No doubt Cafu looks past his best now ... and Cicinho looks great ...

but for sentimental reasons I would like to see him there (and win ) ... it will only further support my case when I ask for another footballer with a more impressive trophy case ... some Cafu highlights for you ...

With Ronaldinho and Adriano Brazil is the bigger favorite!

But Netherlands and Czech Republic are very strong too.

Well, this is a difficult choice, but I'm guessing my country will peak (finally).
An final against Brazil would be the most logical choice, and I can't hardly believe that we will beat them. When you've got a player like Ronaldinho in your team, your almost sure of the Cup.
 
But again: I'm voting for The Netherlands. We MUST reach the final, at least.

Its interesting to note that England are second favourite here on PA (behinde the obvious leaders Brazil) with Italy third. I cant wait to see if any of our predictions/hopes were right.

Brazil's preference surprises me too, since there are only 5-6 Brazilian visitors constantly here in PA.Tongue
Normally those whose national teams are not involved support Brazil and when their teams are eliminated people tend also to support Brazil.
In 2002, I saw in the TV something that left my eyes damp... Palestine and Israeli children together cheering for Brazil. It was much more valuable than the title itself. Clap
 
BTW, I'm afraid we'll lose... our team whenever favorite has always lost (see 1950, 1966, 1982, 1998) and when no one believes us we got the trophy (see 1958, 1962, 1994, 2002). In 1970, the story was different: there were at least 6 favorites, Brazil included, because the equilibrium was great with some incredible teams - that's why Mexico 1970 is probably the best Cup ever.

Its also worth noteing that Brazil and England are the only two members of the "old guard" that have really strong teams consistently (or at least when England can be bothered).
 
However Flossy (King Of Loss) makes a good point that Brazils European compatition record is lousy.

Yes, sleeper, Brazil and England have presently the most consistent teams... but it does not mean that they will win or even reach the finals. The World Cup isn't really a championship but a knock-out tournament: a bad day, a tie with penalty kicks, a referee error, an injuried important player, etc, may cause the elimination of a favorite. For some strange reason I have the impression that a "new" champion may appear: Netherlands, Czech, Spain...
 
About the Brazilian record in Europe, statistics and history tell a different tale:
- Brazil is the only non-European to win in Europe (1958). No European ever won outside Europe.
- Brazil was the first South American to reach the semis in Europe (1938).
- Brazil was also 4th, in 1974 and runner-up, in 1998.
- No European has such a record in South America.
 
Playing against the Germans in Germany, Brazil won twice more! And if you remember last year, we won the Confederation Cup (played in Germany, again), defeating Germany and Argentina. Smile

Being from the US i would love to see them win but let's face they won't.  We can't compete with Europe at least not until we get our heads out of our butts and start liking a truely world wide sport and not baseball or american football. that's why i voted England but i wouldn't be surprised to Germany or the Netherlands win.
BUH!!! It's what the Buffalo say!
