The obvious choice is Brazil.  No other team has that amount of firepower.  They did nothing in qualifying to suggest they have any real weaknesses.  They won in 2002 with half of the talent they have now.\nHowever, expectations are hard to overcome.  Which suggests to me the possibility of a fluke loss somewhere in the elimination rounds...perhaps to Italy in the round of 16 or Argentina, Netherlands or England in the semis.  Yet these three latter teams are too inexperienced.  Only Italy has the defense to take them into penalties.  Thus, Italy beats the favorites in the round of 16, and goes on to win the World Cup with stingy defense and a lot of luck and boring draws.\nItaly's Buffon wins best player after making vital penalty saves.

I think realistically, Brazil is probably the best team out there, but I'd sure like to see USA do well.  They have a really tough group though, and to get past the first round would be a major mental victory.

Brazil once again has one of the strongest squads, germany is dangerous this year mainly because it is in their home country but they are not the team they were in the previous cup, Spain once again has a strong team with young torres in the front line, and to surprise teams you might see this year are ghana with Essien and Australia with Hiddink managing the squad this year

Current top contenders are Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy. Holland could be the dark horse of the tournament.\n\nAny of the above country could win the world cup 2006.

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.

Picking a single team that would surely win the cup is very hard. But these ARE my picks that have a bigger chance of winning as this sport really sometimes create freak results.\nThe picks:\n1. Brazil: Possesses the most threatening attack, hands-down. Defense is highly improved.\n2. England: A well balanced team with every position filled with talents.\n3. France: Zinedine Zidane returning at the heart of midfield as with Claude Makelele rejuvenated this squad. Great attacking threat of Henry is crucial.\n4. Argentina: A team loaded with creative midfielders and attackers with a defensive line-up to be vey proud of.\n5. Germany: A team with a successful World Cup history. Although the team is not that threatening in terms of the line-ups with Ballack as the only one having a "superstar" status, their pride playing on their home soil could really step-up their performance.\n6. Italy: Defensively strong starting from the midfield and their cattenaccio style still works for them. They also have lots of great talents.\n\nSpecial Mention:\nPortugal and Netherlands: they have great potentials and could come out as dark horses

India cannot win the world cup so easily...they have to do something special for it...we saw India chased a good total like 280 against pakistan In pakistan...but in W.I they were not able to compile even 199 runs with their strong batting line up...we can see how India is perfoming overseas...so it would be difficult to say that India can win world cup atleast in West Indies...
