That puts England well down my list.............but hey I'd love to see them win it more than anyone else.......just can't see it that's all..........

I am with jonny.......Brazil is head + shoulders above the rest

But this is the thing.....until a ball is kicked no-one has any idea who will be playing well. Who would have thought in the last World Cup that France wouldn't qualify for the second round and finish bottom of their group going out to Senegal and Denmark?? Argentina as well, ok England were in their group so they never had a chance , but it's these kind of results that make it so hard to predict.

Any games between England/Germany/Italy/Spain/Portugal/France would be too tight to actually call a result, yes they could all beat us, but equally we are good enough to give them a thumping on our day too, but we have to get through the group stages first!

It's definitely gonna be a good tournament, my biggest worry is Germany winning it (again) and if I was putting my money on only one team, it would be Brazil - but at least they are an entertaining/exciting team to watch.
