Default FIFA World Cup 2014

Are we starting a Brazil World Cup Thread?
Since, you know, it is the biggest sporting event and 'search' did not bring up a hit, and....kick-off is imminent.

EDIT:

Added some handy links:

My prediction is that the Socceroos get kicked by the big boys in their pool.

Your Nostradamus-style foretelling will come true.

Cameroon to WIN IT ALL!!! There! How's that for going out on a limb?

As for the United States, same and lame as always. A brief surge of interest if they start well, national outrage for a nano-second when they crash & burn, and then back to sleeping through the baseball season. Tim Howard’s beard will finally consume his head.

My mad, capricious pre-World Cup prediction isn't looking too hot. Poor Cameroon. But good for Croatia, they look like a good team and I´d love for them to advance.

England will lose to Italy and Uruguay and maybe get a draw against Costa Rica thus finishing bottom of group D

I really hope I am wrong......

Brazil for the win and England to fail at the group phase.

Strangely enough, betting odds (currently) have Argentina at no 2, ahead of Germany and Spain.
Brazil at no 1, with England a long shot at 28/1.
You'd have to be game or stupid or both to put down on England.

My prediction: Germany v Brazil final with Germany to triumph.

I'd argue the England officials are amongst the best in the tournament.

Roy Hodgson has said that England's World Cup campaign will 'take off' after the group stages.

And land seven hours later, at Heathrow.
