1. Brazil – Dunga's squad is packed with quality but, thanks to a tough draw,
faces a rocky road to the final.
2. Spain – The Spanish are hungrily chasing another tournament title
after a magnificent Euro 2008 victory.
3. Argentina – A sketchy qualifying campaign is now long forgotten
with Lionel Messi and other stars in superb form.
4. England – Fabio Capello's hard-line regime has reaped rewards.
Wayne Rooney's health is a huge plus too, but captain Rio Ferdinand is out injured.
5. Netherlands – The Dutch head into another big tournament
with an awesome squad, but will they lose their nerve again?
6. Germany – The Germans have the experience and organization to cope
with the loss of Michael Ballack.
7. Italy – The Azzurri probably won't repeat as champions,
yet a favorable draw could take them far.
8. Cameroon – Boosted by plenty of discipline and a determination
to become the first African semifinalist.
9. Portugal – It's a squad beset by problems,
but the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo can't be discounted.
10. France – Coach Raymond Domenech is a dead man walking,
and the team might not last long either.
