this poll fails.... you put england and argentina but not Italy... wtf? they are the defending champions and if you go by wins it goes
5 brazil
4 italy
3 germany
you just fail with this poll

(i'm french)

and england has always been england, what are you talking about in your op???

Here's an idea: Shutup.

Being the defending champion means very little in a competition where no team has won twice in a row in nearly 50 years. So unless your polls are better, don't complain. Oh wait, you don't make polls.

You fail.

So you think that England (Who won the World Cup in 1966) and Spain (Who actually never even reached the finals) have a better chance at winning this years World Cup than Italy (Who were in the finals 6 times and won 4 of those AND is the defending champion)? Seriously, you tell Hephaestos to shut up, but come on...Italy should've been up there.

I can imagine that you chose Spain, though, since they won the European Championship in 2008. So, the main complain i have with this list is England. Without a doubt Italy should've been up there instead of England. Hell, even France deserves a spot on that list more than England does. France reached the finals 2 times in the last 3 World Cups and they even won in 1998.

Of course, nobody knows who will win the World Cup this year, but 4 countries should ALWAYS be on lists like this: Brazil, Italy, Argentina and Germany. You got 3 of them right, but you missed a VERY important one...

And it also has to do with the fact there are a huge amount of English football fans on this site. If I excluded it, there would have been copious amounts of bitching from that direction as well.
