Biggest threat? Circumstances. Say we face a semi final against Portugal or England. (France hasn't got a team to stop Brazil.) From the semis onward: Scenario 1: We take an early goal. Try to come back and fail. One Brazilian forwarder loses his temper and is sent off. With ten men we lose. Scenario 2: Bad referee let game turn violent. Send off important players: one defender one forwarder from Brazil, plus another player for the other team. Game ends 0x0 in normal time. Go to extra time. Proceed to penalty shoot-out. Brazil loses. My prognosis: Argentina will lose to Germany. Italy will beat Ukraine. Brazil will beat France. Difficult to say who'll come up a winner: Portugal or England. England has the upper hand. On retrospect the winners are: 1st Brazil 2nd Italy 3rd Germany 4th England NOTE: I've got right 11 of the last 16 and 6 of the last 8.
