Who will win the world cup 2006?

[Brownswan]

Keep laughing bro, never doubt the undoubted ! ! ! Underdogs seem to surprise a lot of people.

That usually holds true in World Cups up to the quarter final matches.

THe US winning the world cup? haha it makes me sick to my stomach. Never will a team with a crap domestic league win it. Face the truth!

BIG TIP: Kick and run does not work, haha

HA HA HA sooooooooooo true good way to start with ur first POST!! high five :D

[L.A. SOCCER NATION]

I voted for the Dutch to win it all but if my dream would come true, The USNT would be crowned champions in Germany 06. Imagine how much it would help US soccer in America grow. Anyways I voted for the Dutch. :D

[CentraLSocceR411]

Come on, we know your Mexican @$$ voted for Mexico in this poll more then once...


haha

[Gazza Meola]

I agree that it seems superfluous to register votes for non-European teams in the tournament. Surely, Brazil and Argentina are capable of making a run at the title. It remains likely, however, that a European side should take the title.

The Czech Republic appears to be a top-notch dark horse (a dark horse in the sense of a nation that has not previously won the Cup). Germany and England also have advantages in this tourney.

Welcome to BigSoccer newbie, opinions abound here. :)

There is no no no no no no NO way on god's green earth that England wins the next world cup.......I mean really
USA wont even get out of the group stage, the US fans get carried away with their winning streak or whatever.......listen, it obvious that their gonna keep winning if their playing trinidad, jamaica, st.vincent and guyana all the time..........Neither the US or england can beat BRAZIL, ARGENTINA, ITALY, PORTUGAL, SPAIN, OR GERMANY!!!!!


maybe you should change your nickname, it doesn't suit you.

England CAN (meaning -it's very possible) beat all of the above.

the USA however... well......... ahem. :o

[Jeremy Goodwin]

Props to the Americans who had the balls to say the USA will win it.How about the English who had the balls to say they would win it?

[OutKast3000]

England over Brazil 3 - 1 in the final.

[lefutur]

FRANCE!!??!! ARE YOU INSANE? The US has a better chance than France if it wasnt for a difficult draw and a cakewalk to the quarterfinals for France. Once they make it there they'll be toast

I love the fact that noone thinks France has a chance. They play thier best as an underdog.

Allez les Bleus!

This pole seems to express something of a delusional mindset. I hope the U.S. does great and wins the whole thing, but it isn't going to happen. It would be a bigger miracle than the 1980 Winter Olympics "Miracle on Ice" for the U.S. to make it to the semi-finals much less the finals. It would be optimistic to think that the U.S. will even make it past the group stage. So, I'm a little suprised to see the numbers for the U.S. WINNING the World Cup. I'm also suprised that Mexico is rated so high seeing they have never even made a semi-finals despite hosting the cup twice. Mexico is in the same boat as the U.S. - make it to the Quarter-Finals and you've won your World Cup. Finally, Germany is hosting the World Cup and probably deserves some more respect than they've been given in this pole. I'd be shocked if Germany didn't make the semi-finals no matter how unremarkable their players or playing style seems to be. They're frigging Germany and the almost make it to the final four no matter what. I'll say this - I bet Germany goes further than Portugal.

Interesting comments from everyone, but too bad you only seem to focus on a few teams. I'll try to give my 2 cents from a slightly different perspective.

Germany have an excellent chance, as they are the home team, and always do well in the tournament. They always seem to show up for the big games.

Brasil look good still. Some top class players in midfield and up front. Not the greatest D, but who needs it, when you score more than the other team :)

Czech Republic should be strong, but really depends if Nedved shows up. They have one of the best keepers in Peter Cech and look solid in mid.

The Dutch have loads of talent. They question is, can they finally get some luck going and win the big games. They always seem to lose in those important games.

Poland have finished 3rd in the WC finals twice. They looked strong in qualifying and have quality players in all positions. As a side note, if some people think USA is gonna win, then Poland have a way better shot, as they beat them in the last WC and Polands side is much stronger now. Plus they got robbed in WC 1974 when they lost to the Germans in the semi's when it was poring rain and only 1/2 the field was cleaned up. They are out for blood and just happen to be in the same group this time!

England, can they finally get through a tournament without someone making a huge meal of something. They always seem to screw up at the most critical time.

(also to the comment the USA cannot score, just look at Brian McBride's 8 EPL goals, better than almost any English striker. Im no USA fan, but just trying to add some balance to this forum.)

why am i always seeing comments like these, where americans insist on comparing the us national team to the english one. stop doing it we are leaps and bounds ahead of you, we are in different leagues altogether.

our team consists of players from chelsea ,man U , tottenham, arsenal, liverpool, real madrid , and newcastle.

yours consists of players from man city , reading , fullham, galaxy, revolution, fire, muchengladbach or whatever etc.

no need to give me negative rep as well you know, i am only stating a point.

[toneroll]

oh and one of our subs, darren bent has 10. (i cant edit so i had to re post)

Last time I checked, most of the 'West Indie' islands are still colonies of Eurpoean nations. So before you go jumping on the anti-US-soccer bandwagon, you might want to take notice that the poster you are criticising is not from the US.

i'm not just on about the last poster , i see it all over these boards. and i am not on the anti "- us soccer bandwagon -" i just can't understand why in a thread like this people have to compare usa with england, they're like chalk and cheese.
