Thanjk you.

Brazil, despite having a fairly weak squad compared to what they have had in the past. I just cant see past them. The home field advantage is massive here.
It's a hard one. Still thinking about this. Brazil is favorite because of the home advantage, but I for some reason doubt they will take it.
Germany up there in my books, can't quite decide if they have enough to them.
Spain is again amongst the favorites, but won't make it twice in a row I reckon. Plus Iniesta, Xavi and the core of the team have been a bit out of form this season.
Hope Uruguay will take it - but it's a bit of a stretch!
Argentina could take it, but they have underperformed for years now.
Uruguay. I think they'll improve on the last World Cup, they're acclimated and they have goals from nothing. Teams defending with ten men? Suarez is the key. Teams opening up? Suarez will find Cavani.
Brazil are too shallow and the pressure will be too much. Argentina might push on. I can't see any team from Europe coping with the heat, although Germany might reach the semi-finals.
There was huge pressure on Brazil during the confeds cup last year and they walked through that. Getting better as it went on. They will be used to the high stakes of playing at home I think.
You could argue that the Copa America is more important than the Confederations Cup, and the World Cup is different gravy. I do think they'll be in the mix come the final four, but I think they will fall short. But then my predictions on here are so wide of the mark, it's borderline amusing. You could point to the hosts winning the World Cup on six (?) occasions ... let's just say a team is going to win the World Cup.
