single team that would surely win the cup is very hard. But these ARE my picks that have a bigger chance of winning as this sport really sometimes create freak results.\nThe picks:\n1. Brazil: Possesses the most threatening attack, hands-down. Defense is highly improved.\n2. England: A well balanced team with every position filled with talents.\n3. France: Zinedine Zidane returning at the heart of midfield as with Claude Makelele rejuvenated this squad. Great attacking threat of Henry is crucial.\n4. Argentina: A team loaded with creative midfielders and attackers with a defensive line-up to be vey proud of.\n5. Germany: A team with a successful World Cup history. Although the team is not that threatening in terms of the line-ups with Ballack as the only one having a "superstar" status, their pride playing on their home soil could really step-up their performance.\n6. Italy: Defensively strong starting from the midfield and their cattenaccio style still works for them. They also have lots of great talents.\n\nSpecial Mention:\nPortugal and Netherlands: they have great potentials and could come out as dark horses

yeah, brazil is a really strong team. england's good too, but i haven't seen them reaching even the semi-finals in the recent past. brazil's the fav this year, argentina's good, spain and italy, portugal have a chance. i'm supporting holland.

Portugal\nEngland is not that good\nheres a different way to look at it from whats been mentioned\nargentina was the second world cup favorite, before their game against mexico in the round of 16, very exciting game, and argentina almost lost.  and portugal kicked butt against mexico.\nalthough they won't have deco, i think they'll do fine, they did fine after deco left, not allowing holland to score.  and holland also tied w/ argentina awhile back.  it was 0-0 but still. \nGO PORTUGAL!!!!! \nYOUR GOIN DOWN ENGLAND!!!
