I could only add 10 options to the poll, so I chose the countries with the highest FIFA ranking, sorry if I left your favorite out.
 
And as an additional question who do you hope will win?
 
Cheers

My teams in order of preference are:
 
USA - home country
Germany - second home country
Spain - good friend from there, and I like the way they play (They are technically better than Germany..so I voted for them)
 
Edit:  I also like watching the Oranje, and I guess they would be my 4th favorite.

I think England is going to win, it's a good team coached by one of the best manager there is,  what i'm certain of is Italy won't win the cup for the second time in a row, sadly.

My favourite is portugal but Brazil has the class of spain and the power of germany, then they will win because they now have a coach that play like they are italian (defensive) and in the end they are Brazil
 
I think spain won't do well in this world cup, they are small and in the world cup there is more muscle than in euro!

I have voted for England, but do not tell anyone else in Scotland or else I will get a kicking!

I think Spain is the strongest and the deepest squad, they won Euro 2006, and a lot of Spanish players are doing big things all over Europe, (don't leave, Fabregas!).  And I wouldn't say the Wold Cup is more physical than the Euros, besides, a lot of Barcelona players deal well with physical / perceived physical play.  I would be very careful even trying to touch a player like Xavi, he might go down.  Looking forward to seeing the Netherlands too, they have a good squad, and Robben and Sneijder are doing big things in Europe, so that can only be good for the Netherlands.  I'd like to see a confident display from the Netherlands, because they have the talent.  I wouldn't say they are favorites though.
Argentina?  England?  Come on guys!  Some big question marks there.  Especially Argentina, they may have the best player in the world, but that's it.  I mean, on the big stage; they have decent players, but that's it.

Hey, who do you guys think will be in the 10 spot for Spain?  That's an interesting question.  Well I guess it would depend on Del Bosque's personality, I'm guessing Xavi, but I would love to see Fabregas given the keys.  Even in Euro 2006, he was given more and more time as the tournament wore on.
