| Having a look there and some decent odds. Spain 7-1 is a cracking price. Spain to win and Diego Costa top scorer 66-1. Like the latter one a lot. Going to spread a few bets anyway and make it interesting |

Brazil & Neymar Top Scorer double is 40/1 for me Columbia 35/1 is a good price but because of the brackets are worked they'll have to upset Brazil in the Quarter finals.

Chile and Colombia as dark horses. The form of Messi would concern me if I was an Argentinian fan. Personally can't see a European team winning it. The climate would favour the South Americans. Hence why I'm going for Chile to win and Aguero top scorer. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

I can't see Chile getting out of their group. I think Spain and the Dutch will get the top two spots in that group. Maybe having the Aussies as their first game will be an advantage because they can take an early lead in the group. ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

Possibly, I certainly wouldnt discount him. But for someone to be topscorer you need him to be the teams main goal scoring threat. Like Ronaldo in 02, Baros in 04, Kluivert on 2000. |

Because: 1. Messi is in the worst run of form of his career. 2. Higuain was stretched off this weekend and may not make world cup 3. Argentina have a soft group. 4. Argentinas tactics focus largely on attack. 5. Sergio is fresh due to the injury layoffs this season. 6. ...Sergio is fockin amazing!!! ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class."

Wrote a piece for a blog last week looking at World Cup winners and temperatures. Only on three occasions has a team from a colder annual climate gone to a warmer one and won the World Cup. If you take Spain out the equation, given the World Cup in South Africa was played in the Winter it's only two. Personally I think the money will be in the South American teams as their use to conditions. |

The Argentine WC was held in Winter. |

That's an interesting table but it's a little misleading as well. For example, the mean temperature in the States might be 7 Celsius when you factor in the likes of Alaska, Minnesota etc but most the games in that World Cup were played in soaring temperatures well above that figure.
Having said that, I do think we could be looking at a South American winner. Mainly though because the S.A teams are looking stronger than usual for this WC imo. Chile and Columbia were both pretty impressive in qualifying and alongside Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay that's a fairly strong bunch. Spain, although still outstanding, are slightly past their best at this stage and Germany's lack of a world class striker could derail their challenge.

A lot of people saying Aguero due to the fact that Argies play Iran and Nigeria it be a good bet but Edin Dzeko is 100-1 with PP and is in the same group he is Bosnia's main man scored 10 goals in qualifying can see him banging in a few against Iran and Nigeria |

Agueros fitness is the first thing that puts me off, the 2nd being I think Argentina will share the goals around the team a bit more. That doesn't rule out messi for me though with him taking penalties. ------------- Oh Poland we loved you..... |

I'm looking at falcao for top scorer at 40/1 as I think colombia will get to the semis (10/1) which means they will also have the 3rd 4th playoff (possibly) and these games often have loads of goals. I've also gone for a Germany/Argentina final at 11/1 and with Spain to win at 7/1 it would be silly not to throw on a sneaky €20. The other bet I've looked at is the player of the tournament I like Reus at 40/1 but I have considered messi 8/1 and sweinsteiger at 22/1 if he's fit. I've got no bets on brazil as most of them are fairly low odds and I think neymar and Fred will share the goals between them |

I know I had a look. But having watched him this season I'm more than Sceptical on him. He has scored in 3 Belgian international games in a total of 27 appearances. He'd have to up the ante majorly from that. ------------- Oh Poland we loved you..... |

Disappointed with their odds but I'm going to back Argentina and Germany to win it out. Can't decide between them. Will do top scorer too, Ronaldo at 14/1 looks very tempting.

Best in Europe? Hmmm. Along with the Swiss, they had the easiest group. They also have an incredibly weak and inexperienced defence, have a very average midfield with many key players on the back of a bad season, including RVP.Add in a manager who has his mind elsewhere and always falls out with someone, a regular Dutch trait at tournaments and you have a lot of problems.
