Well, i think the answer is obvious: Argentina!

Anyway, then teams included are only the ones who have won a world cup at least once.

Germany!

I don't really believe this myself - but soccer is one of the few few times that I get patriotic.

So go Germany!!!

Same here. But I also don't really care who wins, as long as there are decent matches to watch and as long as Brazil doesn't win. I have nothing against Brazil in general, I just don't like most of their players...

You left out the Togo on your list...any reason why????

Australia is not on there!! The socceroos?? come on!!

If you are betting you have to put your money on Brazil.

Look out for Mexico this year. They spanked Brasil in regular and barely lost to Germany, Arg.

Clearly, it must be France, if Henri plays.

Yeah Mexico just might sneak in. LOL

I am betting on it, as I do most major sporting events, but the odds on brazil make it not worth my time - I'm putting an each-way bet on Italy and the Netherlands, methinks

I'd love o see England win, but I don't think they will.

PWNED!!

Viva Mexico Cabrones!

We're talking about this game, right?

--
TV Announcer: The Continental Soccer Association is coming to Springfield!
It's all here--fast-kicking, low scoring, and ties? You bet!
Bart: Hey, Dad, how come you've never taken us to see a soccer game?
Homer: I...don't know.
TV Announcer: You'll see all your favorite soccer stars. Like Ariaga!
Ariaga II! Bariaga! Aruglia! And Pizzoza!
Homer: Oh, I never heard of those people.
TV Announcer: And they'll all be signing autographs!
Homer: Woo-hoo!
TV Announcer: This match will determine once and for all which nation is
the greatest on earth: Mexico or Portugal!

later at the game....

Homer: [shouting] Boring!
Krusty: Come on, you schnorers, do something!
Brockman: [calling plays from booth listlessly] Halfback passes
to the center. Back to the wing. Back to the center.
Center holds it. Holds it. [rolls eyes] Holds it...
Mexican Announcer: [excitedly] Halfback passes to center, back to wing, back
to center, center holds it! Holds it! Holds it!
Sideshow Mel: I can't bear this any longer, I'm leaving!
Moe: Yeah, not before me you ain't.
Flanders: Now, now, there's plenty of exits for everyone!
Moe: Oh, that's it, you're dead, pal! [puts Flanders into
a headlock]
Skinner: Hey, now, that's uncalled for.
Lenny: Shut your hole, Skinner!
Groundskeeper Willie: Ach! They call this a soccer riot? Come on, boys, let's take 'em to school!

My money is on England... they did not do too badly last world cup... we beat Argentina and made it to the semis... this was from a team not expected to make it past the first stage... GO ENGLAND GO... MOVE YOUR BLEEDING ARSES!!!

I would love to see England win it all but I'm not going to set myself up for a fall. They'll choke and that will be the end of it. GO FRANCE!

If Beckham and the boys can get their arses in gear then that cup is ours

Donna

Germany, of course... even though they lost the last practice game. But when it comes to competitions, Germany has always been a great player!

GO GO GO!!!

HA HA!!

As long as Brazil doesn't win?? Oh well.... I guess we've won too many times anyway.... maybe we should let others win! But actually, I don't think we're that nice!
And I love our players, for obvious reasons of course but mostly because they're very very nice and don't act like they're special, famous or anything (well, here in brazil at least).

I'm VERY VERY into soccer when Brazil is playing and during the Cup in general So I put all my money on Brazil. Our boys are known for losing a lot before the World Cup and then winning it. So I trust them!

Afe so mean with my country...

Well, 5 times champion, the only one 5 times champion, maybe this year we need to let some other countries win...

Ai ai... but maybe n the last second we can decide to be 6 times champion auhauhauaha

GOOOOOOOOOOOO BRAASIL GOOOOOOOOO

A gente é foda malandrooooooooooo

ah just joking....

uahauhauaha

5 times ahauhaa

BUT JUST KIDDING...

Starts with B and ends with rasil

If Ronaldinho plays like he did against Chelsea last week, I think a Brazil victory is pretty inevitable.

Australia and soccer? socceroos? In this regard, suckeroos would be more like it.

Yay Germany!

What is the german word for bull? + scheiss = ....

