Germany and Argentina have both been great forces in the World Cup.\n\nGermany gets the edge having played 16 world cups and winning 3 in 1954, 1974, and 1990.\n\nArgentina has fared well but not as well as Germany, playing 14 world cups and winning in 1978 and 1986.\n\nAlso interesting, Germany has the edge in 2nd place showings as well with 4 to Argentina's 2.

Italy have been World Cup champions 3 times, in 1934 on home soil, in 1938 in France, and finally in 1982 in Spain, beating Germany 3-1 in the final.\n\nThey also famously lost the 1994 World Cup on penalty kicks to Brazil, with star striker Roberto Baggio ballooning one of the penalties.

Neither of the ones listed on the question. Los "Cariocas" with their "Jinga" won the 2002 World Cup. If you didn't get the hint plain and straight for you --->BRAZIL

Brazil holds the record with 5 World Cups to their belt.\nItaly, Germany, Argentina, follow with 3 World Cups each.\nThen England, Uruguay, France with 1 World Cup to their name.

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.\n\nAny of the above countries could win the world cup 2006.   \n\nIf Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.

The most likely candidates are Brazil and Germany. Brazil and the host nation have both won five world cups. In this case, the host nation Germany has won the World Cup three times.\n\nThese teams played in the finals last time. \n\nThey both are in good form as the favourites for the World Cup are:\n\n1. Brazil\n2. Argentina\n3. Germany\n4. England\n5. Italy\n\nIt is likely that the winner will come from these five teams.

My favourite Scottish side was the one that defeated England 1-0 via a John Robertson penalty at Wembley in 1981.\n\nHad the World Cup been held in 1981, Scotland would have made it very far. By the time 1982 came, the team was in the first stages of decline although they did again qualify in 1986, but was no longer a threat.\n\nPerhaps the 1978 team, among the favourites in Argentina was their strongest ever, but I was too young to remember. That team defeated Holland 3-2 in probably Scotland's finest game but the damage had been done in the earlier group games.

Very difficult: Ukraine and Spain are stronger teams. But the World Cup is a competition that often reserves surprises...

Ireland has been in the World Cup before.  I'm certain they will get there again.

SERBIA & MONTENEGRO !\nI mean just look at those players ! They were the only unbeaten team in the qualifications and they are going to prove that they have some serious quality by wining the World Cup !

In my opinion, Brazil will take the title of the World Cup for the sixth time. The next five strong teams to win the cup as dark horses could be Argentina, Germany, Portugal, Spain or even Italy for that matter. But, as of now its best to hold your breath and just watch the action because you never know the end.

The last time Scotland played England was in 1999, Scotland won 1-0.  If memory serves me correctly it was the last game played at the old Wembley stadium.

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could produce surprise in the tournament. However, if Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.\n\nAny of the above countries could win the world cup 2006.   \n\nScots has nothing to do in this world cup. they didn't qualify.

Spurs have won the Cup 8 times. At one time, this was the record, which has since been overtaken by Man Utd.\n\nTheir triumphs were in:\n\n1. 1901\n2. 1921\n3. 1961\n4. 1962\n5. 1967\n6. 1981\n7. 1982\n8. 1991

Anyone but Brazil or Germany.\n\nIt's boring to have the same teams winning over and over again.\n\nThat's why it's called the WORLD Cup, not the "Brazil-Germany-Argentina-Italy Cup"
