For a moment there i thought AJ have turned into Ortega

England 2-1 Denmark

England then play Brazil and as Wookiee said in the PS2 Forum, "Brazil have yet to play a team who actually can hit the target and defend properly"

You misunderestimate the Koreans. They are good. They cook dogs but they are the underdogs of this tournament.

In terms of teams that DESERVE to win, and could win (ignoring the fact some will play the favourites and therefore can't win..)
In order of decreasing chance (teams on same line have equal chances)

My favourites:
Brazil,
Spain,
England/Italy,

The teams with excellent chances:
Sweden/Mexico,
Germany/Denmark,

The Underdogs:
South Korea/Turkey/Japan
Senegal,

The Unlikely Lads:
Ireland, (sorry! suprise me - beat Spain and you can be in underdogs.)
Paraguay/USA,
Belgium
