Solid teams, Colombia has looked good too. Belgium dominated their group.

overrated. Ozil has been slipping for Arsenal. Their midfield is not as strong as it used to be. They are beatable.

They have a relatively easy group to win, but they cross over with Spain's group. Brazil should go far. Could be a winner but I don't think so.

no idea what you are talking about but fifa wants france, not Brazil. Hence, how they helped them against Ireland in the past and this time around with the easy draw. Fifa does not care about Brazil winning. Platini and the rest are Pro-European. Argentina will have a tough time against Bosnia, Dzeko and co.will be playing with a lot of Pride. Spain has an aging mid, so they shouldn't pose a threat. I still believe Belgium would beat Brazil, even in Brazil. They have speed and a deadly line-up.

of course they ar beatable, but Germany is a team with a lot of valuable interchangable players, while teams like Brazil, Argentina, Columbia, Portugal rely very much on their key players (Neymar, Messi, Falcao -out now, Ronaldo) and if that key player is out or has a bad day those teams play maybe at 75% of their normal potential

Belgium is the most complete team and do not rely on one player. Lukaku, Hazard, Kompany, Felaini..stacked!

Aging MID? Koke , Mata , Silva? not to mention Xabi and Busquets both look as good as ever.
Belgium are worth mentioning as a dark horse, but they lack strikers i don't see Hazard and Mirallas carrying Benteke & Lukaku who have been struggling badly lately. They also lack age and experience that is going to be needed once they start getting to the knockout stages of the tournament.
And Colombia without Falcao? yeah right get real homie.
And reason Ozil has been ''slipping'' is because he's been forced to play with small injuries for most of the season because of Wenger
s matching and Arsenal having about as much depth on their bench as the kiddie pool you frequent at your local YMCA.
Make no mistake about it clown, Germany , Brazil & Spain are rightfully favorited to win the WC this summer.

People are on bathsalts if they think Spain slippin. midfield has like 5 of the top 15 midfielders in the world, and as for the striking Negredo , Costa, Villa & Llorente are gonna cause some serious problems.

Argentina's backline is a joke, i can see several teams causing them major problems. As every WC so far it's the most balanced teams that comes out on top in these kinda tournaments.
And there are no three more balanced then Spain , Brazil or Germany both in terms of quality and depth. It's also as much about the coaches as it is the players and the guys leading the three above aren't exactly hacks.

U haven't been following football for a long time have you?
Spain not a threat?? I'm not even explaining why that is incredibly wrong. Belgium has an exciting squad but how many players in that team have world cup playoffs experience?
This isn't a US sport so the refs aren't rigged.
Brasil - Spain - Germany

so you named 4 players ... how about the rest of the team? ... have you seen last year's UCL final? That is what you are going to see on the german team (of course, except Robben and Ribery) plus Ozil plus other great Leverkusen, M'gladbach or Schalke players... should be enough

The refs in the world cup are always rigged. Did you not watch the world cup in 2002? Wait till howard webb refs a game.

Lukaku, terrific power but not enough quality in the box as seen in his last games.
Hazard, a very good world class player.
Kompany, world class centerback
Fellaini, WHO? they guy who was bought for way to much money and hasn't produced anything outside England when he played for an ok team.
So to sum up, 2 world class players.
Yeah, Brasil, Spain, Argentina, Germany, France, Portugal and others don't have that...

There's a difference between rigged games and refs having a bad day, as players also have sometimes

Belgium are so overrated can't believe some ppl think they have a better squad than Germany? That's delusion from the believers in the hype of Belgium.
We played Belgium in qualifying, they're decent but they're a QF team nothing more.
Germany or Brazil will win it.
I'll bet Belgium don't go further than QF, someone like Chile or Uruguay will outlast Belgium.
