    Yeah that's the biggest potential one but I fancy Spain to come through it personally. Similar to ours in that an upset wouldn't surprise me in slightest but I still expect to win.

    Getting the feeling that there isn't a standout team and could be a surprise winner?

    Not sure you can count Brazil as a surprise winner tbh.

    I wouldn’t say they have been standout though

    I’ve seen flaws in all the big teams that can be exploited on the day

    Ingerland wouldn’t be a surprise. Best in the world.

    Oh yeah I agree. Was obvious months ago that there wouldn't be a standout team this time round and it's quite an open tournament.

    Squad wise then the winner should be Brazil, France, or us. But I think Brazil are the most balanced and I backed them beforehand so sticking with it. Decent run of draw too.

    Brazil Argies semi will be tasty as ****.

    I backed Argies at the start and they could still yet win it. They haven't looked brilliant though.

    If you look at the 2nd string that both France and Brazil put out this week there is no doubt that England has the strongest squad.

    Comfortably. Although we lack back up at centre half and Maguire and Stones not yet been fully tested.

    Brazil have the strongest first eleven though.
