 Given their past successes it would take a brave sports fan to bet against the world champions retaining their crown in 2006. If anything, Ronaldinho & Co. look even stronger than the 2002 vintage.
Brazil are the first reigning world champions forced to qualify for the finals, a task the side accomplished without a problem, finishing second behind Argentina in the South American zone. |  Finding stars on the Brazilian team is as easy as looking at the sky on a clear night. The legion of players in the Spanish league including Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos (both from Real Madrid) and Ronaldinho (FC Barcelona) are among the highlights and the German contingent of Juan and Roque Junior (Leverkusen) as well as Lucio and Ze Roberto (Bayern Munich) and Gilberto (Hertha BSC Berlin) help fill out the roster. |
