Good topic (Y) yet only 7 teams outta 200+ have one the past 17 world cups? i would definetly put australia in the Figurants group, however, any team in teh Figurants can cause an upset Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462235-who-will-win-the-wc/page/2/#findComment-587522991 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 i'd put Brazil as the favourites and Czech Republic or Portugal as being the surprises. I don't think Germany has a winning team, they could reach the semi-finals though Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462235-who-will-win-the-wc/page/2/#findComment-587523000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powa Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I voted England of course. But I reckon Germany might steal it this year. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462235-who-will-win-the-wc/page/2/#findComment-587523463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinx_ Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 wheres the US? they are ranked #5 in the world and yet they are not on the vote. lol theres more chance of aliens landing then the usa coming close to winning Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462235-who-will-win-the-wc/page/2/#findComment-587523667 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lare2 Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) I say Brazil, for obvious reasons..:) But i would like to see Mexico and Portugal doing a great WC. I also think Brazil will win this wolrd cup (Y) wheres the US? they are ranked #5 in the world and yet they are not on the vote. Nice joke :p About the ranking, Don't 100% trust the ranking, specially when they list Argentina below Spain and Mexico C'mon dont count out spain.... i think mexico will surprise people... but for me... france or spain for the win, although id love australia to win it :) Mexico is going with a strong team, so i think also that they can give a surprise. Not enough to win the Cup, but certainly can end up in a good position Edited May 19, 2006 by Lare2 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462235-who-will-win-the-wc/page/2/#findComment-587523773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scirwode Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 (edited) As for me, I choose England as I believe they've got the best chance to win the World Cup this year, besides Brazil. They've got a good mix of youth and experience and they've got good players on the wings and in the middle. The defence too is good with Ferdinand, Neville, Campbell and Cole. The attack is a bit of a problem what with Rooney injured and Owen still not fully fit but I believe they'll be fine. I think this year could be England's year :yes: . Plus, if they replicate the form that beat Argentina in February, it should be no problem for them :D .

Powa Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 PSG22, That won't be the English defence, Campbell will be dropped for Terry and it will be him and Ferdinand. It has to be, they are his most consistent players in that position. One good game for Campbell shouldn't change anything.

bayrider Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm pulling for Germany to win. What better way to win than to win at home!? I'm hoping the US has some success because as we all know, if soccer becomes as big in the US as it is in the rest of the World, the caliber of athletes the US can potentially produce will be up to par with the best of the world! I also think Americans should be desensitized from that so-called sport they call baseball. I'd love to go to a soccer match in Canada or the US that had the same atmosphere as a EPL, Bundesliga, Serie A etc match with 40-50,000 fans!

machorro Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Brazil is probably the safe bet but anything can happen. yea that would be the safe bet, the thing is anything can happen! players get injured or loose condition, or the ones injured don't get in shape in time, so many variables, that's what makes the WC exiting and stressfull as the good old saying goes "the ball is round" ;), well its spheric but you know what I mean :p anyway, my votes goes to Italy Forza Azurri :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462235-who-will-win-the-wc/page/2/#findComment-587535153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungarian Salami Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Brasil won't win this time. Nah, with these defenders. Ruque Junior and Juan are in poor form. I thought that Pereira will choose defenders from their domestic league. Adriano is in poor form...as well as Ronaldo. Germany never had so poor national team in their history! Klose and Ballack are their strongest players...the rest are figurants. Don't you see how weak is their domestic league? England as always will step on the wrong foot somewhere in the tournament...but they have strong team. I voted for Italy. I am thinking they are the hiden favorite. Luca Toni will show his potential.

sundayx Veteran Posted May 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2006 many people are saying brazil wont win it, but as i look down the squad list, it just seems impossible. hten again the squad is like real madrid and they arent doing well Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/462235-who-will-win-the-wc/page/2/#findComment-587539159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3thal Veteran Posted May 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted May 24, 2006 Personally, I don't see Brazil winning this cup. Who are my choices? None, really. It comes down to who is in better shape and which team plays better as a team.
