Well there's obviously some bias here.\n\nSo far 20 out of 25 people have picked India, with 3 maybes and 2 nos.\n\nSo does this mean we should all go down and put our hard earned money on them.  I don't see how you can be so confident.\n\nYou gotta win the World Cup, it's not just given to you.\n\nYou need to have the players to do it.  Having some good players will win you some games but not the whole tournament.\n\nWhat makes all of you think you can get past Australia, Sth Africa or even England.  \n\nHow about batting lets see the latest rankings.\n1   Adam Gilchrist  AUS   \n2   Mahendra Dhoni  IND   \n3   Ricky Ponting  AUS   \n4   Andrew Symonds  AUS   \n5   Mike Hussey  AUS  \n\nOuch - 4 out of the top 5 - in the World.\n\nBowling\n\n1  Shaun Pollock  SA  858  \n2  Irfan Pathan  IND  765  \n3  Shane Bond  NZ  762  \n4  Glenn McGrath  AUS  756  \n5  Daniel Vettori  NZ  750  \n6  Brett Lee  AUS  732  \n7  Nathan Bracken  AUS  723  \n8  Muttiah Muralitharan  SL  701  \n9  Chaminda Vaas  SL  693  \n10  Harbhajan Singh  IND  690  \n\nNot many Indians here either.\n\nIndia winning the world cup is Wishful thinking.

Absolutely Not. Look at the perfomance of Bob Woolmer, Tom Moody and Gregg Chappel and you will find the answer. I seriously believe that sub continent teams should relay on their own former greats to coach their sides. Likes of Wasim, Javed, Ranatunga, Desilva,Srinath and Wishwanath are not they capable enough to coach their national sides? We poor asians are actually impressed with whites and consider them something out of the world but whites know very well that sub continent is full of talent and capable of beating them at any level.

so many questions...\n\nfirstly a suggestion.(for your own benefit) please don't put abusive statements (like you have done)or someone will report you for abuse..\n\ndon't worry i haven't..\n\nnow your answers...India has a future, a bright one. but yes there are hinderances (i sound like an astrologer. hee.hee..). it may sound cliched but yes corruption and poverty need to be removed at any cost. we need to unite and rise above caste based politics..\nit might win the fifa world cup. but definitely not in the near future. because india has a long way to go as far as football is concerned and due attention has to be given to this sport. the value of rupee will surely rise as the position of india in the world economy is becoming stronger.. \nNO PAKISTAN DOESN'T SUCK..\n( I AM AN INDIAN)\nits just the terrorists and the fundamentalists there who suck..(same applies for india).\nIndia is already on the path of becoming a super power\nINDIA ROCKS AND I LIKE BOLLYWOOD..\n\nAND YES.. I AM MAD..JUST LIKE YOU

Absolutely. India is the world's biggest democracy and could easily become the third biggest economy. With the proper social reforms and a more realistic government India could be a superpower sooner than China. Alas, only hatred and prejudices die hard and will restrain growth until they are addressed.

It's not as easy as you might think. I think Japan is the best Asian team in the World Cup and has a strong midfield which contains the 2 -time Asain player of the year \nHidetoshi Nakata(Bolton)and Celtic star Shunsuke Nakamura.\nThey also have Mitsuo Oqasawara as a set-piece master. Forwards like Yanagisawa and Takahura will also cause problems for the other defenses.Australia is also a very strong team with Liverpool's star midfielder Harry Kewell,\nEverton's own Tim Cahill, and Boro's striker Viduka and goalkeeper Schwarzer. The also have young talent in Craig Moore on defense.And don't count out Croatia with Dado Prso running up top. This might actually be one of the toughest groups!!!

Yes, that would probably make it more exciting than it already is!! \nMany good teams have not won the world cup, they need the opportunity to shine!

It's hard to say. Saudi Arabia defender Hamad Al Montashari was named Asian Player of the Year this past year. The Al Ittihad star beat off the challenge of Uzbekistan's Dynamo Kiev striker Maksim Shatskikh for a title diminished by the exclusion of most of Asia's best players because they could not travel to Malaysia for the ceremony.\n\nAn Asian Football Confederation (AFC) dictate that a player must attend the ceremony to be eligible for the award ruled out Manchester United star Park Ji-Sung and his South Korean teammate Lee Young-Pyo of Tottenham Hotspur. It also excluded the Japanese pair of Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidetoshi Nakata and last year's winner Ali Karimi of Bayern Munich.\n\nMy choice would be Park Ji-Sung from South Korea. I think he has been an important part of Manchester United's run this year.

I dont think so. India is a far far better team to WI. I think Lara, Chanderpaul are the only quality International players there.

Imdia is weak in Football. For enterence in FIFA World Cup, qualifier rounds are there. If a country passes these qualifiers, they are qualified for World Cup. As a matter of fact, India was selected for FIFA World Cup in 1950. India ,then, was so poor that the players played without wearing Shoes.So, they were not allowed to play!!!

Function? To make up the numbers, to ensure Asian teams are represented, after all this is the WORLD Cup.

My answer is not all of the Asian country still not develop but some of them. The team which was built their name in this industry is Japan, South KOrea, China, Iran and Thailand. But the others team is still on the way to built up. But we must know that the football is not can develop only by money. It is by our passion to built up what we want. Like example for the country which have the pro-spec to be the one of the known football team is Malaysia. Do we?But some of people ask that when Malaysia to be the one of the world cup candidate. The answer is don't know, ask the FAM.The one thing that we always seen or heard in the football scenario is about money.Some of the player think about money not their career to be a good footballer.Like in  REal Madrid team, the players was have salaries around hundred thousand for two weeks. But in this season there not win any cup for this season. So that is the point that what I like to say.So, for the Asian countries team dont said not have money to built up the country.It only the passion and love  of football. See ya in the coming World Cup..2010
