Argentina! With Crespo and hoefully Messi they should do very well.

Yes they can. They have a very solid team with the likes of Viduka, Bresciano, and Grella just to name a few. They are fundamentally sound with players that play all over Europe. Brazil will obviously be their toughest game, but they can definitely beat Croatia and Japan. They can definitely make a good run, but in the end I don't think they have enough to win the World Cup.

Please God, I hope Argentina fail to advance!\n\nIt will not happen, they are far to strong and good for that, in fact their are more likely to win the 2006 World Cup, but been an Englishman I am bitter...;-)

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.

Maybe a 1/8 chance, they will surrently make it out of Group E with the terrible U.S. They have one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Gigi Buffon and have a lot of talented strikers like Totti, Toni, and Del Piero. Good defense with Cannavaro, Nesta and Zaccardo but this team is pretty much even with others in Europe so it comes down to heart.

No, I dont think they are solid enough at the back, any good team such as argentina will open up their defence with ease, also they're not playing like the Brazil we know and they keep playing under-performers like Ronaldo. they wont win it this year

I want Argentina to win this year. So far they are at the top of the score board, and new players such as ZABALETA Pablo, and MESSI Lionel are going to bring some fierce competition to the cup. Aside from that, there are also some very interesting  new countries that have qualified in the world cup, so there might be a lot of surprizes.

Can they win?  Yes, they can.  (31 other teams can also say that, though in reality maybe 8 have any reasonable chance).\n\nDo they have what it takes?  you need to look at them back to front.  They have an adequate keeper in van der Saar.  They have some good young defenders, and as I recall at least one or two good veterans.  their midfield should be very good, with Davids, seerdorf, Van der Vaart, Robben, and the like.  And up front, they have at least 3 world class strikers (Ruud for one, and I temporarily forget the other guy).\n\nAnd the coach has been there, and can relate to players - something that can never be underestimated.\n\nNow their group has Serbia, Argentina and Ivory Coast.  Should they make it out of the group - yes.\n\nBrazil is in the opposite set of groups for at least until the semi-finals, so they won't run into them until then.\n\nWith the exception of Germany, they should have among the highest percentages of 'home fans', so the crowd should be behind them.\n\nCut loose any surprises, and you are left with Holland, Portugal, Spain, Czech Rep., Italy, England, Germany and Brazil as the 'favorites'.  Others who could sneak into there would be the US, Argentina or the Ukraine.\n\nBeing that the matches are in Europe, the South American teams likely will not get the bounce they enjoy nearly anywhere else (in all the 'cups', only Brazil has ever won in Europe).\n\nFigure Spain and Portugal to have some kind of minor collapse (sorry, but it just happens too often not the expect it to magically not happen again), and the numbers whittle down.\n\nEngland have a strong group, but will their stars perform and play together?  With Sven on the way out, I'm thinking they may go a ways, but not to the last.\n\nSo really, I think Brazil, Germany, Italy and Holland will be in the mix for the big prize.  Brazil will have to deal with the foreign soil aspect, and that could go either way (look at France 98).  Home court is a huge advantave, and I expect Germany will make the semi's at least.  Italy will always be tough, but, if they can't score, they can't win.\n\nAnd Holland, traditionally, can score.\n\nWould I pick them in a pool to win it all.  Probably not.  But, can they do it, yes.  I would say they have a decent chance at it, perhaps not as strong a favorite as Germany or Brazil, but definitely they will be in the mix.  It will all depend on their ability to deal with physical teams as they play their fluid passing games.\n\nA couple good bounces, and they could be in the final.  And if its oppsite germany, that could be a very interesting game.  Though, I'd rather see Holland play Brazil, as the flair and passing would cause my TV to melt!\n\n(go yanks!!)

Germany really is that good, but Argentina will win (provided the ref calls a fair game).  This is the type of match up you want to see for the final because it's the two most explosive teams in the tournament.  With ten goals in four matches, both squads lead in this count with Brazil.  In goals against, both have two from teams no longer in the tournament.\n\nIn team attack, Argentina is ranked #1 and Germany is #3 (Brazil is #2).  Four of the five top scorers (still in the tournament) are German or Argentine: Klose is #1, Crespo is #2, Podolski is #4 and Rodríguez #5.  However, only Argentina has three more scorers in the top 20 (of teams still remaining): Saviola #13, Messi #17 and Tevez #18.\n\nAesthetically, Argentina's goals are the most pleasing thus far.  While aesthetics don't help in predicting who will win, they do indicate the level of creativity and talent.  Four of the five goals of the tournament are Argentine: Maxi Rodriguez's goal in match against Mexico, and Cambiasso's, Tevez's and Rodriguez's (minute 5) goals in match against Serbia & Montenegro.  By contrast, Frings and Lahm's monster cannon shots during the match against Costa Rica rank # 6 and # 7, respectively.  So, where Argentina excels in artistry, improvisation and superb personal skill, the Germans answer with power and presicion.\n\nSo much offence has kept the ball away from their opponents, thus their defences are relatively untested.  In team defence, Germany is #6 and Argentina #7 (of teams still in the tournament).  In four matches, Abbondanzieri only has 9 saves, and Lehmanns only 6 (compared to Kingson's 22).\n\nThey both play fairly clean, although they both can play tough (dirty) if provoked.  During the tournament, Argentina has committed 69 fouls and Germany 66 (compared to Ghana's 100).  Argentina has 8 yellow cards to Germany's 5 (compared to Ghana's 18), and neither have suffered a red card.  This is where the ref can make a huge difference: should the match become ugly, it would be much easier for the ref to walk out of the stadium in one piece if he calls the game in Germany's favor.  The worst outcome would be an invented penalty late in the game, like the one Argentina suffered against Germany during the 1990 final....\n\nGermany has the two most prolific scorers, but Argentina has the most creative squad, with a bench that would unquestionably be starters for any other country's team.  Germany cannot outwit Argentina. Germany will win the match only if they can muscle Riquelme out of the midfield.  By contrast, Argentina will win if they figure out how to plug the firing lanes and keep the German Ubercannons from taking shots at Abbondanzieri's net.  In a match of brains over brawn, I pick Argentina to win, so long as the ref is fair.
