My guess:

England to get moved to Pot 2 and to draw Spain, Chile and the Netherlands
First time in a long time England won't have massive media pressure on them, but I doubt that'll change their performance. Quarters at max for me.
As for winners, I think Brazil and Germany will have got better but will still be behind Spain, who should have one last hurrah with Xavi and Iniesta at their peaks.
I also think Belgium and Chile will do really well, really like their teams. Supporting Costa Rica also, behind England because of Oviedo |

That would be great, but it's unfortunately impossible. The European nation that moves from pot 4 to pot 2 have to face a South American nation from pot 1.
Chile and Ecuador can't face a South American nation from pot 1 as well.

It's pretty obvious that England will win so there's no point the rest turning up.

Brazil or Germany to win. Brazil in home soil will be incredible and the Germans are just machines. Spain are good but were not exactly miles ahead back at the Euros, and since then everyone else has got better, while they have not improved in the same level.
Most interesting part of the draw will be the pre-draw for Pot 2. It could make a huge difference to a couple of teams chances and play out in the end with big significance. Also now it's not just about your opponents but your playing locations.

Go Brazil! No votes yet for them (before mine)?
Germany and Spain to be the toughest opponents for them.

I wonder if I can quickly join a professional team, then play for Australia in the World Cup next year. I'd probably be our best player ! Maybe I'll wait 'till 2018  (I'm 13)

I wish Belgium would survive the group round, but Germany to win overall. But Colombia or Japan would be neat  |

You'd be close to the best player yeah. Interesting to see how Australia does with the new manager in place. Hopefully more than route one football...
Apart from Australia I'll be cheering for a Brazil - Germany final.

Looking forward to the World Cup.
Knowing the luck of the Dutch, I'm pretty sure we'll end up in a group of death
Oh, and the poll sucks, almost everybody votes for his own country, better'd be who do you think will win the WC
Feyenoord(football) and Kelderman fanboy
