not a chance... but: i wouldn't be surprised if they go further than expected, maybe to the quarters or semis.  several of the sites for the games in South Africa are being played at altitudes similar to that at Azteca Stadium, which will certainly play into Mexico's favor.

I'm going for Germany and the US...  I see Brazil, Germany or Italy winning though.

i have my doubts about italy this year.  they always seem to do well in the Cup, but i'm predicting a poor showing from them.  they went 7-0-3 in qualify, but against a weak group, and only scored more than 2 goals in a game once.  with an anemic offense against weak teams, they're going to have trouble scoring against the best teams in the world, even if their defense can hold opponents to only a goal or two a game.  since they won the world cup in 06, they've slowly dropped in the fifa rankings, and are currently 5th.  don't get me wrong, they have the talent and the pedigree to win it all, but i just don't feel it this time around.
