This is too early because of the match ups, eg if Italy finish second in their group they will most likely play Brasil in Rd 2. \n\nIn a nutshell, it is quite hard for all the big teams to make the last 4, that's why there is always a surprise team. \n\nBut for betting purposes, one may be forced to choose early on, the prospective semi-finalists.\n\nMy selection currently: Italy, Germany, Serbia & Montenegro and Argentina.

Maybe the 16 rounds or semi finals but not world cup. \nI think they are not experienced enough to win the world cup. Maybe over 4 years.
