Reasons why Brazil wont win the World Cup this year?

Let's hit at Brazil's weaknesses.\n\nGoalkeeper: Dida used to be great, but this season he has had so many bad games and howlers. That could cost Brazil dearly.\n\nDefense: Brazil's defense is not anything special. Edmilson is good. But Lucio is okay, Roberto Carlos is horrible, Cicinho is young and he's had a bad couple of months. With 2 decent defenders, Brazil is weak on the wings. \n\nMidfield: No comment. Amazing. Emerson, Gilberto Silva, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Juninho, etc... That might be their strongest point.\n\nForwards: Ronaldo, Robinho, Baptista. The Real Madrid trio have been playing horribly for Real Madrid. They are so out of form right now because the team is doing so bad. It is hard to see any of them in top form for the World Cup. That just leaves Adriano who is ace. But his problems for Inter might spill over into the World Cup, but i doubt it. \n\nSo with the midfield, 2 defenders, and one forward in top shape, Brazil have not looked this vulnerable for years. While Brazil got weaker, all the other teams (England, Portugal, Netherlands, Italy) all got better.

No. For several reasons:\n\n1) In World Cup competition, France owns Brazil (knocked them out in the Final 8 phase in 1986, and whipped them good in the final in 1998).\n\n2) Law of Averages. Brazil is due to lose, and it will be under their nemesis France.\n\n3) Brazil is cocky and arrogant, starting with their coach, and teams like that at any given moment slip up. It is due to happen.\n\n4) Apart from Cafu, Brazil does not have veteran leadership who have been there, done it, and plan to do it again (Zidane, Barthez, Thuram, Makelele, Henri, Viera). They have something to prove. Brazil are poster boys, who play to show off a trophy and nothing else and think they are already it. They feel nothing to prove.\n\n5) France is consolidating and gaining momentum, and has been tested and overcame it. Brazil hasn't been tested despite looking bad against a young Ghana team that out played them (the only difference was the quality of forwards. If they had their own Ronaldo or a Droghba, or an Eto'o, it would be a different story).\n\nThat's my take on this, and the match will go into penalties, like 1986.

A very good chance of winning this world cup. Brazil are favourites but everyone said the 1950 team, the 1974 and the 1982 teams would walk it and they didnt. The fact is they can beat anyone on their day, but so can England. \n\nWe have a bloody great midfield, who can pass, battle, tackle, score from all areas, deliver the ball in and in Joe Cole a tricky little bugger. How many midfields would boast the number of goals that our starting (Cole, Lampard, Becks, Gerrard) 4 have this season. Then we now have pace in Walcott, Lennon and Owen which is always hard to defend against and when he is fit for the latter stages Rooney who is a genuine World Star. \n\nBack 4 is very competant and the keeper is very solid. \n\nSo why shouldnt we win it and why shouldnt we beat Brazil. We can do it. and will.

BRAZIL WHO ELSE LOOK BELOW AND FIND IT OUT HOW ?\n\nKnow something interesting about FIFA world cup \n\n \n\nBrazil won the world cup in 1994. Before that, he had won this title for the last time in 1970.\n\n \n\nIf you add up: 1970 + 1994 = 3964\n\n \n\nArgentina won the world cup for the last time in 1986. Before that only in 1978.\n\n \n\nAnd 1978 + 1986 = 3964\n\n \n\nGermany, though, won the world cup in 1990. Before that, Germany won in 1974.\n\n \n\nLook: 1990 + 1974 = 3964\n\n \n\nThis could lead us to guess the winner of the World Cup in 2002, since it should be the winner\n\nof the 1962 World Cup (In fact 3964 - 2002 = 1962).\n\n \n\nAnd Brazil won the world cup in 1962! (And, in fact, Brazil won the 2002 WC)\n\n \n\nThis numerology seems to work...\n\n \n\nAnd now, who would be the winner of the 2006 world cup?\n\n \n\nLet's see, 3964 - 2006 = 1958\n\n \n\nAnd who won in 1958?....\n\n \n\nOh, Brazil did!!!

