What are the odds that a south or north american team will win the world cup?

Any bookie could give you the exact odds.  It probably wouldn't be worth a bet though because as the previous answer says, Brazil and Argentina are both well capable of winning it.

The chances are high, because Brazil is in South America, and since they are the best, they are going to win.

I do. They have a chance.\n\nI'm not saying they will win, I'm not even sure who will win, but i'm saying that they could win and defeat anyone if they play as they showed they can last summer at the Confederations Cup, where they defeated Brazil (full with stars) and forced Argentina to Penalty kicks and scored 3 goals to Germany, and forced the definition to overtime.\n\n\nThey have the best central defense in the world (or at least one of the top 3) Rafa Marquez, and 2 excelent forwards.

I think realistically, Brazil is probably the best team out there, but I'd sure like to see USA do well.  They have a really tough group though, and to get past the first round would be a major mental victory.

There are 3-4 teams which have chances to iwn the World Cup.\n\nThe 1st one : Brazil, the last WC winners who are still great i i would be very surprised if they wont be at least 2nd. With new stars like Robinho, Adraino and Juninho they can be even better as they were 4 years(the Confederations Cup showed that clearly)\nThe 2nd one: Germany - as the host of the WC they will have an advantage of hundreds thousands fans. \n3rd one: Argentina - after being knockout after 1st round in Korea nad Jupan, they ambitions are at the top and they will do their best to win the WC\n4th one: France - also being eliminated very soon, with new/old players like Zidane, Thuram, Gallas, Pedretti and Coupet their chances are quite big for a high place.\n\nTeams that can made a surprise are USA, Ivory Coast and Ukraine.

IN 2006 WORLD CUP NO BODY CAN UNDER ESTIMATED BECAUSE EVRY TEAM HAVE GREAT PLAYERS TO WIN THE WORLD CUP. ARGENTINA ALSO A CANDIDATE FOR WORLD CUP.

I think that the team that wins the final game will win the world cup this year. I'd like my country to win it.

Alot of people outside the USA doesn't see what is going on inside the country for the game's development.  I am English living in New Jersey as a product of my job, and scream Three Lions as loud as any other.  However I have a different  respect for North American soccer now, as the governing bodies are really starting to Bolster it's developmnent.  As for winning in 2006, anything is possible, but i genuinely believe the title is going to one of the European teams this year, though depending on the luck of the draw, I think Team USA has a valid chance of advancing to the quaters.

The possibilities are few as African teams have to pit their wits again europe superhouses and south america's giant powers. The most probable team to go the furtherest in the world cup is ivory coast but even so, their performance has not been superb enough to match the likes of brazil, germany and they don't really deserve to win. \n\nIvory Coast has Drogba, Toure and many more solid player. They have watertight defences, fluid midfield and wonderful striking, giving themselves an edge over Nigeria.

Not at this point no. I mean, sure...if they make it to the finals they might get a lucky goal at the last second if they can keep a tie. That'd be about the only way. There are too many teams with way more talent out there for the US to have a solid chance at winning by pure skill alone.

I care.  I think the U.S. has a good chance to advance.  They're experienced, in contrast to the typical U.S. team...and confident, with quality international talent at nearly every position.  I hope they play good matches....win at least one and tie another...give themselves a chance.

No, I think as always Brazil is the team to watch out for. The United States could be a surprisingly strong team, but I do not think they will win it this year.

It is likely to be between Germany and Brazil. Brazil has won the World Cup 5 times. The home team has also won it five times with the Germans winning it three times including the last time the World Cup was played on German soil. The two teams were finalists in the last world cup. Brazil are the early favourites followed by England, Germany, Argentina and Italy.\n\nGiven this, the most likely winners are Brazil and Germany.

Not anytime soon, that's for sure. The U.S. will never win a world cup as long as the best athletes in America play other sports. For god sake the game is called football not soccer. And as long as the leagues in America have no talent pool and bad youth systems, there is no good outlook for American soccer.

no, but maybe one day the world cup will be in america
