So, just had a punt at a miserable 10/1 for a Brazil vs Argentina final. Tempted momentarily for a tenner on Brazil Colombia final at 75/1.

Brazil have won 7 of their last 8 games - 23 for and just 3 against. But Colombia as a possible 1/4 finals would be a cracking match.
Argentina have an easy group. And even if they win or come second in their group wont have to head to the sweltering north for any matches. So they'll be fresh. And be close to home with 'home' support a plenty.

Brazil and Argentina have faced each other a whopping 89 times since their first international in Buenos Aires in 1914. Amazingly the overall scores are tied at 33 wins each and 23 draws.

    Really fancy Argentina.

    Think Brazil might crack under the huge home expectation.

    Spain will obviously do well, and Germany's midfield will take them far.

    Think this will be Messi's time to rule the international stage.

    Don't think Brazil is a given. They will play Spain or holland in 2nd round so one big team will go out early.

    How about a repeat of the 1950 Maracana trauma of Brazil-Uruguay?

    I've got a feeling there will be no European teams in the semi finals, the South Americans look so strong and home turf gives them an extra advantage.
