Which nations(s) are you rooting for and why? Who do you think will be the top scorer? Who will make it to the knockout stages? Who will make the best starting XI? For the sake of reading, I'll abbreviate country names.
My predictions (a little late, but oh well):
Group A - URU and RUS advance Group B - POR and ESP advance
Group C - FRA and AUS advance Group D - ARG and CRO advance
Group E - BRA and SWI advance Group F - GER and MEX advance
Group G - BEL and ENG advance Group H - COL and JAP advance
Round of 16 (this is tricky because the 1st place team from a group plays the 2nd place team in the next group)
POR and ESP beat URU and RUS
CRO and ARG beat FRA and AUS
GER and MEX beat BRA and SWI
BEL and ENG beat COL and JAP
Quarterfinals: ESP beats POR, ARG beats CRO, GER beats MEX, BEL beats ENG
Semifinals: ESP beats ARG, GER beats BEL. Final: ESP beats GER.
Top Scorer: Cristiano Ronaldo (6 goals), Diego Costa (5 goals), Romelu Lukaku (5 goals), Harry Kane (4 goals), Thomas Muller (4 goals), Luis Suarez (3 goals), Antoine Griezmann (3 goals), Neymar Jr. (3 goals), Edinson Cavani (2 goals), Sergio Aguero (2 goals), Robert Lewandowski (2 goals)
