I agree with you with all of those top players to look out except Koller and Pirlo. ;) Dont forget Drogba too.

[NickSCFC]

Drogba's a top playeer, but I'd get shit from Chelsea fans if I put him up there ;)

Funny, my mate who's in the marines has informed us he's getting sent to Iran in the summer, we might actually be at war with Iran when the World Cup's on. Wasn't there a riot when USA played Iran at France 98?

[O.D.S]

The excitement is slowly building, but i think this thread was made a little early (hence the low activity)

Goes For:
Italy
Czech Republic (if Nedved plays)

Suprise team:
Ukraine. I think they will do very well in their 1st ever world cup (thanks to Shevchenko)

[Tommy]

Jan Koller as a player to watch? I think he's past his best. Rooney definitely a player to watch.

[Rizon]

Beckhams lost it, i dont think he's that good anymore.
I hate rooney, he looks like a thug.
Cole/Lampard are the ones to watch.
But i want Serbia & Montenegro to win, cos it'll be so weirdly random.

[rekkit]

Beckham needs to be on the right to be effective, leave the centre for Lampard and Gerrard.

My hart says England in the final, but my head says never bet agianst Brazil, and Germany's home advantage could get them a long way into the tournament.

Drogba sucks, and the top player you should look out for is robin van persie from holland
