I've got Brazil and Germany tied, with Spain the third favorite, followed by Argentina.
While somebody like France could get hot my gut says it might be Brazil's time far from home and pressure/distractions plus the x-factor which is payback for their 7-1 shellacking by Germany 4 years ago in the semis in Brazil.
Spain has the no 1 goalkeeper, center back, and a loaded midfield but they struggle at striker. Diego Costa doesn't have any form and while he's ranked 8th coming into the tourney at his position I'm not sure he can find the net. That said I don't think anyone wants to play Spain for they definitely have the pieces.
Spain-Portugal kicks off the tourney in 10 days. Russia baby.
