There are various factors to consider when answering this question.  I'll rank teams based on positions\n\nGoalie\nItaly.  Gigi Buffon is amazing\nPoland.  2 great goalies there\nGermany: Lehman is good enough\n\nDefense:\nItaly\nSpain\n\n\nMidfield:\nBrazil (Kaka, Ronaldinho, Cicinho, Emerson, etc..)\nArgentina (Riquelme, Messi, Mascherano, Gonzalez)\nItaly (Pirlo, Camoranesi,  DeRossi, Gattuso)\nEngland (Gerrard, Beckham, Cole)\n\n\nOffense:\nBrazil (Adriano, Robinho, Ronaldo, etc..)\nItaly (Toni, Totti, Del Piero, Gilardino, many more)\nArgentina (Tevez, Crespo, Delgado)\nGermany/England

Presuming you are talking about 2006 FIFA world Cup : Top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, England (if Rooney fit to play) and Germany. Holland will be the dark horse of the tournament.

Brazil has a good chance but also Germany has a good chance so it's going to be an interesting world cup.

The best players are in Brazil team. But for them it is almost impossible to win in Europe. Hence, the best chances in my opinion have Germany as a host and Italy which has very good and ambitious squad.

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.

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament. However, if Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.\n\nAny of the above countries could win the world cup 2006.

To have a fair point of view,i would have to say the normal favourites would get throught the 1st round,but there is always a chance that an upset can be caused.Just take a look at the last one,Argentina,France...just disasters.As far as i m concerned..i m guessing that brazil and england have a good shot at it..but nothing is  taken away from germany..as they are playin at home and they have one heck of a captain.The others such as Portugal and Holland,they may cause some upsets among the new big boys and with a liltle bit of luck they may go all the way.But in my opinion,i would have to say England..The players all hyped up and theres nothin we can say about the likes of Frank Lampard,Steven Gerrard,John Terry,Paul Robinson and the ever present Wayne Rooney

Very hard to call at this point in time. Brazil seems to be most people's favourite, and most of the English people and media are expecting England to win. I don't think they will.\nGermany, being the host as well as a strong team, have a good chance if they beat Argentina. And Argentina have been showing great potential as well.\n\nSo at this point I could see four teams with potential: Argentina, Brazil, Germany and France. The latter had a very slow start in the tournament and some poor performances in the group stage, but their defeat of Spain has demonstrated that the Old Guard is still a force to be reckoned with.

Argentina.  Lionel Messi is going to come alive on the 'world's stage.'  Brazil certainly stands a strong chance, as they have the most talented and skilled roster in the finals.  But Brazil, is also likely with all that talent to trip themselves up.  At least, I hope so.  Nothing against Brazil, they play beautiful soccer and are a joy to watch.  I just dont want another Brazil world cup championship.  Time to move it to Argentina for 4 years.  Germany, although the home side, I do not believe stands as good a chance as many people say.  Dont forget about the Czech's either.  But I must go with my boy Messi and Argentina.  Strong squad.  Defense and Offense...great ball control and a brand of soccer that translates well onto the world's stage.

Brazil to win the World Cup.\n\nContenders to their throne would be England, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Holland and look to the Czech Republic to do well.\n\nBest players will include Ronaldinho(Bra), Beckham(Eng), Henry(Fra) and Nedved(Cze).

Brazil won the World Cup in 1958 in Sweden.\n\nPersonally, I think Argentina has the best chance to beat them.\n\nI don't think any European team will beat them, but I'd go with either England, Holland, or Italy.

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.\n\nAny four of the above countries could play the semi final and win the world cup 2006.   \n\nIf Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.
