I would think Germany has an excellent chance with a very deep bench of talent and a strong, disciplined style - Brazil although a strong team, is far too inconsistent for me.
I'm just looking forward to seeing some great soccer and have set my PVR to record all the games.
Teams like Portugal and Italy are disappointing to watch and seem to advance by squeaking out ties and marginal performances tournament after tournament yet they seem to finish high.
Ronaldo's antics and crying will be entertaining to watch as we watch him wave his arms in protest every time someone pushes him off the ball.
Maybe he will do a little bit of rolling around in pain grabbing his ankles too - that will bring joy to me.
