Yes a great achievement but winning a South American world cup would top the other 3 wins.

Do you think Spain will lift the WC in Brazil ?

Who knows but they have to be amongst a select few who have a realistic chance.
It`s out of Spain Brazil Argentina and Germany for me.
I will go with the those 4 teams you mention for the semi's, I don't disagree with the bookies which is a Brazil v Argentina final with Brazil winning and Spain and Germany losing in the semi's.
Just shows what a good chance the South American teams have in South American when their teams are expected to contest the final, although Spain have won 2 Euro's and a World cup they are still seen as having a less chance of winning this WC than Brazil and Argentina.

The Dutch have been the best ever performers on this continent. They seem to like it there. However I expect some more scincilating performances and them to be robbed yet again when the crunch comes.

I don't think it has anything to do with it being in South America - it's just a matter of timing. If the 2010 World Cup would have been in Brazil I still think they would have won it and lost this one, wherever it was played.

You can't say they failed 'the acid test', as if winning it in South Africa was just a warm-up. :?
