Ukraine will surprise everyone by making it to at least the QF.\n\nItaly will surprise everyone by NOT making it out of their group.

I say either Mexico or the Czech Republic. For sure will be a country that has never won before.

I hope it will be Brazil or Argentina. I hope it´s not Germany, although  I am German, because they are too selfish.

Germany or Brazil. But I think mostly Brazil Their team is so Great this year. Better than in 2002.

It is hard to distinguish surprising. Last time Turkey and Korea in the Semi's was surprising, but so was Senegal out of the first round. So I'll give you a "few" surprising for both. Look for Austrailia to get out of the first round. Their coach, Guus Hiddink has never finished less than 4th in World Cup, he's lead Holland and Korea to that distinguished mark. Do not think he'll make another run to 4th place but look for him to get them to the 2nd round. England is coming off a bumpy campaign to get to the World Cup, but they are highly motavated now and their team is starting to gel. Also their young talent is ridiculous with Gerrard and Lampard, two Euro Player of the Year finalists last year, and Rooney best striker in the world under 21, as well as the "old" talent of Owen and Beckam look for this team to do well this time and even better in 2010. Both these teams also benefit from weak groups. Usual suspects include of course Germany, Brazil, Holland, Portugal, Italy. Look for Italy to dissapoint however. They have the strongest group in the tournament and Totti has been hurt. The Czechs will look to justify their no. 2 ranking in the world within that same group. They also want to make up for their shortcomings in Euro 04. The US in the same group will advance also due to the fact that no one takes us seriously, it is to their own peril.

The best one ;)\n\nNo, really... I think we are in for a surprise this year. If you watch how the sport has been going the past few years - the traditional big teams are all looking shaky - Italy, France, England, Germany... OK, maybe Brasil isn't. But if you look at who's working really hard, and whose heart is really in it - my money is on Switzerland. But don't forget that Germany wants / needs a win badly, the team is young, and they have home team advantage - which will all be worth a lot. At the end of the day, I think it's down to emotion and heart and guts - the best "technical" team in the world may not win it all.

Spain, Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Mexico, France, one or two of the small countries that will surprise the world

Germany and Mexico\n\nGermany because the strong slocal support and Mexico is the big surprise of the tournament

Of course they will.  Sure it's a tough group, but they have a good team and I think they are really gonna surprise everyone.  Italy and the Czech Republic will be tough, but they can handle it.

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.
