I hope Italy naturally but...I would like to see an African team to reach at least the finals. I like the way Africans play football

As much as I love my country, I know Mexico is not going to be the champion. But I find as my favourites Czech Republic, Brazil, Netherlands, Germany and Italy.

Czech Republic with the return of the best player in the world, in my opinion, Pavel Nedved, will guiide them to the victory way, with other great players like Poborsky, Koller, Smicer and Baros.

Brazil  is the logical favourite, because they seem invencibles, with greats such as Ronaldinho, Kaká, Adriano and a thousand more.

Netherlands, I think is their final chance, they got to take advantage of the great players they have like Van Nistelrooy, Robben, Van Bommel and Van Der Vaart.

Germany because they´re in their home, and they have Ballack, Deissler, Frings and Klose. 

And finally Italy, with one of my favourite players in the world like Del Piero, Zambrotta, Nesta, Gilardino, Totti, Cassanno, and many more.

That´s what I think. I really love soccer.

South America: Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Ecuador. (4)

North-Central America: USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Trinidad-Tobago. (4)

Africa: Angola, Togo, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Tunisia. (5)

Asia: Japan, South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia. (4)

Oceania: Australia. (1)

Heres the one's that i think are suprising to see in the world cup, and yes considering Frances recent tonament history (not couning the fluky England match) they are a suprise to be in there, and thats not the African entry I would have expected.

Fluky !
France wons World Cup 1998, Euro 2000 and played semi-final in English Euro 1996, so let's be serious, i think the worst team in recent tournaments is Spain.

My favourites for 2006 are :
1) Brazil
2) England
3) France

Yes but lets be serious, the only thing France did right in that match was 2 spot kicks in the 89th and 92nd minute.

I was joking, you're right, but don't forget the penalty stop ! 
But i really think Spain is the weakest link in tournaments !

I am very sad Greece is out...

I would say Brazil, though Spain IMO always has one of the best players but their team seems to underachieve... Germany nope, England maybe and I expect many things from beloved Argentina...
