Early World Cup predictions

[c1973]

As per title, I know it's still a few weeks away but at this stage who is your pick to win the tourney and why.

Mine is Argentina, only because I feel they are due one and I was impressed the last time I watched them. I would have went for Germany (think they could maybe beat Spain now) had it been out with South America but I just don't see a European team winning in that heat/humidity.

Outside bet would be Uruguay (think they have a pretty special goalscorer) and the European dark horse would be Belgium.

Winners Brazil

Biggest flop Argentina

Best outside bet Colombia

Too many people bigging up Uruguay just because of the Suarez factor. They only scraped into the world cup via the playoffs.

England will be on one of the first planes home.

 

[cookelad]

Winners - Argentina (Only South Americans win in South America!)

Biggest Surprise - England actually bothering to get off the plane!

 

[Scotty_Tom]

Germany for me.

Yep, they had a bad year (2012) in qualifying but came good at the end. 4th place last time out as well. They score plenty of goals though and I think that's crucial in the big tourneys.

 

[G1BB0]

Winners - England
(of the wooden spoon of course)

Actual winner - Spain

 

[Dodger]

I'd be surprised if Belgium go further than group stage.

Winners will be either Brazil or Argentina for me.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Spain or Argentina.
Don't think Belgium will warrant been 5th favourites.

 

[bladeplayer]

Brazil to win

Spain to be best of Europeans as the keep the ball well and the will need to in the heat

 

[Khamelion]

England outside chance.

Spain or Brazil to win

Belgium as the dark horses

 

[Blue in Munich]

Having drawn Ivory Coast in the charity sweepstake I predict I won't be looking too hard in the For Sale section.

 

[Deleted member 18588]

England outside chance

I'll have a half of whatever you are drinking! A pint will obviously be too much.

Never mind "outside" how about "No chance".

Brazil v Spain in the final.

 

[LIG]

Remind me..... who's playing again???!!!








Edit: 1st player shot in the favellas : England
1st player to melt in the heat : Lampard

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Argentina or Brazil with Uruguay as the wild card to maybe sneak into the final

 

[JackieD]

Brazil to win.

Belgium outside chance.

 

[Pathetic Shark]

England to play more games in the World Cup Finals than Scotland

 

[chrisd]

Winners - Germany!

All of Scotland sit up late to watch England beaten 1-0 in semi final!

Woy plays all the youngsters and the teams play is a revelation

 

[NorfolkShaun]

England no question

 

[bernix]

FRANCE, the disappoint erery second WC but that was 4 years ago
