    I think the predicting the winner is a no-brainer. Historically Brazil have always been contenders - even in a bad year. And they're playing at home which history tells us leads to teams playing above themselves. But who will they beat in the final?

    History also tells you Brazil didnt cope very well all round when they hosted it in 1950.

    Different times I know, but any wobble and the crowd will get on their backs. They must be up there but I wouldnt be surprised if they choked.

    I voted for England . I tried really really hard not to, but some how it just happened any way.

    Brazil will be hard to beat at home, but how will they handle the extra pressure?

    Don't laugh. At my first job where coworkers were normal and funny I started a game where everybody should guess the result of every match. Matching a result meant you'll get some points, wrong result meant you have to pay and the winner of the game should take all the money involved. It was a laugh and I managed to find 42 players. We had 2 winners, one took his award, the other took us out for beers.


    BTW. Like at every WC I'll support Argentina but I voted for Brazil.

    Too many matches so it's quite hard to predict.

    I prefer to watch instead

    I'll do that too I guess.

    Only for fun. Already worrying about predicting Portugal as my one shock knock out in the group stages.
