I know its a little early to be starting this thread just yet. But since Japan have just become the first team to qualify (other than the hosts Brazil) I thought it would be a good time to get everyone's predictions. Who do you think will win the World Cup? Who else will qualify, who wont make it, and do you have any dark horses that you believe could go a long way. I think it could be full of surprises, teams like Belgium and Japan could go long a way and upset some of the big teams. I think Brazil might just win with them being the hosts, though I think Germany will have the best team. It will be interesting if those two were to meet in the semi finals and give one of the smaller teams, such as Belgium, a chance to 'shock the world' and get to the final. I don't expect England to get very far (as much as it pains me to say it) maybe the quarter finals but no further than that.
