[url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2006/predictor/defau… Cup 2006 Predictor[/url]

According to my predictions:

World Cup 2006

Winner: Brazil

2nd: Italy

3rd: England

England beat Sweden in the 3rd place play-off, after only managing a draw in the group stages

a la USA 94, it will be Brazil v Italy final, and there can only be one winner 8)

6 times world champions!!

DAVE.....are u not supporting the USA 'soccer' team?!
