With the soccer world cup to start in a few days time from now I  would like to know the views of the google community about the eventual winner this year.

Will it again be Brazil? or the host Germany? England or this time will it be some lesser known nation.

Desperately waiting for your views.

Keep posting. 

I'd love to say England but Brazil are just too good.

Can't believe Darren Bent didn't get in the England squad. Theo Walcott's never played at Premiership level, and probably still has a bedtime for Christ's sake!

I feel really sorry for Darren as he's worked his socks off all season. There's nothing else he could have done.

I'm can't wait for Steve McClaren to come in and end this rule that 'If you don't play for the Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool or Man United, your not in!'

Numerous players have moved to the so called bigger clubs to try and gaurantee their place in the England squad and ruined their careers as a result:

Shaun Wright Phillips would probably be in the England squad had he not moved to Chelsea.

Alan Smith moved to Man United after Leeds were relegated, and the footballing world has almost forgotten about him in the 2 years he's been there.

Scott Parker (sigh). Where do i begin.At Charlton gets in the England Squad. Moves to Chelsea. Can't get in Chelsea squad. As a result, can't get in the England squad, so moves to Souey's sinking ship (Newcastle United) where he spends the first few months of the season wondering whether he's going to be playing Hull next season...

 

My advice to Darren Bent would be to stay at Charlton where he's gauranteed first team appearances and just hammering the goals in. McClaren will judge players on there abilities not what club they play for.

Defoe seems to be out of the frame at Tottenham so should perhaps consider moving. Same applies to SWP.

The World Cup may be over but not the rivalry among the best players in the world. As far as leagues, cups and tournaments are concerned winning is still the most important item on the menu. Some teams like England and Germany have their national teams intact for the qualifiers for the next Euro championships, which for some teams are as important and prestigious as the World Cup. The rest of the world are also trying to boost their ranking points in the hope of making it to the next World Cup.
