I'm really looking forward to this. I can't see Spain winning their fourth straight personally, my pick is Germany but they've always been the best during the start of the tournament before crumbling in the later stages. Brazil are going to have it tough to get by the second round regardless of them being at home, i can see either Spain or Holland beating them assuming they are the two who make it through Group B. I can't say this is one of the great Brazil world cup squads, Neymar,Ramires,Oscar,Dani Alves and Marcelo are the only big players of theirs i can think of.

England will find it tough to get through their group imo, i see a great tournament for Italy and Uruguay were Semi Finalists in 2010. Whoever gets through the group should easily make it to the quarters though because Group C is terrible. The thing i'm looking forward to seeing is if Argentina and particularly Messi will perform well. Can't say he's had a great international career yet.
