BRAZIL , HOLLAND, ITALY , ARGENTINA\n\nAlthough strongest on paper,  history is strongly against Brazil this time ...winner from non-european continents when played in europe is very rare..only ONCE , in 1958 ...also , back to back winners are rare too , again last one being 1958, 1962\n\nArgentina , England and Italy look likely winners along with dark horses Holland,Portugal and Serbia , except for the fact that Argentina, Holland and Serbia are in the same group for the first round \n\nArgentina is very balanced with crespo, tevez in attack,with an attacking midfield ..riquelme, messi, gonzalez , mascherano ..option of aimar ..defence - heinze, sorin, zanetti, samuel/militto..only prob. is the non-european voodoo\nHolland is really superb and young attacking side - ryan babel, maduro, huntelaar,  with a few seasoned pros like van der sar , robben , van nistelrooy ..just imagine ...coach van basten has afforded to drop roy makaay,seedorf !! all they need to to do is gel as a team\n\nsame goes for england - question mark is :need to gel as a team - surely, atleast the semis

I'd have to say Australia... a brilliant tactical switch in the first game to turn it around, and SOOOOO unlucky against Brazil, supposedly the best team in the world! (and no, I'm not Australian!)

Italy vs. Australia  and\nSwitzerland vs. Ukraine

Switerland vs France will be a sweet contest, as there seems to be a deep seeded desire from the Swiss to beat the French whenever the opportunity is presented to them. june 13th..\n\nEngland vs Sweden (june20), nice rivalry, as the English have't won against the Swedes in almost 30years of international.\n\nNetherlands vs Argentina (june21) - world cup history behind them, both have played each other in previous world cups, and have ended successful runs to the final for each other.\n\nKnock out round is when you will see the more true bad blood and the best buzz..  \n\nEngland potentially could face Germany in the first knockout round... that has too much history to speak of not to mention the football.\n\nthere is just too much buzz to speak about in one blog

In the first round it will be Serbia & Montenegro. But who can predict what will happen during the second round and the QF,SF. Some team might have a bad day and beat all the exsisting records....so lets keep our fingers crossed.

The most memorable game is the 1966 final between England and West Germany. It is not the English cling to the past, it was the climax of a great competition.\n\nIt start with the theft of the Jules Rimmet Trophy and a replica being made, then that was found by pickles the dog. There were lots of great matchs, Eusebio was amazing, then the hosts reached the final, went one down, came back to lead, the Germans equalised in stopage time sending the final to extra time for the first time ever. Then there was "that goal", and then Geoff Hurst scored the only ever world cup final hatrick.

Which ever team beats the other team.

ITALY vs. BRAZIL\nItaly wins in the final and it will be the best game that the World Cup has seen in a while, entertaining, exciting, with a lot of chances, and a close game.

My Trini's vs Sweden. Shaka Hislop was phenomenal. It was brilliant to watch. Go T&T!!

From a personal point of view it would be England versus Germany.  Germany would lead 1-0 until the 89th minute when England would score two late goals and win (just like Manchester United when they won the Champions League).\nIf you were talking purely for the spectacle and to see top notch football then I would have to say Brazil versus Argentina.\np.s. I've nothing against Germany, they are playing really well so far.  Much better than us (England) anyway!  Still, come on England!!
