So after staying away from this FIFA-UEFA-MANCHIE (according to Genia)-EuroLeague fever for three years, I'm trying my best to catch up. I'm gonna try my best not to take sides, but pardon if i offend someone.
Its good to see that veteran like Beckham, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are coming back, but keep in mind there are alot of newbies on the field too. Not to mention the-new-beasts Rooney (Eng) and Schweinsteiger (Germ).
Since i gained my consciousness I've been told that no one can easily beat Brazil, and I've witnessed this team winning FIFA cup twice. Although in 1998 France was able to steal it, but they were not able to keep up with it. SO there goes Brazil again in 2002 for the FIFTH

time.
So i think we need a new rival. In my lifetime so far Brazil has hammered it twice, but now I'm looking froward to an upset and some new team becoming a rival.
I think Germany has a pretty good chance as they are playing on the home ground and have alto of audience support; but you never know about Argentina, Australia, Japan (looks tough), etc.
Well thats what i think so far.

PS I'm going to support USA no matter what because its the my current mother country.
PSPS I didn't like the new song 'Our Lives' for FIFA 2006, so I'm still gonna sing 'Cup of Life' from 1998
