Italy were alright though imo. Maybe the final was a bit drab, but they were decent to watch up until then. Fullbacks Grosso/Zambrotta pressing forward, some techincal ability from Camoranesi, Pirlo, Totti. Though they did have a relatively easy run.

I was inclined to give the Netherlands dark horse status, until I looked at their defense:

 

Heitinga   Ooijer   Van der Wiel   Gio

 

That's bottom half of the Premier League there. No wonder every game in the Netherlands seems to finish 5-2

 

 

For me it's Brazil, they have added a ruthless streak under Dunga that makes them tough as nails, while still able to outclass almost any other side in the tournament. They made England look hopeless in the last friendly. Will piss me off if they win, mind, not because of Spain not doing it, but I'm starting to get bored about Brazil winning WCs.

I agree about the way Dunga has transformed them into a team which is startlingly good at defending. They're very much a hard team to beat now, even though they gave up some flair to achieve that.

 

I think the Germans will be hard to beat as well (as usual), but they've got nothing up front this year.

 

If the Argies defend well, they'll win imo because they're just so superior up front. It's really up to Maradona whether the Argies fulfill their potential.
