    Argentina.

    Failing that, Germany.

    Failing that, England. Come on, got to have some faith even if Smalling is in the squad...

    I can't see past one of the South Americans unfortunately! Maybe Costa Rica/Mexico to have a run to the Semi's. I think a lot of people fancied Belgium when all those players started coming through, their 'golden generation,' but I think most people realise it's too soon for them & I don't think they'll be that good, maybe Semi's if they get a lucky draw, but don't see them much past the quarters in reality.

    I'd definitely look towards Euro 2016 for Belgium.

    Look no further than Brazil, Argentina or Spain.

    Outside chance Germany.

    No chance: Everyone else.

    I went with Spain at 7/1. Surprised they're fourth favourites, think their ball retention qualities could prove important in the conditions.

    Argentina. They have a piss easy group and the best attacking force at the tournament. I'll be having a punt on them.

    Brazil or Argentina.

    Dark horses for me: Uruguay (might well win our group), Ivory Coast, perhaps France.

    I think it will be a South America team, Brazil or Argentina, though have a sneaking feeling Uruguay may do well.

    England at 33-1 has to be worth a fiver.

    If our front players show up then we could give a lot of sides a tough time.

    You'll have plenty of opportunity to burn your money next season, mate. Keep the fiver in your pocket for now.

    Argentina - not only a very good team, but an easy group and all of their group matches are in the south where it's cooler - everything in their favour.

    I think Belgium have about the best 11 from a European perspective.

    Rooney and Sturridge both have the quality to score against the World's elite.

    I know we won't win it, I just think we'd be in that "if their main players show up then they'll do well" group. Along with sides like Uruguay, Portugal, Italy and France.

    Not yet. Germany's is still better, so probably is Spain's.

    Like I said earlier, Belgium will be a greater force come Euro 2016.
