4) ….expect a South American team to win
A South American team will win the tournament

The obvious choice to win are Brazil. And its difficult not to agree with the consensus. A massive list of global stars (Silva, Alves, Neymar, Oscar et al), a partizan home crowd, and the momentum they have carried from the Confederations Cup (which they won in impressive style). It all adds up for a spectacular home win.
However, two more of the four South America competitors at the next World Cup could feasibly go all the way. Argentina, of course speraheaded by the mercurial Lionel Messi, and Colombia led by goal machine Radamel Falcao both could do some serious damage as an outsider. Certainly I fully expect Brazil and Argentina to reach at least the semi-final. The circumstance and the squad sheets both point to a South American win this summer.
