Brazil beats Argentina in the final.

England and the US eliminated in the first round.

Also, I'm lousy at sports predictions.

USA got the group of death. Their best performance remains in 1994 when they lost a squeaker to Brazil.

It feels like being a Yankee fan right after Mantle and Maris were gone

World Cup Guide and Prognostics @ BBC Sport - World Cup 2014: BBC pundits predict what will happen in Brazil

Brazil and Croatia tied at the half.

Brazil dominating possession but will have to get better if they are to fulfill my prediction in the OP.

Brazil 3 - Croatia 1

Good start for Brazil!

Brazil was the better side, but they were given the typical BS host penalty that used to be so common in the World Cup up until the 1990s.

Ugly game I would have taken 2-0
