Who Will Win World Cup 2014 in Brazil?

[SharkAA]

Yeah spain not slipping lol. Opened +425. Now +725. Seaweed I already made the belgium thread months ago. They aint winning it. Argentina will win it.

How much virtual money will you bet on Argentina?

[packerd_00]

Skys the limit.

[chidondollars]

Nigeria

[GRIZZ]

Brazil if it plays out relatively normally. Argentina if Messi is playing at his best.

Germany, Spain are the only other 2 "realistic" contenders, but I doubt it. The Cup is in South America, nobody is gonna come here and beat us on home soil. Has never happened in history, doubt it will now. I like Belgium but they're semi-finalists at best. Colombia is screwed now, Falcao won't be fit and if he is, he won't be in form.

[stepanekslips]

Italy and Germany final. Brazil and Spain to play for third.

[Seaweed]

Nigeria

Probably one of the worst teams in the WC.

[Seaweed]

Italy and Germany final. Brazil and Spain to play for third.

Brazil playing Spain for 3rd is impossible I believe since those two groups cross over.

[stepanekslips]

Brazil playing Spain for 3rd is impossible I believe since those two groups cross over.

If they win their groups they dont crossover although Italy will meet Spain before semis so:
Championship: Italy vs Germany
Third:Brasil

[plekz]

Don't see Italy making it with a Rossi with a knee that is in pieces and Balotelli that is pissing away his career being bipolar.

I'm seeing Belgium at -150 at win Group H with Algeria, Russia and Korea. Should be a solid bet, right?

[ADR51]

1. Germany
2. Holland
3.Spain
4. Brazil

Yeah, only threat there is Korea but Belgium should be able to handle winning that group i'd say.

[St8]

Belgium, what a joke

Brazil - Spain - Germany, in that order

Only a sample size of 4 though..

i vote Brazil, Germany, Spain - can't imagine Brazil not winning it though

with BiH as the best really long shot

[Celtics08]

Brazil 60% / Argentina 40%.

[JayLA]

you people are truly nuts to think a south american team wont win this world cup.

[RubberKettle]

Brazil, Argentina or Germany

[broadway6]

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

The refs aren't rigged? Yea ok

[easyliving]

Brazil will without a doubt. Their not gonna let another country lift the cup in their country.

[pavyracer]

It will be either Brazil or Argentina. No European team has ever won a World Cup in the Western Hemisphere.

[SarahPalin]

brazil will be hard to beat in brazil

[Lookingtostart]

Different climate might be a problem for some European countries. Hoping it will be Argentina, Brazil will have a very good team though. Doesn't matter to me anyway, won't be able to watch it.

[Big Bear]

brazil will be hard to beat in brazil

is it fair to say Brazils home field advantage will be similar to the Seattle Seahawks home field advantage at Quest Field?

[Darkside Magick]

Dark horse: Ghana

Miss a penalty shot that would have send the black stars to semi's in 2010
This year team is even better

[Carseller4]

How many South Americans does it take to change a light bulb?

A Brazillion.

[thesaint]

As strange as it sounds I think the home field advantage could be a detriment, if you remember wc 2010 when brazil played holland, when brazil were winning 1-0 the ref mistakenly called a ball out on brazil and the team just snapped, lost all focus holland went on to beat them 2-1, brazil couldnt handle the pressure add on the pressure of playing at home. When i look at their squad the only leaders I see are thiago silva, maicon and maybe ramires/oscar the other players dont have that sense of composure about them

does anyone think USA can win their group?

i dont follow soccer enough to offer educated analysis but the teams i cheer for are holland and usa. after that, its anyone but spain!

absoulutely not and they have almost zero chance of advancing.

USA is by far the worst team in the group. I think they know their only chance is to try to get some draws b/c they know they cant actually win a game in this group.

best case scenario for USA is a loss vs Germany and a tie game against Ghana and Portugal.

.

[Sawyer]

I like USA a lot but unfortunately they're in Group of Death. I'm afraid it may be too much challenge for Yanks to beat German Panzers and Ronaldo's Gang.

[Sawyer]

Brazil will win it all this year. I'm betting Brazil to win outright 3/1, Brazil to reach Semi Final (-111), Brazil to reach Quarter Final (-200).

First, I was thinking about dutching Brazil, Spain and Germany (not giving any chance to Argentina), it pays -110 approx. But when we consider there isn't any european team in history won the world cup in any south america tournament, I think best option is to just pick Brazil..

[RubberKettle]

Maybe if Seattle was its own country

No way at Quest Field your not going to have to worry about a gang of Football Hooligans coming at you with weapons. Do you guys not get Real Football Factories in the US
