With the 2006 World kicking off June 9, it makes me wonder what all you guys think will happen. Who will be the next big champion will it be Brasil once again or will it all change? After all footbal is the number one sport in Europe and the world. I think it will be a Brasil vs Argentina in the final. I want to hear form your opinions.

Rare to find car designer types interested in football and thank you for not using the word 'soccer'.

It's gotta be Rooney, er, England. Tough tho 'cos if both England and Brazil win their groups then they will probably meet in the semi-finals. Whoever wins that game lifts the cup. Argentina's star striker (Crespo) was a substitute for most of the season. France have just lost Cisse so all their goals will have to come from Henry (Imagine a nation pinning all it's hopes on one player?). Holland look pretty strong and don't underestimate the good ol' US af A; Captain marvel Claudio Rayna plays for the greatest team in the whole wide world.

I hope Deutschland! I also hope that England get knocked out at the group stages!

Big Brother and the World Cup; what did I ever do to you TV for you to wee in my eyes all summer?

wots the world cup?

Of Course Germany will win the cup, because they´ve trained so hard and all the German will support them. It´s a great feeling here in Germany :-)

i'd love for england to win. but no one can really match brazils skill and flair. and i hope germany get knocked out in the group stages :P

^^^ well, no chance of that happening! they just hammered costa rica 4-2, cracking game.

you forgot davide trezeguet (juventus)

I hope Crouch doesn't score! to save him the embarassment of doing THIS infront of millions of people.

Anyways, my money is on Italy to lift the trophy, they're just too hot to handle at the moment.
