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

Brazil are the best team in the world at the moment.\nThey are also favourites to win the World Cup this summer, but I always say to expect the unexpected!

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.

between the two id go with germany cause they have homefield advantage and brazil hasnt been playing all that great.  but i think italy will be in the finals anyway.

i think it would be HOLLAND or ENGLAND to win the world cup this time around.They have waited this long and i do think they have a great team of both experienced players and a mix of young and full of energy players to snatch this cup from the early favorites such as BRAZIL,GERMANY,ITALY,ARGENTINA,FRANCE.

Brazil is going to win.. There chances are very high because of there amazing line-up.

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.

sigh well i believe that germany, brazil, england, france, italy, and korea all have a chance. Brazil has world class players and is probably the team i expect to win. However, Germany has home field advantage so they have an edge. France and Italy always finish very well (well except for france the last world cup...). England has a new and dangerous style of playing with the tall peter crouch and wawyne Rooney. Korea has got a sercret weapon, J.s. Park, which might break out and be amazing and win.

No doubt brazil will be the hottest favourtie but don't forget about germany the host! They're strong once in the finals. Remember last world cup? They're mediocre in the qualifying rounds but fought to the final but lost 2-0 to brazil. Italy ain't bad also and watch out for argentina with lionel messi as their new engineer. These are the 4 potential winners, i believe.

England because of the simple fact I'm English.\n\nBut whilst we've got a good chance other nations do as well. Brazil undoubted favourites, Argentina the old enemy, Germany host nation (never to be underestimated), Holland just good anyway, Spain and Portugal allways good contenders, Italy 3 times winner's, and finally Ghana and the Ivory Coast African nations are up and coming and they should be considered for the winning spot. \n\nI'm English and will always support them to win whether they have a good chance or not. If we go out I'm supporting the underdogs or the country I think has a good chance.\n\n3 Lions on the shirt! Come on England!

Whoever wins the final game will win the World Cup.

even though many of us want our favourite nations to win.\nI think the team that plays the best football, and cheats (dives etc) the least should win the world cup, but thats not how it works nowadays and brazil are the favourites this year aswell, just like last year and the year before.

Brasil is an amazingly talented team, and Germany's good, but I don't think they'll be in the finals. Maybe I'm just biased. I think England or Italia has got a chance. Either way, I don't care as long as I see some great football! I'm so excited for World Cup!!!!!!!!! Forza Azzurri!

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.

Italy not only has a chance to win the world cup but also it is one of the only countries that has a chance to win. I fully support Italy and know this year Italy playing in Europe will help them to go to the final match. Italy will be the champions. In this world cup Italy will humiliate Brazil. Wait and see. The only dangerous teams for Italy would be England (if Rooney is back) and Germany. The rest will be a piece of cake to platy with.

I gotta say Italy.  I'd be surprised if Brazil wins.  I'm nervous about Germany though.
