Group A is difficult because none of them are bad teams... I would say Brazil winners and Mexico second
Group B: Spain are the obvious favourites. Then are the Netherlands but I don't think Holland have the quality this year so I'll go Spain 1st and Chile 2nd.
Group C:I don't see any of these teams going far but I think Japan might surprise us this year. Japan 1st. Ivory Coast 2nd
Group D: Only one thing is clear in Group D. That is Costa Rica are not getting through. Due to Suarez's recent injury I think Italy 1st and England second.
Group E: France certainly haven't brought there best team into the world cup but they have an easy group. I'm going to say France 1st and Ecuador 2nd.
Group F: Argentina has the best team it's had in years. But you can't count Nigeria out of it for one second. Argentina 1st (On goal difference) and Nigeria 2nd.
Group G: Germany and Portugal are the only contenders. Germany 1st and Portugal 2nd.
Group H: Belgium 1st Russia 2nd.

Using these results the winner for me would be Argentina.
2nd is Germany. The losing semi finalists are England and Italy.

Top scorer: Thomas Muller

Lol, USA wins CONCAF qualifying as top seed over Mexico, and gets that group as reward? Not fair.

Germany will destroy them.

Finally, they have been at the top long enough.
Nah jk, but I must say, I was a bit disappointed when it came to the last game, their play felt so uncoordinated.

I hope their neighbors Portugal are that uncoordinated on Thursday.
