It's just like every big team, you always expect them to play well. That's why they are the cream of football, don't you think? I'm betting on Brazil just because I am Brazilian, and I see the world cup a bit different than most of you, also I believe in lobbys behind the curtains and in my crazy mind Brazil's gonna win this one but won't win 2014, if you guys know what I mean.
Like I said, Portugal is a good team, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco (all i can remember, but whatever). BUT Ivory Coast and Brazil in the same group is death.
Spain is, how can I translate the expression? They will blow. They will have to pass Ivory Coast (I'm assuming that Brazil is #1 and Spain too in their groups) in the eights. But hey, that's my opinion.
African teams can't hold the momentum. Germany is always strong, so I won't discard it.
England's group is very neat, eh? Easy as pie. Can make to the quarters, but i'm not sure...
Now speaking of something I know: Brazil. We are bringing some youth players, but wtf, there are MANY great players playing here that won't even make it. Which I think it's sad. Ronaldo (not the Gaucho) is playing so much in Corinthians (even if people think he's fat). Roberto Carlos, now on Corinthians too, are being well said in the sports press here - they say he's so phisically well that seems he's a kid coming from juniors (lol).
Dunga is fucking up the team, but I dunno.
tldr version: brazil rlz just cause i'm from here. otherwise, i dunno, it's not a great team. and i'm not a fortune teller.
Seriously, i don't know much of football. I dunno why I'm saying so much about it.
