Its Hard to say who is going to win (anyone bet for greece 2 years ago?). Germany plays at home, that alone is a plus (ask korea if its not) so they are going to get far, like brasil.

Then we have another few teams that have the potential to win and playing in europe will help teams like france, italy, holland, england etc to play "at home". So im betting lots of europe teams at quarters plus brazil and maybe argentina (a team with LOTS of potential but sometimes they play like shit, like at the last world cup). Czech rep is another team to watch, not favourite but has great players, maybe we can see them at semifinals.

Here we are always talking about winning or going to the finals but we always fall at quarters, people think that having one of the worlds best leagues makes you automatically a favourite.

Lets see what happens in this first games. To win or lose the first match is half of the competition.
