For me it has to be Italy because of their perenially boring catenaccio system and , of course , Germany. They have consistently won or reached finals by playing a very boring although efficient style of football. 
Apart from that I shall be hoping for a few shocks like the last WC ( France/ Italy getting beaten by "lesser" sides)

Brazil ,for me ,love there football ,wouldn't it be great if we could beat them ,hopefully we'll meet later on ,excellent attackers ,but really poor defensively.
But if all goes to plan either the czechs or italians could knock them out.

Another vote for the Germans.
Hopefully an entertaining side wins it, but tbh I can't see that happening as has been proved in previous tournaments.

Another vote for Germany. Effective, but dull. Also their shameful play acting in 90' brought a dismal close to a reasonable tournie. Sadly, they seem booked to do well once again despite serious deficencies.
Italy are another. Can be superb, but far too often are cyncial and dull. Them to win - no thanks!
Brazil I love to watch, but three wins out of four? Boring.
Anyone else I'm happy to cheer on.

Another vote for England,but only because if we did win Sven would go down in history as a legend when all he has done is bluff his way through his reign and whore himself at every available worthwhile job going.
