Anyone doing their LLM in Germany - the atmosphere ill be electric!

My hope is ITALY. My dream is AUSTRALIA.

Brazil again....cant cheer for India here :-(

I guess...maybe England or Italia...since the venue is Europe this time...more chance is with a European team, as shown in the past...Ausralia may get in the semi-final only if Guus Hiddink continues to lead the team...

Though it may not be a proper thread to post here, I think it is meaningful to have this kind of rest since this board is open to people around the world and no doubt the World Cup is another global event!!!

Since I am not in charge anymore, definitely not the Germans :-)

The Dutch have the best team this year. Oranje boven!

I would say Brazil, but we have been in the finals since 1994 (3 times in a row). What are the odds for a 4th time? Slim... Anyway, it is Brazil or Germany, I think.

i will bet my hat on Brazil!!!!

my support's with Germany tho i kno tht its not ther best team and Brazil seems like a favourite again..!!

Thanks for the support, astroturf! I hope so, too, but have to admit, that the German team did not do too well in the last matches.

However, Klinsmann (the coach) and Bierhoff (the team manager) were both great footballers and know how to guide the team. The players in the current team are very young and motivated - so maybe they will beat the expectations!

Brasil off course :)

I know one thing. It wont be Scotland :( I hope that Costa Rica will do well. I think a Europe team will win it this year, but in these big tournaments nothing is ever certain - except that my home country not winning, because they haven't qualified.

Cmon Costa Rica!

;-)

Brazil has the best players(at least 6 are outstanding) and England holds the best team.I bet Brazilllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Without any doubt Brazil.

World Cup Champion should not be monopolized!

Portugal is a strong bet (I am portuguese...).

Strongest bet: Brazil. They just can't stop having the best players in the World!!

GERMANY

Because:

1. They have a culture of winning (visit the pages of history in football)

2. They are the host nation

3. They have a good TOURNAMENT TEAM

4. Mr. Ballack is in top form (he is is the highest scorer among elite central midfielders)

Germany definetely is strong, not much out of its team , but the country will host the competition.Besides,the soccer buzz need a european champion to boost it.

Anyways, I cheer to Brazil!

E N G L A N D ! ! !

WITHOUT A DOUBT ;)

whos this Brazil team anyway? :P

Definitely Czechs :-)

As far as I'm aware, Senegal are not qualified for this year's tournament, right? So France defrinitely has a chance to win!
Will Zidane do it again against the Brits?

Totti will win alone
