What will be the world cup final game?

Holland v Spain 22/1  - thats where my money has gone

Argentina vs Spain.

Argentina to win despite Maradona taking off Mascherano and Tevez with 10 minutes to go

I just think Spain will be there.

I can see Argentina or England facing them.

Then again, you never know with the WC. It really wouldn't surprise me if a team like Germany or Italy end up being there despite being pretty much ruled out.

I have got Argentina V Portugal

Brazil v Italy

England v Spain

Spain v Argentina for me.

Holland vs Brazil final

Spain v Holland.

Spain for sure

Holland/England

don't think Spain Holland will happen unless either/both ? finish second in their group.
Going by form Holland will play Brazil in the QFs and if they win Spain in the semis.

My money is on Spain Germany or Spain England

Italy - Spain.
Italy to win despite spain being far and away the best team in the finals.
No latin american team to reach the semi finals...big gamble that but we need a huge story this world cup.
England and ivory coast or germany to contest the 3rd place

Holland - Spain.

And after watching Spain against Poland, I'm certain Holland will win

Brazil v Italy.

Brazil v Argentina

Holland vs Brazil final

I said the same

Kuyt to score, Brazil to win 2-1

Spain v Brazil.

Think we'll come third or fourth.

England and Spain.

Carra to score the WC Final winner

Argentina - Spain, extra time win for Spain.

I can see Spain being there. The other team - could be anyone out of at least 5 countries.

My money on NETHERLAND to lift the cup. They r strong, no spotlight, no pressure.

SPAIN - favorite, the pressure will get them. Like to see them win thru, Torres & co.
ENGLAND - don't think they r good enough to lift the cup. They r good but not enough.
BRAZIL - Maybe, they r always there.
ARGENTINA - Another maybe, the dark horses.
GERMANY - Possibility, discipline & work hard.
Champion should come from above team.


The rest, don't think they stand a chance.

I hope you're right zz19a. Do think there's pressure on our team though, always is.

Let me get this straight.

Germany have a squad worse than England's (whose squad is the third best in the tournament) yet they have a chance to win?

Your inconsistency shows no bounds.

I can actually understand that though Reslivo. Germany almost never have the best players, but they're always a team with the right workrate and spirit, they're proper tournament fighters. When you look at the last 7 World Cups for instance, Germany ended up 5 times with the last 4. Guess how many times England ended up in the last 4 during those? England often have great players, but they haven't lived up to their potential as a team in recent years. I do personally rate you among favourites though.

New Zealand for the WC.

On a serious note, i think Spain and Holland.
Spain has got a great squad, but in the end it depends on how every team plays.
Its football, anything can happen.

Paraguy and South Korea hopefuly!! The two teams i drew in the sweep stake at work

Germany's most influential player is Ballack - that says it all about the German team.

No longer a force, in my opinion.

I wouldn't rate England high amongst the favourites, but we do have a small chance of taking it.

My ratings would be:
- Spain
- Brazil
- Argentina
- England

Spain v Argentina. Our Nando to score the winner.

Ballack was their most influential player in 2002 and 2006 too, and they finished these WCs with silver and bronze medals respectively. 3 of the countries you mentioned (Argentina, Spain and England) had better squads and bigger names but didnt go as far. Argentina, for example, went out in group stage in 2002, and in 2006 many people saw them as favourites after that 6-0 win vs Serbia in the group stage, but they ended being knocked out by... Germany, who, btw, only 2 years ago were Euro finalists.

I agree Germany dont look that good but I'm with Dexter, I wouldn't write them off so soon. That's a lesson I take from history (One of my favourite football games of all time is the so called Miracle of Bern - the WC 54 final)

I don't see Germany as favourites, but they're still solid in every position, no weak position. And some very talented young players in Boateng, Ozil, Kroos, and Marin. They might not have many big star players, but they always have teamspirit and the right workrate and mentality. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they do well.

I'll wager £1M it won't be France v Uruguay.

At a guess I'll go Spain v Argentina.

Brazil and Agentina would be a hell of a battle, thats my prediction.

I would probably want to kill myself if we lose, but I'd rather see this final happen (with Brazil winning of course) in 2014

I think it will be Argentina V Brazil in the final.

I'll go for an Argentina win, nothing at all to do with the fact that I have them in the sweep 

I went for Holland v Argentina, with the Argies taking the cup.

Holland v Spain 22/1  - thats where my money has gone

have to say, that was a good shout! did you put any decent money on that?
