My picks (in order) are Germany, Spain, Brazil, Argentina (and for my dark horse pick) Uruguay.
Until France can prove they have their shit together, I wont pick them, in spite of them having one of the best rosters.
I know that Uruguay is a wild pick, but they have a very favorable draw, and a really under appreciated roster. How many countries can really boast having 2 legit #9's? They can stay compact (with an excellent midfield) and count on Suarez and Cavanni to poach goals. I am obviously ignoring their tendency to go "full-France" and self destruct. I watch a fair amount of Copa America and Conembol qualifying, and I have actually seen fist fights break out after some games....
Golden Boot to Neymar
Surprise teams that may show up in the semis- Belgium, England, Mexico and Portugal
Can't wait....
