Starting from Germany 2006, the winner of the past World Cup had to qualify for the Finals. Only the host nation qualifies automatically from 2006 on.\n\nThe following teams, shown by region, have qualified. The number in brackets is the country's seeding for the tournament, this value is a calculated based on historical world cup results, last two (2002 and 1998), and historical FIFA World Rankings, last three (2003-2005) [1].:\n\nAfrica (CAF) \n Angola [31] (first time qualifier) \n Côte d'Ivoire [27] (first time qualifier) \n Ghana [30] (first time qualifier) \n Togo [32] (first time qualifier) \n Tunisia [22] \n\nAsia (AFC) \n Iran [21] \n Japan [12] \n South Korea [11] \n Saudi Arabia [19] \n\nOceania (OFC) \n Australia [28] \n\nSouth America (CONMEBOL) \n Argentina [7] \n Brazil [1] \n Ecuador [23] \n Paraguay [15] \n Europe (UEFA) \n Croatia [14] \n Czech Republic [16] (first time qualifier as Czech Republic) \n England [2] \n France [6] \n Germany [4] (host) \n Italy [8] \n Netherlands [10] \n Poland [20] \n Portugal [17] \n Serbia-Montenegro [24] (first time qualifier as Serbia and Montenegro) \n Spain [3] \n  Switzerland [25] \n Sweden [13] \n Ukraine [26] (first time qualifier) \n\nNorth America, Central America & Caribbean (CONCACAF) \n Costa Rica [18] \n Mexico [5] \n Trinidad and Tobago [29] (first time qualifier) \n United States [9]

The 2014 World Cup up to now would be held in Brazil, but here is other candidates:\n\n-Argentina & Chile\n-Ecuador & Colombia\n-Australia\n-USA\n-Mexico\n-China\n\nThese are the most potential candidates to the 2014 World Cup. As you can see, this cup has to be in The Americas, Oceania or Asia. Because on 2018 is going to be in Europe, and the potential candidaes for that cup are:\n\n-England\n-Spain\n-Russia\n-Netherlands\n-Portugal\n-Switzerland\n\nThis is all what is known up to now.

No doubt brazil will be the hottest favourtie but don't forget about germany the host! They're strong once in the finals. Remember last world cup? They're mediocre in the qualifying rounds but fought to the final but lost 2-0 to brazil. Italy ain't bad also and watch out for argentina with lionel messi as their new engineer. These are the 4 potential winners, i believe.

Brazil has a good chance but also Germany has a good chance so it's going to be an interesting world cup.

Chances are that most likely it shall be Brazil.  They have the best team in the world, including arguably the best player Brazil has had since Pele in Ronaldinho.  A solid performance should give Brazil the trophy.

Argentina! I think they just might win the World Cup this year. They are not the team I am rooting for but after having watched them play they look very good to continue onto the semi-finals.

So far Ecuador, Germany, England, Portugal, Argentina, Netherlands, and Brazil. I think Korea definatly has a good chance of advancing.

It's got to be Germany this year!\nThe home countries always seem to overachieve when they host the tournament. Plus- Germany had the talent to win it all anyway this year.
