    Gun to my head I'd say Brazil (at home, referees, etc.), but I don't like it enough to tie up my money (little as it is). That and I hope they lose, much rather see some underdogs get through.

                They have had a whole year to think about Brazil beating them 3-0.

                Those players probably think about that game every single day

                  are you going to sprinkle some on all 3?

                  Argentina can't stop Neymar and Fred though. They will cut thru that defense like a hot knife thru butter.

                    What is that like 25 to 1?

                    England is flying under the radar big time. 4 years ago everybody was talking about how good Rooney was and now everybody saying England won't even make it out of the group.

                      Dont think Brazil will win to many young players in the squad they will buckle to the pressure. Best longshot Portugal, Argentina will be very dangerous as well

                        No offense to anyone, but Portugal doesn't have a shot in hell.

                          So Brazil is now only 2.5 to 1 at LVH?

                          Anybody know if 3 to 1 or better is still available at any vegas casinos?

                                They've been playing well recently, and have the advantage of being used to a climate similar to Brazil. Don't think Croatia or Cameroon have a chance to qualify

                                  I dont think cameroon has a chance, but in euro 2012 I thought croatia was quite possibly the third best team at the tournament, at worst the 4th best, and they have a top 5 midfield at the WC, but only time will tell

                                    take Brazil and Argentina and hedge once they reach semi-finals. Also, cross your fingers they don't play Chile along the way. This is a hell of a dangerous team.

                                        The weather should make quite a difference

                                        I hope it's scorching in Miami this week, I'm interested to see how England cope against Ecuador and Honduras in the hot weather

                                                That's because a lot of fans are ignorant or haven't watched Ronaldo play for Portugal.

                                                    About the weather it will be rare for everyone who is not playing on north/north-east to get any temperatures over 25 celsius. It's actually winter in brazil, it's like european summer less the humidity of course.

                                                      Pick Brasil, Germany and Argentina in a way that if Germany wins you make $$$, and with the others just go even.

                                                        Is mine rankings to win WC.
                                                        but if Germany plays Argentina wouldnt Germany beat them? They have beaten Argentina the past 3 world cups are much more balanced than Argentina.

                                                        I'm starting to think Germany is going to win the cup. They are only 5 to 1 IMO b/c of the tough group they are in. If they were in an easy group like Argentina and Brazil they would probably be 3 to 1.

                                                          Germany is playing like one of those animals that acts like they are asleep and then eats their prey.

                                                          Sitting players b/c of injury, having a quiet camp, sleep walking thru a friendly not showing any tricks...

                                                          They are also a popular pick to get upset b/c facing Ronaldo, USA and Ghana.

                                                          IMO Reus and Gotze are going to be the difference. Germany has a lot of depth and they have the continuity of playing together at Bayern Munich. These guys are a true team.

                                                            I'm not understanding how Germany would be a popular pick to get upset in their group,their competition are hardly world beaters.

                                                              currently about 80 degrees in Brazil. Seems like all the good football players play in Europe professionaly anyway so the weather shouldnt be a big deal.

Whoever is playing on the south of the country might experience temperatures as low as 50ish in late afternoons. The proble is really the humidity which is high in most of the cities.

                                                                  Most brazilian players play in europe but you gotta remember they are used to playing since they were children at 90F and shit, argentinians as well so it is indeed a small advantage.
