I hope Argentina would be the first to lose, but it will probably be Italy, what matters is that Brazil will win.

It won't be the French as they will be on strike again - GUARANTEED!\n\nThe ol' enemy Germany me thinks.\n\nIt won't be the USA as they play soccer and we play football.\n\nMaybe Brazil.

Brazil, Germany, or Argentina.  Maybe Spain or Portugal too.\n\nEngland seems to always choke, eventhough they are so talented.  Sven needs to go.\n\nFrance has enough talent but they can't seem to get their attack going.

The obvious choice is Brazil.  No other team has that amount of firepower.  They did nothing in qualifying to suggest they have any real weaknesses.  They won in 2002 with half of the talent they have now.\nHowever, expectations are hard to overcome.  Which suggests to me the possibility of a fluke loss somewhere in the elimination rounds...perhaps to Italy in the round of 16 or Argentina, Netherlands or England in the semis.  Yet these three latter teams are too inexperienced.  Only Italy has the defense to take them into penalties.  Thus, Italy beats the favorites in the round of 16, and goes on to win the World Cup with stingy defense and a lot of luck and boring draws.\nItaly's Buffon wins best player after making vital penalty saves.

I would also say Brazil, but England looks pretty good also. Just as long as Germany doesn't win, they have so bombed this year, but we will see. Anything can happen. I do know that this year will be very exciting and I will be routing for US and 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.

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

I'd have to say Brazil and Germany have the best chance. Argentina will be tough.
