Mr.Jingles
Spain is definitely not going to win because super favorites haven't won a World Cup since Brazil in Chile 1962.

One of many local watering holes get big-time interest here in suburbian DC/Balto for the roundball.
Will make sure I go to my favorite tavern for the UK-USA first round match. Really don't care who wins, just know that the place will be packed.
Brazil, Germany or France are my best bets to win it all.

ha ha!!!
Actually, I was saying that because as an American, I know my "home team" has no shot of winning the World Cup... EVER.
And while most of the time, you're right mooghead... check out the Freedom of Speech thread and how I SOLVED the problem of public campaign donations. Everyonce in a while there's a flash, but I blame the DMT that Treasure Moment gave me.

Joxer - Germany did not have any better than "average" teams in the FIFA cup 2002 (2nd place), FIFA cup 2006 (3rd place) and Euro 2008 (2nd place). It needs a good tournament team to get far in the World Cup. England did not win anything after the World Cup 1966 although they have the biggest league along with Spain and Italy and have great teams which won numerous international cups etc. Maybe now they have a good tournament team with their Italian coach:-)
African teams have never won anything although there is always an expectation that an outsider will reach the semi finals. You forgot Italy and Argentina who are always candidates for the cup.
