I disagree. This is a defense-first Brazilian team. Maybe not the sexy approach of the early 2000s but still quite effective. They thrashed Spain last summer and I think they'll do it again in the final this summer.

Even when the Nigerians had bet on themselves to lose, Scotland couldn't beat them

Can't see a European team winning it, Spain have come off the boil with the Barca contingent being past their best now. Germany will go far, but I can't see Ozil shining tbh. He lacks that killer instinct, and would rather pass than have a dig when it opens up for him.

For me its Argentina, with Brazil perhaps playing them in the final.

TBH i would'nt right off the European teams i think Spain Italy Germany are well capable to go all the way.. It would be warfare If and i say If Argentina V Brazil Final .. And Argentina won.. lol

Brazil v Italy final there great matches when these to heavy weights play the two most successful teams in the competition.

Your right about Spain but they seem solid when they play and have some great young players the Germans always organized and have some real talent in there team looking forward to seeing Julian Draxler play . This guy is quality .

Seem to remember people saying the same about Spain before and during the last tournament because they'd lost 4 friendlies (2 dickings) since the previous tournament.

They've won 3 major tournaments in a row and vitally their side has played a familiar and successful system for years and years. Rather than just chucking 11 players on the pitch which is what the majority of international teams do.

Yeah your right there , they don't actually play with attackers they play 11 men forward 11men in defense.. They play a very 90's style football move as one unit and it seems to be very effective. TBH as long as i see great football may the best team win ...

Thought they might be about 8/1 or 9/1. Might just make it a fifty to make it worth my while! 8)

I'll add punts to the list that includes horses running through council estates, toothless simpletons and badly tarmacked drivers (in this country)
