[Shep]

Go Argentina.

[bma]

Can't wait!! I think Netherlands will be my team this year!!

[inferno31]

England
Netherlands
USA

Thats my order for my preference, but I can see Spain taking it.

[Chuck Norris]

Go France, but Spain is going to win it.

[Nick]

don't cry for me Argentina !!!!

[MSP4LYFE]

Spain isn't going to win shit without Torres, David Villa and him are near unstoppable together, but when you take out Torres, the defense has the ability to shadow Villa, Spain doesn't have a third forward who can break down the D and finish like Torres, their midfield is oustanding though.

If I were Spain I'd play a 4-3-2-1 to spread out the attack, and provide Villa with a little extra support, the downside is that you sacrifice the wing game, but it's worthwhile if you can control the middle of the field, and increase the pressure on the defensive half of the field.

[Chuck Norris]

Torres will be back in time and David Villa will fill in just fine for him. With the best goalie in the world in goal the defense doesnt have to be perfect either. To me Spain is the only team that stands out in this world cup, everyone else is a crap shoot.

Both Fabregas and Torres future in the World Cup are ??? heading into the WC, they can say whatever they want, but neither are locks to play in it, far from it infact, and both will likely be playing at 70% or less.

In a tournament with so many powerhouse teams, I'm not a fan of Spain, too many injury question marks. I'm personally leaning towards Argentina, they have far and away the best forwad core in the world, Sergio Aguero, Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Diego Milito and Gonzalo Higuain.

David Villa and Torres are FAR MORE effective playing together, and Spain planned their attack around those two, so no Villa cannot just fill in for Torres if he is unavailable. Fact of the matter is that Villa himself is nowhere near as effective alone.

Likely worst manager of the tournament too.
For that reason I wouldn't be betting on them.
I like spains chances to be honest as well, I'm pretty sure Torres will be playing after all it is the world cup. Brazils another contender, but I'm pulling for the 3 lions as always.

brian burke doesn't know and doesn't care... either do I.

I'm not so sure about Brazil..theyve made some questionable roster selections. But I agree, they are always a contender.

The exclusion of Ronaldinho was disgraceful...

I know, after he was in all those Nike Ads!

Seriously though, don't think I've ever seen a player fall off like he did.

It's not uncommon, he dominated the sport for years, after a certain point the game catches up to you, the same thing happened to Shevchenko a few years ago.

[bma]

Man Drogba is out for the tournament...HUGE blow for Ivory Coast.

He fell off though when he was still quite young, its hard not to beleive those rumours when a player nosedives like that.

Rio and Drogba out, huge blows. I really wanted Ivory Coast to do well as well. Carragaher prob steps in for Rio, but huge blow for the 3 lions as well losing their captain (Gerrad is the new captain). They are much weaker defending crosses without him IMO (Terry has been awful at times in the air this season).

[KapG]

man this horn blowing needs to stop.

It's really getting out of hand IMO and makes the games almost unwatchable.
