Question - if England don't win the world cup, who would you choose to lift it instead?
For me - the Dutch. Should have won it at least once by now, and always play decent footie.
Failing that, the Brazilians. Never a disaster for footie for them to win it.
What would be the worst outcome? Well obviously a home victory would be pretty annoying. But worse than that - way worse -

Australia. (Particularly if you live in London...)
