We have a long way to go, but who do u think will take the Cup? In my opinion, Brazil will take the Cup once again but its not going to be easy!!!

Well after the general poor performances by the ’top’ european countries in euro 2004. Can anybody beat Brazil in World Cup matches????

Brazil, France, Argentina... and it’s always foolish to rule out the host nation, Germany. Rich

@Ferdan LOL can they really? ;) They have yet to prove that!! Good luck tho, u’ll need it....
StillFar said on July 13, 2004 15:01:
maybe some surprise like at the Euro, so I won’t say who’ll win, but I place a bet on neither Brazil nor Argentina winning 06! ;) I’d even go further and say Brazil will be out in the 1/4 finals :D
PureBrazilianRJ said on July 13, 2004 15:11:
@StillFar Brazil out in the 1/4 finals? Impossible!!! Just remember what i’m saying right now! In 06 Brazil will reach the finals again!!! ;) And the final might be Brazil and Germany once again!!! Brazil 6 times World Champion in 2006.

Memory problems??
You forgot that Argentina eliminated Brazil in the ’90 World Cup?
1-0 Caniggia :)
PureBrazilianRJ said on July 13, 2004 16:42:
@Ferdan i remember that... it was a mistake that happened in 1990, but i dont think it will happen again!! If you really want Argentina to eliminate Brazil in 06, you better call Bielsa and tell him to make some changes on that team because what happened in Copa America against Mexico was a humiliation. The Mexican gave the Argentine national team a free lesson on how to play football!! It would be an emberassment to play Brazil with that team, unless Bielsa and the rest are looking for another loss like in the World Cup Qualifier this year. Brazil won 3 x 0 Argentina.
;) Have a nice day!

@Santi: I have realised that. Brazil is the only national team to win a World Cup in all continents where the competition has been held.
Brazil was the only one outside Europe who won in Europe, Sweden.
@PureBrazilianRJ: I agree with you. 200SIX rhimes with SIX times champion.
Later!

Germany in the final? Never ever. We lost Rudi Völler as the coach of the team, we want Otto Rehagel and now guess whom we might get :Matthäus.AHHHHHHH; life can be so hard ;-)

I still pray for Ottmar Hitzfeld to come - he is the ONLY ONE who can make the lazy ones run again!

I think either Brazil or Italy will win but my heart supports Sweden

If Germany doesn’t get better strikers than right now, they won’t come far.
Otherwise they have a serious chance, since the organizing country always comes far (Portugal reached the final this year).
Brazil and Argentina can both come far.
Usually Brazil has a lot of luck, so they probably will at least reach the final.
Maybe Greece can go for the double?
Would be funny.
Other favourites include France, Portugal, The Netherlands, Czech Republik, Argentina.
In all fairness I have to admit that I think that Czech Republik deserves to win a huge price. The way they were eliminated was really not nice for them.
Some news from the Netherlands: Big chance that Marco van Basten will become coach of the national team, together with Jhon van ’t Schip.

Probably Brazil, France, Italy, Argentina, or one of those all-time favourite teams will win. But it would be nice that a surprise happened, like Greece did in Euro Cup. Croacia and Turkey did a great job in last World Cups.
All I know is that I want to see Beckham becoming world champion ;-p
arnie said on July 15, 2004 22:53:
Brasil will be in the final for sure....
maybe Argentina, England or Italy are stronger candidates.
In France’s case, it was just pure luck ...
PureBrazilianRJ said on July 16, 2004 16:38:
Yea the 06 World Cup will be a good one to watch... I dont think that France will go too far, Argentina have a pretty good team so they have a chance, Turkey can be a surprise and lets not forget about Greece!! But i still see Brazil in the final :) ... Good luck to all
Santi said on July 17, 2004 05:29:
Just to remind you all a bit of history, the previous “very surprising Eurocup winner” (Denmark in 1992) didn’t even qualify for the following World Cup (USA’94)!
I don’t think Greece is going to do much in the World Cup, to be true...
PureBrazilianRJ said on July 21, 2004 04:40:
@Santi
A World Cup and a Euro Cup/Copa America are different things!! And i agree with u that Greece might not do much in the World Cup 06, but they can be a surprise just as Turkey was in 02!!
Santi said on July 21, 2004 05:16:
That was what I said. Denmark won the EuroCup, and they didn’t classify for World Cup...
Any bets that Greece won’t do anything?
Turkey has never done anything in a Euro CUp...
Mari said on July 21, 2004 06:16:
Finland! Other teams hasn’t any chans. And Forssell will be the best player of the tournament.
PureBrazilianRJ said on July 22, 2004 03:19:
@ Mari
I hope Finland and all other teams play like never before so that they can give brazil a sweat!!! ;)
Santi said on July 13, 2004 05:01:
If Greece can win the EuroCup, Serbia-Montenegro can win the World Cup...
Btw... it’s quite rare (it has only happened once) that the World Cup is won by an American national team when played in Europe, and it has never happened that an European national team has won outside Europe, did anyone realise that?
