Is there a chance of Brazil winning the 2006 World Cup this year?

the biggest advantage that the brazilians have is not necessarily their experience(though they have alot). the only way brazil will win the WC will be on the feet of their younger players, players that either havent played a WC or have seen limited playing time. and having ronaldinho on your side doesnt hurt. the brazilians still have one key thing missing from their squad, a consistent keeper.

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.

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.

Its possible but brazil has never won in a european country before i believe. Also any team can defeat anyteam on any given day.

yes i think they really do have a chance winning the world cup. their doing well in group play and in the games their scoreing two to three goals, and they have the players to do it with ronaldo and luis figo last chance to win the world they can do it. But they need to continue the way they been playing.\n\np.s. i think figo is under rated

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.)

Pretty far, actually. According to FIFA, they are #2 in the world's rankings after Brazil. I'd say if they keep doing well, they've got a real chance for the cup.

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.

France and Argentina were the top favorites 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. for such reasons, only 5 countries lifted the world cup for 15 times out of 17 tournaments followed by 2 countries won one time each.\n\nin my opinion, top contenders of this Germany 2006 are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournamentand hence, should be watch out carefully. If Wayne Rooney becomes match fit to play, England should be considered as a top contender too.\n\nAny of the above top contenders could win the world cup 2006.

Sorry folks, but Brazil will win this year again making six cups.

I do hope they will lift the cup this year as well. But history makes me worried for the fact that most of the time when Brazil starts the tournament as hot a favorite, they end up in disarray.

YES,\nwith Dream Team like this,\nI don't think any team can beat them.\n\nBrazil for World Cup 2006\n\nRonaldo, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Adriano (Forward)\n\nEdmilson, Juninho Pernambucano, Emerson, Ze Roberto, Gilberto Silva, Kaka, Ricardinho (Midfield)\n\nCafu, Cicinho, Lucio, Roberto Carlos, Gilberto (Defender)\n\nDida (Goalkeeper)

Barring an amazing lift by another country, or a spectacular crash, Brazil should win again. Their team contains so many of the best players in the world, and they actaully have the ability to play as team, unlike certain club sides..*cough, cough* Real Madrid *cough cough*\nThier main weakness in the past (their defense) has improved significantly since the last World Cup, and despite some scares in their qualifiers, it seems hard to see anyone else who can touch their dominance