Brazil will win the world cup this year... I will tell you why?\n\nBrazil won worldcup in 1970 and after that in 1994,\nso if you add up 1970+1994 =3964\n\nArgentina lifted the world cup trophy i 1978 and then 1986 too,\nand 1978+1986 = 3964\n\nGermany were winner of worldcup in 1974 and then 1990,\nSo, 1974 + 1990 = 3964\n\nThe winner of last world cup which was held in 2002 was Brazil and interestingly Brazil has won in 1962 and guess what, 2002 + 1962 = 3964..\n\nSo now if you want to guess the winner of this worldcup then\n3964-2006 = 1958\n\nand who won the world cup in 1958?\n\nits none other that BRAZIL.\n\nMy vote for Brazil....\n\nHurray!!!

Well,I don't know if they will win it. But they are\nthe clear favorites to win it.  The pressure is on\nBrazil.  Anything less than winning it will be considered\na failure for Brazil.  In contrast, any other team will\nconsider it a great success to finish in the top 4.\n\nIn my mind there are about 10 teams who can win the\nWorld cup, and Brazil tops the list.  (And yes the U.S.\nis one of those 10 teams.)

Brazil are the best team in the world at the moment.\nThey are also favourites to win the World Cup this summer, but I always say to expect the unexpected!

Brazil is because there are so many good players and many young players they have recruited. They play soccer like everyday. Brazil won the last world cup.

They don't like war countries. Brazil will definitely win the world cup.

Brazil is currently the #1 team in the world according to world rankings and is stacked with world-class players such as Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Robinho, and Ronaldinho. \nPele has admitted he is worried about his country's tag as favourites for Germany 2006, citing the threat of England and Italy and warning that the the FIFA World Cup™ is "a box of surprises"\nThey still have the best shot at the World Cup in my opinion.

Brazil is too strong, this is probably the strongest team Brazil has fielded in a long time, I don't see any weaknesses.  Kaka, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, and Adriano are just too much for defences to handle!  However whenever Brazil is the favourite they always find a way to beat themselves, they did so in 1982, 1998, and 1950.\n\nIf Brazil doesn't win it, then look for the Netherlands to take it, they are overdue to win a world cup and have a very solid team. I would like to see a team from Africa win, but I don't think that will happen this time, maybe in 2010.

The answer to this question is simple.  Brazil has all of the elements to win the world cup once again this year.  Their depth is their biggest asset.  That and they have the best player in the world with ronaldinho.  Their supurb play in qualifing only proved, once again that they are the class of the field.  I think England could make a push as well as Germany playing on home soil.  And for all of you americans out there we will be hard pressed to make it past Brazil in the second round.  Sorry!

Brazil (or no American team, for that mater) has NEVER won the world cup on European soil, NEVER EVER!!!\n\nSo I have to say that they will not win the WC2006, eventhough they are PRESENTLY the best team (on paper) in the world, but in single elimination rounds the best team doesn't always WIN!!!!

BRAZIL has won with this last 2002 world cup, 5 times.

5. Because they were not bad, even though by Brazilian standards they were very bad. In the earlier stages of the world cup it was hard to tell whether or not they were giving their best in every game, because all they needed was wins by the narrowest of margins to breeze by, and at the end of the world cup everything gets tougher. Luck was not on Brazil's side though. Having said that, luck is not the main factor if the team has no steam to start with, which is what happened to Brazil. A team packed with superstars could not work together. Something was seriously lacking in the team, not sure what. But look at what happened to us against France in '98.

pre-world cup performance does not guarantee a world cup win. we can take the example of 2002 Japan Korea world cup, where Brazil struggled to qualify to become one of 32 nations to play the tournament. France and Argentina were the top contenders to win the cup, but they were eliminated in the first round. and what South Korea did? they played in the semi-final!\n\nwell, temperament will be the name of the game as soon as the world cup begins. tradition will come second.only 5 countries lifted the world cup for 15 times out of 17 tournaments.  \n\nin my opinion, top contenders of this Germany 2006 are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.
