Germany-
Will not win. Their defence is horrible, they have no shortage of fire power up front however on the counter all the defensive players have run to far up the pitch or way to wide to effectively close down the counter.
Australia-
Will not win. We have a solid backline, however lack of depth in the midfield and up forward will tell it's toll after a few games. We cannot have Viduka and Kewell playing everygame for at least 60minutes and expect other teams not to shut them down, or do some heavy marking.
Netherlands-
Strongest squad in the competition without a doubt. Will go far however many of the players will take a dive or play for the referee instead of playing the ball. Player's such us Robben and of course 'The Fox' pose great dangers for any nation however the can under preform and disapoint and quickly as they can excite.
England-
Will win. It's now or never for England and they know it this time. They may not have the strongest squad (Holland I think) however their core player's are strong and they can run for each other. They have a good spread and the inclusion of Rooney and they form of a few player particualry the Chelsea ones will help in big games. Joe Cole will be one to watch.
