It's just amusing they're almost the same price. Brazil have world class players in every position in many case about 4 competing for 1 spot. England have Rooney, the former Mr Cheryl, Gerrard a.nd Lampard - though slim evidence the last two can work well together. Wes Brown, Heskey, Green, Upson, Baines, Downing, Walcott wouldn't make the 15th XI for the Selecao. Even Capello can't turn water into Chateau Lafite
quite amusing idly reading you gents opinions on brasils lack of quality defenders and berating their goalkeeper . brasil have never bothered defending and their goalkeepers have been rubbish or average at best . their philosophy has always been ...you score 3 and we will score 5 .and i dont need to remind you that this has worked in the past

Julio Cesar arguably best keeper in the world. Lucio and Juan are a proven combination at CB with Luisao and Cris being solid back up. LB is not quite as strong as it was but any of Bastos, Marcelo or Maxwell will be an attacking threat if nothing else. At Rb, Rafinha won't even make the squad, but would be in the team for any other side.
Nilmar impresses me and Fabiano and Pato offer different options. And any combination of Kaka, Robinho and Ronnie (if selected) will create chances galore. Ramires will be a star imo.

Semi line-up should be Spain Germany Brazil, but Uruguay Ghana looks a banker to run to et. Can't believe Argentina are favs against Germany. Argie defence is dire and just hasn't been tested in the games to date.

I think Argies will edge out Germany. I know the defence looks a bit dodgy but so does Germany's imo (especially Neuer in goal). Argies a bit superior up front.

Firstly good early call on Brazil and England, almost the same price???Wish I had seen that back in April.
I keep hearing people say that Argentina are weak at the back, so much so that it is in danger of becoming aa bit of a stock phrase that is being knocked about a bit. I'm not saying that theyt are solid at the back but I think people are over emphasising this and the real point is that they seem pretty damn good going forward!!! I think the Germany game will go close, but I suspect Argentina will come through in the end.
I still see Brazil as the team to beat overall mind, let's hope so.£££
