I think Germany is going to take it...they have home advantage and an awesome team. I would like to see the US show the world we can play though.

ehh the germans are too young to win it. yes they are playing at home but i dont think thats going to be enough. aren't their injury questions over ballack too?

JOIN THE SOCCER CULT. England for sure, they have too, it sbeen forty years. They have one of the best teams ever, and if Rooney is able to come back, they are set. For everyone who said Germany, i dont know there are reports that Ballack pulled his hamstring and he is pretty much their whole team. I think ivory coast will be the big story with Drogba owning everybody.

I predict Brazil wins the final against Chezch Republic. But im rooting for Ukraine, who I hope wil do well as expected. Shevchenko is a DEADLY striker.

Ballack has some problems with his calf. It's doubtfull that he can play on friday, but he'll be back for the next games. And Germany is going to win the cup

however, i have a feeling Didier Drogba will have the best games of his career and we may see Ivory Coast having a breakout year. ENGLAND all the way. Join the soccer cult

its so hard to make it to the world cup. 190 teams wittled down to 32. im hoping the US at least makes it out of their group but i dont know. four years ago was amazingly exciting. world cup is an amazing even, i cant wait.

Brazil definetly. i agree with you guys about ivory coast. Drogba is good and two of their defenders play for arsenal.

doesnt make a difference, France is still better than the US. Ribery + Henry is the duo to watch, with Trezeguet supporting them. I'm hoping France makes it pretty far. But it's gonna be between Brazil, Germany, England, Argentina, Portugal(Figo), Spain, and hopefully an african nation.

^Ballack dominates, fit or unfit haha, why Chelsea bought him I don't know

Well, I'd love to rate Australia's chances of getting to the finals, but unfortunately we've got Brazil, Argentina and Japan in our group

Ecuador just showed poland how to pass the ball the right way, and Germany got by Costa Rica, I am saying for the final its going to be Brazil taking it, they are just to strong to go down. Who I WANT to win is either England, Argentina, or a really long shot probably never going to happen due to todays match Costa Rica

Ronaldo is flat out dirty

Ronaldinho is a nasty striker

Roberto Carlos is one of the best defenders in the world

Kaka plays better midfield than anyone.

I really want to see the US take it, but I want to see Brazil too

That was awesome. I was cheering Ecuador the whole way. Poland hit the bar TWICE in the second half! Mind you Ecuador put a ball over the top from 15 feet out...Poland stumbles.

England v. Paraguay tomorrow morning. IM pumped, and im pulling for the ivory coast tomorrow because drogba is my favorite football player. He is unbeliveable. I was pumped for ecuador todya, but i think poland will bounce back, they came out sluggish and had to missed oppurtunities at he end, but ecuador played betteer today. Germany is great, but and injury to their goalie lehmann could bring em down, because Kahn wasnt expecting to play. Other teams im pulling for are the US, Croatia, Ecuador, France, Mexico, Argentina and Spain. I Love the world cup.

no one will touch brazil, they have three of the best forwards in the game in ronaldhino, ronaldo, and adriano, kaka is fuckin amazing, theres no reason they shouldnt win.

germany looked really good today, the us may surprise people, i like the ivory coast too cause they have uber sick jerseys with elephants on them, but i think england may have the most legit shot at taking out brazil especially with rooney playing now.
