VIVA ESPANA  ......   My Choice for winning the world cup. ....

---

Going to go for German win - not a bad defence with arguably one of the best goal keepers around, Weidenfeller is also a great keeper and he is back up - superb solid midfield (midfield is the engine of any team) - decent strikers, would be very surprised if they do not make at least the semis.

Most of the Germans had a bad end to the Season , predictably I think one of the South Americans will win

Indeed, that's because they had rubbish players from other countries playing along side them

That's true, Ribbery and Robben are crap

Brazil or Argentina for me.

Nah, England for me.

Oh wait.......they may struggle to get out of their group.

Winner will be from South America for sure and I can't go past Brazil, they will win it,

But the following will all have a good tournament -

Argentina
Chile
Uruguay
Spain
Germany (NEVER write off the Germans, you do so at your peril)

Big flops / shouldn't have bothered

England (could potentially go home without a win, ok so they should beat Costa Rica)
Netherlands (past their best and all the hype from the last world cup)

The outside punts

France
Italy
Belgium (I REALLY like Belgium actually, they play some great football)

Not always true, yes sometimes they don't pull their weight, but I don't like either player - Ribbery is a miserable scar face t*rd whilst Robben thinks he's some sort of hard bloke who enjoys diving, even so still good players most of the time that should feature in the world cup, not sure if they've been picked tho. It's some of the other non-Germans that play for the German teams that are a bit questionable.

Probably agree with most of that... I do feel England could get out of the group n maybe surprise a few. France have been off the radar n could surprise likewise a v good Belgium team

Still think Spain are the team to beat. Then Germany or Argentina. If England can get ou t the group then you never know.

I think Belgium are a reasonable outside bet to make the final actually. But they are not exactly tournament tough, can't see them getting over the line and winning it. Maybe Belgium occupy England's usual position in that much is expected but will ultimately go out via pennas in the QF or SF.

BBC SPORT... WORLD CUP 2014 ...... Of 32 countries playing  only 4 teams have no British Players... Full list of players are shown...Worth a look ....

Wonder if Januzaj will shine at his first world cup with some people comparing him to Ronaldo at that age? bet it was a happy time for the Belgian football association (or whatever their called) when he said he wanted to represent them, or will it just be a learning curve as he's still very young. Either way I'm sure we will find out.

Surely 31 teams should have no British players

England win a tournament on penalties. Hopefully some good prospects for the future there.
