This is the worst ordered list ever. Did you even try to come up with a way it would be easy to find teams? Maybe alphabetical? Maybe by world ranking? Maybe by groups? Maybe by georgraphical location?

it looks like it's ordered approximately by the odds against winning the WC. I bet he just copied it from a sportsbook somewhere

lol
they start off just in order of their chance in my opinion,then kind of get listed by continent [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

However, if you don't know if a certain country is in the World cup, they probably won't win!

If some sportsbook really has Italy over Czech, where can I put my money down?

lol funny someone voted for the US [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Brazil, Italy and Argentina are the front runners imo, then we could probably have a semi-surprise with Portugal, Czech Republic or England.

I doubt any sportsbook would have Germany 2nd favourite.

I agree about Czech though, I think they are slight favourite to beat Italy and miss Brazil in the last 16.

in my opinion........

If England can get past Argentina in the last 8, they get to lose to Brazil in the semi which will give us English something to get excited about.
In the other half of the draw, Germany v Netherlands in the last 8 may decide the other finalist, although they will have to get past France/czech or Italy in the semis.

1st Brazil
2nd Germany/Netherlands

I can't see any african side getting through the groups, and South Korea and Saudi Arabia from Asia only have slim chances so maybe no african no asian in the last 16!

Germany is horribly overrated, even with the home factor I think they're going out very fast.

I don't think many people rate Germany highly.
