Yay! I have really been anticipating the World Cup... and now it's finally here!
Angola, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Tunisia, Asia, Iran, Japan, Korea Republic, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Paraguay, Australia, Croatia, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Serbia & Montenegro, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Ukraine, Costa Rica, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, USA...
I have no favorites... all of these teams are playing fairly well, and mostly all of the matches are fun to watch.
Wikipedia has an excellent article on the event with schedules and other nifty information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup
So, what do you all think? Which team is the best bet at winning the cup? Which flag do you have flying in the wind on your car? Which flag have you painted or drawn on yourself or on paper millions of times?
What do you have to say about FIFA 2006?

I'm not one at all (I'm afraid it's a dark spot on my patriotism). You haven't mixed the groups, as I learned from my husband who is not a big fan either, but likes to be informed on everything. He has a great respect for Brazil although he says they are not as good as they used to be. In a few days we'll play against Australia. If we win, do you think Secret Squirrel will speak to me again?

My guess is the winner will come out of the following foursome; Argentina, Brazil, Italy & Germany (because of home advantage but a long shot).
Spain (Fabregas!), Holland, Czech Republic and England are good outsiders. France is IMHO over the hill.
My best team so far:
Buffon (Italy)
Emerson (Brazil)
Nesta (Italy)
Cannavaro (Italy)
Lahm (Germany)
Lampard (England)
Frings (Germany)
Kaka (Brazil)
Pirlo (Italy)
Ronaldinho (Brazil)
Frei (Switzerland)
Player with the coolest name, Bastian Schweinsteiger!!! Jawohl!!!
