    I'm surprised by the popular opinion that it's basically a head to head between Brazil and Argentina to win. Brazil I can understand, but Argentina are vulnerable at the back and I don't know if it can be cancelled out by their strength up front all tournament.

    I put my bet on a Germany win earlier in the thread so I should probably stand by that, but Reus is a massive blow for them. Over the past 6 months he's been in "one of the top 5 players in the world" kind of form, and I thought he was going to set the World Cup on fire. Sad. 
    I don't think Brasil can do it either. There is way too much pressure on them to perform. But Spain style and hot climate (compared to Germany at least) has me thinking they could retain their crown , despite me thinking they wouldn't do well earlier.

    Starting to worry for Alonso's ability to get a good result in. Same goes for Hulkenberg. Alonso is getting old and was cast aside like a rookie by Button in an inferior car. Hulkenberg is always solid, but his problem and a pattern of sorts is that whenever something crazy happens, it's Perez who can capitalize on it much more than Hulkenberg. In fact, the Hulk is yet to score his first podium. Being in the position to take advantage of when the status quo are screwing things up is also a quality and Hulkenberg really needs to show it if he wants to eventually get a spot at a top-team.
    I agree. I think Alonso's time has passed sadly. I think he should join Mark at Le Mans next year tbh.

    Reus is injured.....If he misses the WC that's a huge blow for Germany in a team where they only have 1 top  striker (who is like 34). Reus isn't a striker, but he scores a lot. 
    ANOTHER player injured ? Wow. Anyways Muller scores plenty of goals too though. Still Reus will be a huge blow.
