Well:
Brazil (Ad Honorem) and Italy (I hope!!!).

So:
1- Argentina (60% with Maradona, 100% without him!!!);
2- England (Capello is... Dangerous!!!)
3- Germany-Spain (50%).

Even if The Real Winner, every time, is Blatter. Yeah, The Good Joe is not JUST a GOOD Person!!!

Three strongest teams are Brazil, Spain and England, IMO. I think the best chances of winning the WC has Brazil, but hey, that's football we're talking about, everything is possible!

Oh man the World Cup... lovely month!!! Image

Who’s gonna win? Anyone but Argentina!!! My favourite:

Brasil (with S please): no luck at the FIFA draw but I trust my guys.

Italy: no Totonero or Calciopoli this year but I respect them too much to leave them out of the list.

England: very good players and an excellent coach… Capello knows what to do.

Spain: IMO, the best players at the moment and they finally won something important (last Euro).

About Argentina… bad defenders and the coach sucks but I agree with Cyrus, on football everything is possible.

If your a betting man like myself, Italy are 12-1 got to be worth a few quid.
Can't ever rule Germany out always thereabouts.
Argentina are my bet, rubbish in qualifying but they've got a squad full of class, can't believe he's not taking Zanetti or Cambiasso.
Outside bet Ivory coast, have an each way bet, if they make it to the semi's you'll have a nice lump to collect.

4nik8, football has no mystery. It’s basically 20 guys running up and down the field, chasing a spherical ball for at least 90 minutes and 2 guys trying to prevent the other team from scoring a goal during this time. Sweeeeeeeeet and easy: only 17 rules.  :D

Maradona is the perfect example of how a bad coach can ruin a team. Zanetti and Cambiasso out and Milito on the bench.  ](*,) I love Maradona... Argentina winning this World Cup is my worst nightmare.

Any comments on the England - USA match!? Think that England played better, they were unlucky to receive that stupid goal (that will teach Capello not to call West Ham players, lol). The Americans weren't bad either, they are in no means underdogs in football any more.

I agree. It's gonna be interesting to see Capello's reaction to Green's mistake. I'm sure he'll blame it on the design of the ball or something similar.
