All teams are bitching about the ball, apparently it does weird things in the air. A hard to control ball will give lesser teams/players a fighting chance.
No European team has ever won a world cup outside of Europe.
But no world cup outside of Europe has been played in the same or similar time zone as most European countries.
South American teams are better prepared to deal with the climate.
Germany has too many injuries.
Brazil is my best bet.
