But, never play the chances of the Germans, Spanish, Italians or Dutch...
I am going for a Brazil v Spain final
As for it not running smoothly, I honestly dont know how it can run at all, some of the stadia are nowhere complete, it should have been taken away from them at least a year ago, the problems they have had have been well documented for ages now. Not to mention the internal problems the country has been having with rioting and protests as well. But nothing can be done about it now, it is only just over 3 weeks away...
I am also not fussed about England these days, after 25 years being served with shite, I have had enough, I am very passionate and patriotic, I love my country to death, but when 11 footballers do piss all for us, then that is the point I give up on them. England have not had a good team since Sir Bobbys team in 1990 and right now I cant see another team being as good as them, better players individually, but as a collective there a pile of steaming shite!!!!!
The climate, home support, talent and previous tournament experience should stand them in good stead.
I fancy Belgium and a couple of South American teams to do well and get to semi's - saying that, that is without looking at fixtures/groupings.
The whole stadium thing is a farce. It seems like a poor construction worker is killed every week.
No idea what will happen during the tournament, but I foresee an 'incident' too big for FIFA to cover up!
