Australia.\nGuus Hiddink has taken two teams to the last two semi-finals (Holland & Sth Korea).\nAlso most of the Australian players play in the Premiership, a very tough competition, or other tough European leagues such as Serie A, and some have big game experience in the form of Champions League final (Kewell - although he did break down), UEFA CUP (Schwarzer & Viduka) and FA Cup (Cahill & Kewell).\nI think Australia will be underestimated, but the last time they played Brazil (2001) they won 1-0!\nSquad is Schwarzer & Viduka (M'boro), Kalac (AC Milan), Neil & Emerton (Blackburn), Moor (Newcastle), Popovic (C' Palace), Chipperfield & Sterjovski (FC Basil), Cahill (Everton), Culina & Thompson (Eindhoven), Skoko (Wigan), Lazaridis (B'Ham City), Grella & Bresciano (Parma), Wilkshire (Bristol City), Kewell (Liverpool), Aloisi (Alaves) + a couple of youngsters from the A-League.\nI think they will come second, where they will meet Italy in the second round, and give them a run for it, but not quite be good enough for the Azzurri.....

Ghana.  Just kidding!!\nUm, Germany is a great choice b/c of last Cup's performance, and b/c they're hosting (home team advantage, national pride, etc...), but they've been criticized for having a week defense lately.\nSo, I would like to see either England or the Netherlands in the final with Brazil, just for a change..  Also, it's always nice to see (a different, non-German) Western European style v. South American style.

GERMANY!! woo woo!\n\nI love you, fellow Germany fan!  Even though I'm in the US but our team ain't got nothing on Ballack and Klose and the gang!  I missed the two shots by Klose, but Podowski really nailed the victory in the second half.  So much for your hullabaloo now, Ecuador!

I don't know. But Dirk Nowitzki is from Germany and he'll be the best player in the NBA finals

Middlesbrough performed another UEFA Cup miracle to come from three goals down on aggregate to Steaua Bucharest in their semi-final to reach the final in Eindhoven with a 4-2 victory.\n\nMark Viduka returned to partner Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in attack, while Brad Jones continued in goal in place of the injured Mark Schwarzer, as Boro looked to turn around a one-goal deficit from the first leg.\n\nHowever, Steaua had the first chance as first-leg goalscorer Nicolae Dica headed over from ten yards out at the near post following a third minute corner.\n\nSixteen minutes in Steaua made a crucial breakthrough as Jones spilled a long-range effort from Petre Marin and Dica was on hand to tuck home the rebound from eight yards.\n\nEight minutes later Steaua led 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate as centre-back Dorin Goian saw his initial header blocked following a corner, before he rammed in the rebound.\n\nBoro had to take off the injured Gareth Southgate soon after and his replacement, Massimo Maccarone, threw Steve McClaren's side a lifeline 12 minutes before the break by netting from Viduka's measured pass.\n\nViduka almost levelled on the night twice before the break, but was denied on both occasions by Steaua's Portuguese goalkeeper Carlos.\n\nTen minutes after the restart Boro threw on Yakubu for Andrew Taylor as they were forced to go for broke with three strikers.\n\nThat move paid off just past the hour mark, as Stewart Downing swung the ball in from the left and Viduka headed home over the stranded Carlos.\n\nNine minutes later it was game on at 3-2 on the night as Carlos could only parry Downing's low shot and Chris Riggott bundled in the rebound from close in.\n\nThe pressure was all on Steaua now and they cracked in the final minute of normal time as Maccarone was in the right place to head home a perfect far-post cross from the impressive Downing.\n\nThe Italian was the hero, as he had been against Basel, with the final whistle sparking celebrations all around the ground as Boro clinched a place in their first-ever European final on another astonishing night at The Riverside.

Neither!!! Germany have looked strong. Argentina has looked ok, and Spain & Portugal have looked decent. But my money is on Germany at this point.

I will go for Germany. France may need to buck up. As zidane the play maker had retired. Italy is a team which is not consistent. They had lost to France in the euro qualifying which doubt their world cup champion.

Netherlands! They have a valuable team this year. I want them to win the trophy.

I looks like there'll be no surprizes and it will be Brazil again. However, there're few promicing teams in Europe, and Germany was surprizing last time. My guess is that the final will be between Argentina and Brazil, but the last few world and european cups were FULL of surprizes.

BRASIL!!!, Germany, Czech, or Argentina. Probably Brasil VS Germany in the finals
