England are 7th favourites according to our own bookies but I assumed we were being over-rated because the odds were shortened due to the bookmakers reducing liabilities as naturally lots of optimistic/drunk Englishmen put money on England to win. Though for once we’ve got a team rather than a collection of individuals, unfortunately we are a bit short in midfield and defence. Still, you never know. Incidentally, the top 4 in the betting cannot meet each other until the semis if they all win their respective groups, which is why it’s hard to see past one of them for the win. I’d say Brazil if pushed - Tite has actually organised a watertight defence to go with the traditional Brazilian flair in attack. |

Yes, understatement. Us Italians are walking around with our heads down during a time when most of the world is setting up for this. It sucks. I will be watching with some interest regardless, but not with so much passion. I am trying to figure out who I should cheer for. Good luck everyone.

Well since my countries men’s team sucks (but our Women rock) I don’t have a dog in the fight. I guess I’ll root for England. They have some players I like. I wouldn’t be upset if Germany won it tho

Was looking a the betting and not really sure who to back, I feel it's pretty open this year with no standout teams. I'll see which three teams I get in the family sweepstake.
I'm a little bit optimistic about England for some reason, maybe because in Harry Kane we have our best player since Gazza, and he's probably the best striker in the world, all those ahead of him in the betting are more no 10s really and play for teams expected to go deeper than the group stage. We have a lot of fast support players from Man Utd and City and we may just be able to rip thru teams for parts of a game and if Kane can put a few away and our defence can hold together who knows, we may see a Quarter final again. |

From a punter’s perspective I think the value bets are Belgium and Uruguay. Great odds for both and the Belgians can put out a side that is, as you say at least on paper as good as anyone’s. Shame they’re managed by Premier League basement reject Martinez.

Will be backing Germany like I always do.
The only year I didn't back Germany, I backed Argentina, it was Germany vs Argentina in the final... Doh!

Nearly time to rock out “World in Motion” and “Three Lions” and start playing them on an endless loop in the car to and from work.

Jeez I’d forgotten about that. Keith Allen was in the video if I remember right and it came out for Euro ‘96 alongside Skinner, Baddiel and the Lightning Seeds. I was 15 and that was nearly a great Summer. Damn you Germans with your ruthlessly efficient penalty skills |

Keith Allen actually wrote it too, and Baddiel and Skinner's was not the official 96 song, it was actually Mick Hucknall's. |

It is probably now or never for Messi - we shall see. His performances on the national team haven't been amazing thus far, but that can all change.

Well I'm a Man Utd fan and Ronaldo had many of his best years with us and won us a few Premier Leagues almost by himself so we love him, but still he's not in Messi's league, only Maradona and Zidane are for me, best three players I've ever seen, but those two produced in WCs so they do have the edge over him... for now.
