Germany for me too. Impressed by their national set up of turks, Polish, Austrians and Ghanaians and the odd German.

 

I have been impressed by the French this tournament too, thought they would implode and be out in the first round, like us!

Mostly Turks me thinks, and from what I experienced over there they tend to integrate well.

Anyhow it has to be Germany for me. The sum is always better than the individual parts, every time they turn up. Proper team. Germany v Holland final.

8 remain and the dream Germany Argie final is still alive though i think it will end today with victory for the French. Very shaky at the back Germany and if they persist with Lahm in midfield and the awful Howedes at full back its goodnight

There was something on 5 Live last night about how France should have been one of the lowest ranked teams in the entire competition because they'd qualified via the play-offs and yet just before the draw, when they should have been in a group with two other seeded teams, they were allocated 'pot four', which meant they got a much kinder draw:

"It had been expected that England would remain in pot four and that France, as the lowest ranked European team, would be grouped with the African and South American teams in pot two. That team could not then be drawn against Switzerland or Belgium – the weakest of the eight seeds – and would have to face one of the top four South American teams as well as another European country, such as Italy or Holland. Sepp Blatter, the Fifa president, went into little detail when asked yesterday why France had not been automatically placed in pot two.

Difficult to decide between Argentina and Belgium. Belgium have only played well once and Argentina haven't been much better.

 

I'd like Columbia or Holland to win it, rather than the usual suspects. Although if Holland win it, will that leave England as the biggest underachievers in world football?

That's my thinking, someone new to win it.  Can't really see Costa Rica doing it but either of those two could.  Not too sure about Belgium, OK but nothing special as yet.  I want Germany to win later but have  a feeling France might do 'em especially if they get an early goal.  

 

And yes, yes it would, sadly:)
