Does anyone besides me think that Germany and England are overrated?

I agree, they are overrated.  Everyone acts like they are amazing, just like brazil, but in reality they get very lucky.  England plays their players in positions that they never play until international play, and they get goals.  Germany has a great goalie...and that's about it, if a team has a great keeper, and an average team, they will do good, but they aren't amazing.  I have to disagree with you on Brazil, France, and Italy.  Brazil has a great chance, but i think the underdogs have the best chance (i.e. Uruguay, Serbia, Angola)

I am sure there was,but England still enoys me,because they had an agreement with Germany not to apply for the World Cup.Germany gave them 1996.

Beckham is the most overrated player in football. Rio is piss poor.Crouch is the sorriest excuse for a football player i have ever seen,rooney is a thug,Owen is past it,Lennon is an unknown,the coles are average,Robinson is ok,Carragher isnt england class,gerrard,lampard,terry and rooney are the only players who i rate.

No.  Brazil has way too much cajones.  The England style is too slow.

Yes, because I don't think that England has their best team right now. They are suffering from alot of injuries, like Pakistan.

That is not true. A lot of people care, more than you  think. Just check the bars around June and see how many people are following their countries. It is truly a world champion, unlike the MBL NBA and the NFL whose teams are all from the USA. How can you really be a world champion if you did not play against any other countries? Germany has a good chance just because the fact that they are the "home team" and that is always good. Brazil is always the favorite. Argentina is always in the mix as Italy, England and France.

not this year England went to Germany with a lot of injuries and this will effect the play of England they are not going to make it.the swede probably deserved it .they have a couple of guys that think the yellow card is part of there uniform .check the Sweden England match for examples .Germany is strong but so is Brazil  Australia is the real sleeper they played Brazil up to the last minute and missed alot of potential goals but that's part of the game.Spain ,Italy and Mexico two struggling teams.England isn't able to face off with Brazil or Germany both would run them into the ground with England forced into a defensive game as with the Sweden match  second half when they still had some strikers that could walk.the depend on a young 18 year old to see them thru the world cup.alot of people thought England was gambling with the selection well it came back and bit them in the first round that they struggled out to advance.

He is very overrated. He and Beckham are the most overrated footballers in England today. I hope that the English team goes far this summer so that the world can see that other players exist outside of Rooney and Becks.

It is hard to predict a result. my favorite team is England and Germany. they have different strategy. So it's interesting to watch they play in final.

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!

Either Germany (Home advantage),Portugal (just watch them I believe this could be their year) or Brazil (as they are a class above all the rest).Argentina are a spent force and will go home early again.England are lacking any passion and with Mclarren being touted as the next manager will continue being underachievers for the foreseeable future.They need either Pearce or Ian Wrights passion as leaders to go all the way and the English FA are still as spineless now as they were when they turned down Brian Clough.I dont think an African country will lift the world cup in my lifetime or my sons.They may have passion but lack the technical ability and infastructure to mount a serious threat.

No England dint think that they are the greatest like Brazil but they do work hard! Why do you think they admitted they need to improve? Its not to boast is it!! \n\nBy saying Rooney's not much obviously you don't like him but you can not disagree that he is a good player and to even stay on the pitch for as long as he has still recovering with his injury is great! Think about that before you put him down. Although Yeah Beckham is overrated but has proved his worth :P\n\nEngland works hard like Germany thanks very much PEACE! I mean Hargreaves carried on and still managed to defend England by kicking the ball out even though you could see he was in pain. He continued and persevered through blood and a Ref wanting him moved (lol)! \n\nGO ENGLAND! =D
