Seriosly this world cup cannot be predicted. In reality the WC starts from the QF stage. You can win 5 games have a bad day on the QF and you are out.

I would stay out of this predicting business.. It's actually a stupid format..

I don't really rate any of the teams particularly highly, particularly in these conditions. Very hard to tip a winner.
