Besides Brazil, Group E is pretty open as far as I see it. Could easily be Costa Rica taking the 2nd spot as it is for Switzerland and Serbia

I have to say, I can't see beyond Germany for the tournament. The Belgians have a strong side, I admit, and Portugal and Spain look strong too, but they all have weaknesses. I can't identify any in the German team.

They don't do well if it turns into a battle :cautious::barefoot:

But I agree, I am torn between Germany or Brazil to win it. Most other I talk to say France or Belgium but never agreed with them.

I've wanted a Germany v Brazil final ever since the 7-1. Would be the ultimate final story.

They've gotten to the last 4 of every Euros and World Cup since 2002 with the exception of Euro 2004. They're a machine in these tournaments. I can't see past them either.

Let's see how this Costa Rica team pans out. Remember them four yrs ago beating Uruguay, England and Italy for the group win

Costa Rica is less than half the size of Iceland. BBC Sport spouting lies about Iceland being the smallest nation to feature in the WCFinals.

Half the size is more adequate. they're about the same in population
