Who will win the WC?

[The_weatherman]

For me it's either Brazil or just a shade more likely IMO, Argentina. South America will win this WC and like some have said, it looks like Messi and Aguero to some extent have been conserving themselves for this. Messi vs. Neymar in the Final

Ps. Is it possible? ARG vs. BRA in the final?

Just think that the Argies can roll out a front 4/5 of Lavezzi/Aguero/Messi/Di Maria/Tevez and still have Higuain in reserve! Flawed in midfield and defence but there isn't a team that isn't flawed in the competition for me. Will be interesting to see how Diego Costa fits into the Spain team. Haven't see him the friendly games yet for them. He doesn't necessarily fit what they have done in the the recent tournaments but should offer a LOT more than Torres and co offered in the Euros.

Belguim will do well if they find some self-belief.

Italy are **** and Uruguay not much better. If Hodgson lets the players go out and play, no reason why we cant get out the group

Italy are ****?

[Daniel 7]

Belgium are the most overrated underrated team I think I can remember.

[Maxiedge]

Brazil, as they seem to be an anomaly whereby players play better for the national team than they do for their clubs.

They should certainly get out of their group. Isn't Benteke injured though? Relying quite heavily on Hazard and Lukaku going forward if so.

They could do well but their entire squad might be lacking...

England isn't that horrendous a shout despite that jowly goat being the manager.
I hate International, nationalistic, sabre rattling football, but England could have loads of LFC players in the squad including Lala.

So it means I might have to watch them...

Spain again for me.

Spain again for me.

Its when you look at the 30 man provisional squad named today and you start thinking, why the hell would you back against that collection of players...

Totally. They've got the best squad. Just think they've lost much of their zip and it's an unbelievably big ask to win a fourth successive major tournament.

i agree - i also think suarez has burnt himself out and will be ****ed for it.

last 3 or 4 games, too me, he's looked dead on his feet, his touch has been poor (for him before everyone goes off on one ) he's struggled imo

He's not been himself and the rest of that Uruguay team isn't up to much.

Argentina or Spain for me.

[-V-]

It's between Brazil and Spain.
Germany don't have the strikers, Dutch can't defend, French don't have the bottle, Belgium are inexperienced, Italians don't score enough, England have the bodge, Argentina are terrible at the back and Uruguay have a shockingly bad midfield.

I think Spain might nick it

[-V-]

Also fancy Chile to cause a few upsets

Insane achievement to have won 3 in a row. If they won a 4th then I'd seriously consider this generation to be the best ever in the history of International football.
