Na....in PaddyPower Spain and Brazil were joint favourites. England might of been favourites in English bookies due to the amount of money going on them. But Brazil are now deserved favourites.

We got a couple of good gammes in the !/4finals to look forward to.

at the start of the tournament spain were favourites and brazil second and if spain overcome portugal today in a convincing manner that will again be the case i would think...however portugal might cause an ubset.

nobody has mentioned argentina as favourites!! they have been mine since the beginning, and even before that. i reckon that we could be in for a classic final. argentina vs brazil. argentina's weakness seems to be at the back, but that could be said of most of the teams there. attacking wise, there isn't much between brazil and argentina, but i do have a feeling it will be the argies. besides, brazil have won it enough.

i hope you are right big..i would love to see maradona lead his team to the trophy say what you like about his lack of tactical awarness but those players would die for him..that said i fear they will be exposed by the stronger teams from here on in.

sure, they may be exposed a bit more now, but so will everyone else. argentina have bags of goals in them, and messi hasn't had a good game yet. but if he does, he will be the difference. it's amazing that both mascherano and maxi play for argentina. when you look at them for liverpool, they are completly different players. i suppose that says a lot for the coaches. every argentina player would run through a brick wall for maradona, and you can see that when the celebrate. it's straight over to him for the big hug. besides, it would be nice to see argentina win. most of the teams left at this stage could rattle a few of the supposed bigger boys. i also picked ghana as my dark horse befor the tournement started, but i think they will now be found out, but on their day, they will rattle some cages.