Yeah he went through 3 defenders and they did everything but hit him over the head with a pipe and he still put it in the net. First time I have seen him play. I liked the way he would flick it to the guy running behind him.

Well if England cannot make it then I will root for Brazil... after all I have a half-Brazilian nephew who goes by the name of Ishan Eduardo

AMERICA!!!!



ok stop laughing....



I'mma say England. Come on lads!

OK I stopped laughing.

The UK has to tighten up the defence and need someone to pair up with Rooney if Michael Owen has trouble getting ready from his foot injury.

I'm afraid I can't ... it is just too funny - the odds for the USA winning are 100 - 1

Brazil is the country considered most likely to win... with England in second place ... yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I root for Mexico! ajua! The Tri has shown that it can beat the best. It plays a steady fundamental ball.

My wife, although from Mexio, roots for Brazil. So, split household here. Brazil is my number 2. Argentina 3. Spain number 4. Italy 5. Germany should do well, beingthe home team and all. Hopefully it won't tripup in the early rounds.


Daniel

It's comin home, it's comin home, it's comin, football's coming home......ENGLAND!!!

I'm kinda sad that I'll be back in the states when the world cup is on!!! I love going to the pub with everyone I know, all crammed in, chanting and jumping around when we score (I won't miss having pints spilled all over my head though)......it's just not gonna be the same watching it with just my dad (although he does constantly shout at the tv )

Aside from England, its gotta be Brazil!! They are the only other team I don't mind winning!!!

Hell no to France, Germany and Argentina (those chopf**ks )

Not too many argentinians in VJ i guess.....

Eternal Master of the Ball


We saw him rise, we saw him fall
The eternal master of the ball
He went for goals, he showed his tricks
The greatest one of Eighty-Six


He dominated the ball for years
And his opponents stood there in tears
He made England cry, the Germans, too
And became a god in white and blue


Nobody would ever top him
Only drugs were the ones to stop him
But even after one year's break
The star returned, it ain't a fake


And played fantastic in Ninety-Four
which nobody ever could ignore
But now he faced his darkest days
when FIFA took him off the race


But let's remember his times of joy:
He once had been a poor-born boy
Who touched the sky and won and won
And brought his fans a lot of fun


Who left the others not a chance
on the field, when he started to dance.
Maradona, he's called like this,
The master and the player we miss !

Thank you for posting this

I'm with you there. English pubs are the best if you wanna have a great time watching footie. Ya right jumping screaming and lol lots of obscenities!!!!! Always so near yet so far-let's hope this time they make it. Do you remember the the Vindaloo song ? It's playing in my head lol


Shona

I wonder if I should even get excited.I don't even know if my country qualified. The good times when we played decent are gone, gone....

We shall prevail!!!

FORZA AZZURRI!!!

I will never forget how Maradonna cheated Argentina's way into winning the world cup... remember that little hand of god little brain of (cheating) Maradonna? Yuck... can't stand him

BRASIL !!!

I was just thinking the same thing...

Talking about the world cup, Germany has finally decided on their number 1 goalie; this time no gorilla...

Don't forget, the USA is taking part as well. They reached the quarter-finals 4 years ago

Now that would be sooooooooo great!!........not seen any England games for a while, how are they playing anyone know??..........but c'mon ENGLAND 1966 was a very long time ago

But i realy Love to watch Brasil play, true masters of the game!!

Bloody hell too late to EDIT
hahaha anyway here's the groups...............


http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com/06/en/w/group/index.html

me too....i still get a knot in my stomach when I see that bloke!

America did good last time....who knows??

ITALY OF COURSEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am afraid that the USA reached the quarters coz the other teams played badly

aww.......bless 'em tho.......

I do have to disagree, I'm afraid. The U.S. played fairly well throughout and even were the better team in the quarter final, but Germany got lucky and won. Last world cup, the "big" teams sucked and still won. Really depressing affair, let's hope that this time around the better teams win...

Maradonna sucks! But of course, I am brazilian and to brazilians Argentina´s soccer sucks!

Ronaldinho is the BEST!

ITALY RULES! FORZA AZZURRI!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I recall Ronaldo was not too well in the world cup match that France won - the one where my charming sis-in-law screamed kill him and then disappeared for 3 days

U.S.A & Argentina are gonna be in the final.
