Angola, Ghnana, Toga, and Cote d'lvoire are all first timers.  They are all West African Nations.

Not this year. Brazil is an unstoppable power-house. They have the best team they've had in years- and that's saying a lot ! Germany may have a chance with home turf advantage, but I don't think its enough to pull through to a championship. I think this world cup is a start of a whole new dynasty of Brazilian domination.

I would expect whoever wins the Argentina-Germany game and Brazil in the final, although another side could slip in there.  So far, I dont think anyone has been eliminated unfairly and would have advanced to the final.  Certianly, the Australians got jipped.  And theres the goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIQUELME TO AYALA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, as I was saying, the Australians got jipped, but I wouldnt have expected them to win the cup, or even reach the final.  So, hopefully Argentina-Brazil will be the final.  That would really be a great game, two South American sides up against eachother, I dont think thats happened in a long time.  GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 think germany is going to go far this world cup\ni don't like kuranyi that much \ni prefer ballack (of course), kahn, or the young forwards\nof course, kahn is getting old and ballack is probably moving to chelsea (DAMN!)

sigh well i believe that germany, brazil, england, france, italy, and korea all have a chance. Brazil has world class players and is probably the team i expect to win. However, Germany has home field advantage so they have an edge. France and Italy always finish very well (well except for france the last world cup...). England has a new and dangerous style of playing with the tall peter crouch and wawyne Rooney. Korea has got a sercret weapon, J.s. Park, which might break out and be amazing and win.

I think Germany will score two in a 2-0 win over Costa Rica in the opening game.\n\nIt is clear that the German team is not as strong as many others at this years world cup, however in having the home advantage and a few top quality stars they should be able to brush Costa Rica aside without too many problems!\n\nLucas Podolski, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Michael Ballack will all play a big part in any success the team can muster up this year - I think that Podolski and Ballack will be the goalscorers in the first game. However I cannot see the Germans getting further than the quarter-finals of the tournament!

Very unlikely, although many people still look at GermAny more for their awesome reputation rather than current playing ability.\n\nThis is more like the the Euro 92, which they hosted. Although they reached the final without actually playing well, they lost to Denmark. I expect something similar this year. Germany will reach the semis possibly, but will fall short of winning the trophy.

It's likely it is gonna be Brazil and Germany; Brazil and Argentine; Brazil and C. Republic; or Brazil and France.\n\nI bet (and hope!) the final match is one of these teams!

It is hard to predict a result. my favorite team is England and Germany. they have different strategy. So it's interesting to watch they play in final.

I grew up in France, but this is the year of the Germans. The cup is in Germany and the crowd is going to really boost their play.

No doubt brazil will be the hottest favourtie but don't forget about germany the host! They're strong once in the finals. Remember last world cup? They're mediocre in the qualifying rounds but fought to the final but lost 2-0 to brazil. Italy ain't bad also and watch out for argentina with lionel messi as their new engineer. These are the 4 potential winners, i believe.

before the 2006 FIFA World Cup began, ITALY was my prediction to the semi-finals as i predicted GERMANY & FRANCE or ARGENTINA to be in the final. their victory against GERMANY in the semi-final was really unexpected!!
