New Poll - Which country will win the FIFA 2010 World Cup?

Sorry for the rant, reading it again now I realize it was a little hostile. But I get a little defensive of the atacking play stile.

Well in 82 we had a national team based on the flamengo team, we couldn't possibly win, since the Gods of Football wouldn't allow it. The flamengo supporters would be even more cocky then they are now. So a player that have not played a good game yet in the cup found all the football he got in himself and scored 3 goals in 1 match and 3 more till the end of the cup, helping Italy get it's 3 rd Cup. We couldn't do anything, fate I, reckon. ( flamengo are the biggest rivals of Vasco, my team). It repeated itself in 86, for the same reasons, against France.

BTW, we are not exactly favourites, is just that since no team is playing top football latelly, even Spain( Eurocup Spain is far away. In the confederation cup they lost to the US, so we can't be sure wich Spain we will see in the Cup 08 Spain or 09), so by default people point to Brazil, but even I am not so confident in the squad we have. Has being some time since the last good game I watched. This cup, anything can happen even a African team getting to the finals for the first time.
