Biggest surprise is no Diego Lopez. I don't know how Pepe Reina get's picked over Lopez. Funny.
Also in other news Januzaj has been picked for Belgium without playing a single minute of international football any level. And he plays for us baby...wohoo!

Suarez might not be 100% for the England game which is good for them and with the Italians being notorious slow starters the English could well top the group if Rooney is on fire and Henderson plays with Gerrard to re create their Liverpool form.
But I'm supporting Germany, hope they win it this time. They were unlucky the last couple of WCs but this could be their year.
Gotta say, I see no way Germany is going to win it this year. I wish I did, but Spain has an insane roster and Brazil's starting 11 is brutal as well. On top of that about half the team is or has been injured for ages now, and being fit will be important considering the climate in Brazil.
I'm betting on either Spain or Brazil, with possible surprises by England, Chile or Portugal.
Never be afraid of the obvious because it's all been done before.

Yeah I agree with you there, Spain and Brazil have insanely strong teams. They're going to be the teams to beat in this tournament. Can't say I see England winning tbh, after watching their game against Peru I wasn't impressed at all. There were finding it difficult to get the ball out of their own half at times.

Fancy Brazil myself, Spain and Germany will be there or thereabouts, never rule out the Germans! England will be lucky to get out of the group, Uruguay look very strong and we always get played off the park by the Italians. Like the look of the Belgium team as well, think they could have a strong tournament.
