Prior to the opening ceremonies, my buddies and I made a list of the top 8 favorites. And in this order, they were: 1. Brazil 2. Spain 3. Portugal 4. Netherlands 5. Italy 6. Germany 7. Argentina 8. England We had to pick an outside team to win. We thought it would be fun to root for an underdog in addition to our own favorites which I have covered elsewhere. My outside pick was Mexico. Nobody said Switzerland. That's OK. Switzerland may give us an underdog to root for going forward, although USA is my first outside pick. I just didn't think they will go further than Mexico.
