I can see your underpantsI like France
With the injury to Fabregas, Spain will be hurting a bit
Beckham is out for England...
So I honestly don't know England will fare without the manchild himself
Argentina, had trouble qualifying and they have an terrible coach in Maradona. But they have the best player in the world in Messi, and some of the top scorers in Europe like Higuain, Milito, Tevez, etc. Just by talent alone Argentina should get to the quarters.
Brazil-- has been playing good football, but not great football. They are not the dominant teams of yester year.
Spain-- is a well oiled machine, they have not lost a qualifying match and to me they are the team to beat in the World Cup.
Other teams from South America to look out for:
Chile--- They are playing very good football, and under coach Bielsa they are force to be reckoned with.
Paraguay--- Had a great qualifying campaign and has very dangerous offensive players.
