[Kirill]

Some scientist has calculated that it will be Germany. Will probably lose all faith in science if this does not happen

[alibabes]

[Robsondinho]

Brasil, Spain, Holland - if i wanted to bet

Argentina, Korea, Germany, Italy - if i fancied a bigger gamble

USA - outsiders

England, Portugal, France - FLOPS

[bushcelt1]

england to struggle-spain or argies

[hermitage10]

no idea y people r high on argentina. they hav been shockin in qualifiers and ever since maradona took over. he doesnt use messi to his full ability cos maradona's own ego is so big he doesnt want people to love messi more than him. he cant decide on a defence to save his life

spain to win, brazil to do well as usual. germany shud do well as they also seem to in big tournaments

Spain and England have the 'easier' routes to the final.

Argentina have a good team on paper, but don't play well together...............sounds familiar.

Brazil cannot be ruled out.

The Krauts play well as a team.

The Dutch will be a good bet.

The rest are poop.

I'd agree with that Dave. I'd also keep an eye on Ivory Coast. They're big, Strong, athletic, adaptable to the heat and they clearly have goals with Drogba.

Also, Italy have to have a mention. They have a very easy group in which I'd imagine they'll score pleny. This will give them confidence going into the knockouts.

I expect a few surprises this year.

[Mutley]

Cant see past Brazil myself.

I have a strange feeling the germans will again have a team better than the individual players would suggest....

I think they will come good. Spain, Brazil and Argentina have, by far, the best players though.

We have, by far, the best manager though..... imho.
