He says "Brazil is favorite to win World Cup. They'll take advantage of playing at home. I would like to see one of my teammates(Thiago Silva) winning it." If only Diego Costa choosed Brazil over Spain  Unfortunately, they don't have a great striker.Germany will win as long as they dodge Italy. Maybe Argentina can go further than expected if both Messi and Aguero gets momentum. oh I also hope that Tiki Spain Taka eliminates early so that we can watch a real football. | ||

Both Germany and Italy will have problems with their pressing style because it is F* HOT and WET | ||

![[image loading]](http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BApzLSJCMAAlP9z.jpg:large) What an awesome picture. Materazzi and Zanneti are fighting over Henry's kit. Let me repeat the names again: Materazzi and Zanetti Number 14 is the coolest number ever. Johan Cruyff, Henry and Misugi ^_^ | ||

It's the lower hemisphere, temperatures are lower than the rest of the year and precipitation isn't that high either. Humidity isn't going to be that bad in at least Porto Alegre, Curtiba and São Paolo. The other cities are likely going to be a nightmare though, but the southern Europeans shouldn't struggle too much. | ||

Germany got some really hot places for the group stage, but the biggest problem is that Brazil is huge. Players will be playing in one place and only a few days after will play somewhere with a completely different weather. Germany for exemple will play in Recife and (if they get first in their group) 4 days after in Porto Alegre. | ||

A year ago or something like that i really thought Germany has a shot at this but our coach is just bad. He has almost no rotation, does weird roster decisions and basically just copys the tactic from other guys. 2010 he was highly influenced by Van Gaals Bayern, 2012 he played like Jürgen Klopps Dortmund and currently the last few testgames were just copycats of what Guardiola is doing currently which is a fluent 4-1-4-1 with Lahm as a central midfielder which would be horrible in the national team.. | ||

Those are actually really nice. Adidas makes some really nice hooped kits, like this season's Ajax away kit. | ||

Lahm lacks physicality to those two At the moment I think the biggest concern will be injured players/players just returning from injury with little competitive games before the world cup. TBH I'd also prefer to see Lahm as a left/right back; not because I think he's better there, but because we seem to have more good players as alternative in midfield than in left/right back. | ||

I gotta say though, great respect for Icardi. He took a shot in the face and didn't even flinch. | ||

He is not to blame if he copies Guardiola's system because most German national players are from Bayern and therefore are used to it. Especially Lahm, who has been playing DM almost all the time under Pep, would have a hard time re-adjusting to his old position again. Pep tried that against Arsenal and immediately changed it back during halftime. Additionally the offensive Bayern midfield players are well attuned to this system with Lahm playing DM. Please also consider that Khedira and Gündogan will most likely miss the WC. Besides, I agree that he rotates too little. Or let's put it this way. He likes to stick with his favorite players for far too long. | ||
