Argentina
Like we said, Argentina were our pre-tournament favourites and not just because or Mad Maradona. By all accounts I just be wishing for the ground to swallow him up for what he did to England with the famous handball, but I don't - he got away with and so would any player, I just like the way Argentina play.
They are similar to Brazil, a little less cultured, although you could argue they are the cultural capital of world football these days with with Messi, but traditionally, less cultured. However, they have fight and we like the fight and we think that is why we picked them to win.
Germany
Germany have surprised us. They lost their goalkeeper before the tournament and Michael Ballack and were written off by many, including us, but they really are very close to a final and we know anything can happen in a final - especially one with Germany in.
They also showed against England that they know how to defend and counter and in Mesut Özil they have one of the best young players we have seen in a few years coming through the ranks.
