Germany has a rising star in Lukas Podolski. However, I'll pick the underdog Costa Ricans to score first.  I predict Ronald Gomez who has a left foot canon to score off a set play.

Luiz Ronaldo!!! He has 12 now.. 3 more will take him past Gerd Muller's record of 14.

If you're asking me to put together a list of the 11 I would put on the field  to make the best team ever it would go something like this, at least concerning people who played in world cups.... (in a 4-4-2)\nGK-Gordon Banks (best save in W.C. history)\nDF- Bobby Moore, Paolo Maldini, Cafu, Beckenbauer\nMF- Diego Armando Maradona, Michael Platini, Zico, Johan Cryuff\nFW- Pele, Ronaldo\nDebate any of these with me, I promise you they would be the choice of most people who know football (I know it's annoying that I have 2 Brazilians playing up front, but really, can anyone debate that with me?  Pele was a more inventine and creative player than Gerd Muller and Ronaldo might be the best W.C. tournament player ever, or at least he is right up there with Maradona!

no, Portugal will start the England game with the full 11 players.\n\nthe two players who got red cards, however, cannot play vs. England.  they would be eligible to play in Portugal's next match if Portugal advances.\n\na red card removes a player from the current game and suspends that player for the next game.

Kezman Will definitely start but i beleive that savo milosevic will accompany him because of his experience but that all depends on his form leading up to the cup.

i think klose\n\nballack is coming out of injury, it will take him time to get back into the game...

So far no one. This is because they are learning teamwork from their new coach. But we should keep our eyes on micheal essien and others i forgot.

England are plating agaist Equador at 4:00pm English time.\n\nThe team may be a 4-5-1 with\n\nPaul Robinson (goal Keeper)\n\nAshley cole\nJohn Terry\nRio Ferdinand\nOwen Hargreaves (defenders)\n\nJoe Cole\nSteven Gerrard\nMichael Carrick\nFrank Lampard\nDavid Beckham (midfielders)\n\nWayne Rooney (strikers)\n\nThis will be the most likely route for Eriksson, as michael Owen got injured in the last game.\n\nEquador are a good side, they must be, they got through to the group stages, didn't they!!!!!!\n\nCOME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judging from last night's performance, I'm afraid Holland's not gonna make it past Portugal. Here's my pick:\n\nGermany (vs Sweden), England (vs Ecuador), Portugal (vs Holland), Argentina (vs Mexico), Brazil, Czech Rep., South Korea and Spain.

England will face either Portugal or Netherlands. They are a lot better than England. Without the help of God's helping hand ( like Maradona's) I don't think England can win.

Well, Klose already has 2 goals, and traditionally the "winner" of the best boot shoots approx. 8 goals.  He certainly has a good leap on the competition.  I personally also like Ronadihno and as a longshot Van Niselrooy.\n\nMichael Owen looked terrible yesterday (along with the entire English squad) and all want Rooney.  Ronaldo needs to lose 5 kg and risks being substituted for lack of conditioning.\n\nIt looks as though Lehmann will miss the game against Poland, and very possibly Kahn could make the leap into the starting position.

a surprise choice maybe...I'd pick Henry. I might have said Ronaldo, but it is likely he will be substituted for at 65-70' in every match so he won't be injured (and to maintain his vulnerable good form) and therefore, he will get less playing time in all likelihood. Also, Brazil has many more options this time around with Kaka and Adriano as prominent goalscorers so Brazil's goalscoring does not have to depend on him as much (coach Carlos has already said he will start these players). As for why Henry will score, it's because recently, if you've followed closely, Cisse has been ruled out with injury. This player was France's goalscorer alongside Henry. Henry will now have to be much more aggressive and will get much more chances on goal.\nTo tell you the truth, though, I do not believe the top scorer of the Cup will be either Henry or Ronaldo, because they are too known and will be marked every single game. Watch for a Dutch player...Robben, Van Persie, van Nistelrooy??? In the recent game, Robben was excellent. Or watch for Klose. He is in inspired form. In all likelihood, it could be a surprise, but I say a Dutch or a German player, because these teams are likely to go to further in the tournament and have more games to be topscorers. While it is true France and Brazil could and in all likelihood go far too ( i pick Brazil to win...), there are circumstances, which I feel warrant attention to these other excellent players. Remember that strikers are a dime a dozen and in a World Cup tournament, top scorer means 6 or 7 goals a lot of the time, so if Klose already has two, he looks a very good and likely recipient of the top scorer  honor.
