Yeah, but Germany was in the finals in the last European Championship 2008.

Spain and Brazil face each other so early it's dicey to pick one.

I'd like to go Argentina... but I don't trust their manager... at all.

Seems like they should be killing it but are held back by incompetance.

Eh screw it.  Brazil is always a safe pick.

Lionel Messi! The next Deigo Maradona. Or Ronaldhino the Kobe Bryant Of Soccer

Umm... wut?

I'm sure this has been brought up in the thread already, but how the hell is the last champion not even included in this poll?

Anyway, everything in the poll seems fairly reasonable except Spain and England which I believe have no chance of winning this year. I could be completely wrong of course.

I'll go with Italy.

Who will win ? Easy question the only 5 times winner for Fifa's World Cup Brazil , the best players , the best coach , and in overall brazil simply has much more culture in football than any other country. But we all know its not about the culture its about who is in your team. and if i ask youto name the top 10 soccer players in the world 7 would be from brazil , and those are the guys that will be in your team , if your team is brazil.

which means absoloutley nothing when you're talking about a team sport like Soccer. PPL claim Christiano Ronaldo is currently the world's best palyer. This doesn't neccessarily mean Portugal will win/go far.

Not to mention that there have been times when England clearly had the best team in the cup *COUGH* 1998 *COUGH*, and they STILL got defeated...in fact it was BECAUSE of their star player.

7 of the top 10?  Your dreaming.

I mean, Messi, Rooney, Ronaldo, Xavi and Drogba are top 10 players for sure and none are brazilian.

LOL SPAIN

even Argentina with Maradona has more chances.
