Ya this WC seems to be better then the last. With Rooney, Deisler, Cassano and other young players making an impact on the squads it will be a nice WC to watch.
Also lets not forget about Adriano. Brazil look strong in the attacking with Adriano and Ronaldo up front.
I got my bets on Brazil to repeat or Germany to exact revenge. Germany look strong with Klinsman in charge and some added youth. Kahn's no longer gaurenteed a spot and even his captain was given to Ballack (rightfully deserved).
I would like Italy to win (as I'm of Italian background) but I would love to see Canada atleast qualify as that's were I live. Canada got jipped in there last game and should of won. No they need to win 3/4 games and the next game they play is against Costa Rica. They will probably lose that so it would have to be 3/3 after that

after the match against brazil im a lot more confident than before. quite exciting to see our young players (a lot from stuttgart too ) perform so well. kuranyi/asamoah seems like a good team for the offense. now we just have to kick out kahn and put timo hildebrand in his place

I think he (Kahn) looks like he was on his way down because no had no competition in net. He was always gaurenteed a starting role and also had the captain's band. Now with Klinsman he has lost his band and Klinsman has made it clear that Kahn is no longer the automatic first choice.
I now expect Kahn to work his ass off and prove he should be the starter or else he can kiss his career good-bye to Lehmann.
