Which country is looking good this time? Is Brazil as strong as ever? Does England show the promise? The Germans, the Italians, the Argentinians... are they still perennial favorites? Is it time for Asian tigers to shine? Or will there be unlikely new comers such as the Americans, the Australians, even the Canadians (are they even competing?) who will prove their mettle? Please... someone, enlighten me. Every four years, my love for real football rises, like the secadas in their season.
