    @bovidae mea culpa. My only mitigation is overarching stupidity

    KP, are you running your World Cup tipping contest this time? If not then as defending champion I'm quite happy to retain my title for another 4 years!

    Latest odds for outright winners - Russia should be much higher than 61 although their group is an easy one (mainly because they are in it!). Hard to see the winners coming from outside that top 4 to be honest.

    Brazil 5.00
    Germany 6.00
    France 7.00
    Spain 7.00
    Argentina 10.00
    Belgium 11.00
    England 19.00
    Portugal 26.00
    Uruguay 26.00
    Croatia 34.00
    Colombia 41.00
    Russia 61.00
    Poland 81.00
    Denmark 101.00
    Mexico 101.00
    Peru 126.00
    Serbia 126.00
    Switzerland 126.00
    Sweden 201.00
    Senegal 201.00
    Egypt 201.00
    Nigeria 251.00
    Australia 301.00
    Japan 401.00
    Morocco 401.00
    Iceland 401.00
    Iran 501.00
    South Korea 501.00
    Costa Rica 601.00
    Tunisia 751.00
    Panama 2001.00
    Saudi Arabia 2501.00

    Russia are the lowest ranked team (70th) so very generous.

    Switzerland play pretty boring but I’d like them to do well if only to see how much Switzerland can actually do “excited”.

    Based on 200,000 rounds of EA Sports? You'd hope they checked it by running a few simulations from 2014.

    Cheers, clearly my culling of Wendyball fan friends has worked a treat to the point when I don't know when it's on - now if I could only cull boganpalooza fans as well ;).

    But seriously, go Portugal, assuming they have made it.

    Might jump on that bandwagon.

    Might have already mentioned I want a new winner. Who's the favourite who is not:

    • Brazil
    • Germany
    • Italy
    • Argentina
    • Uruguay
    • England
    • France
      or
    • Spain
      ?

    I won't watch any of this, unless Belgium get to the final - in which case I will jump on the bandwagon, head over to Brujes to watch it and support them.

    If they don't capitulate then I'd put Croatia in the same bracket as Belgium. A fantastic team on paper but they don't always perform when required.

    Most have France vs Brazil and Germany vs Spain in the SFs.
