Who's the greatest of them all? 2006 supplies the answers

PARIS: The sporting year of 2006, packed with high-profile events dotted around the globe, will reignite fresh debates over best teams and greatest players.

2006 German world cup
Brazil, England or Argentina for the World Cup?

Bode Miller or Hermann Maier to snatch the Winter Olympics limelight?

Can Australia salvage its battered teams' pride by dominating the Commonwealth Games on home soil?

Will Rafael Nadal halt the Roger Federer express?

What about a 30-year-old Tiger Woods and his pursuit of more Majors?

By the time the Asian Games brings the curtain down on the year in December, we will have some of the answers.

Top billing will be Germany from June 9 to July 9, when Brazil will start as overwhelming favourites to lift a sixth World Cup.

Inspired by World and European Footballer of the Year Ronaldinho and with the likes of Ronaldo, Kaka and Robinho leading a roll-call of dizzying talent, the other 31 teams may be playing for second place.

"Brazil are the favourites for me," said Germany's World Cup winner Franz Beckenbauer.

"I watched them at the Confederations Cup and they were brilliant."

Twice-winners Argentina are second favourites but have a tough opening group where the Netherlands are lurking.

But coach Jose Pekerman remains confident.

"When the going gets tough we always produce the goods," said Pekerman.

However, many observers insist 2006 will be England's year, 40 years after their first and only success, their optimism based on the talents of deadly striker Wayne Rooney.

By the time the World Cup gets underway, the Winter Olympics in Turin in February will be a distant memory.
