I understand what you are saying and agree with it to a large degree, but you should really keep in mind the final 5 teams have been responsible for 1 WC win in the past twenty years. (Italy x2, Spain, Brazil and France with the last five titles)
I think there are some fairly interesting story lines in this tourney. Can Messi get a WC to solidify his legacy? Does Brazil keep getting every call from the refs because FIFA is terrified the country would end up in a war zone if they lost? Can Germany snag a unified title?
I was really hoping Columbia and Belgium would get through, but I still think we have some entertaining soccer left.
