Brazil (the only team to have played in every World Cup) are the hosts of next year's World Cup (and also the 2016 Olympics) so they have got to be the overwhelming favourites... |

Scary times for sure.
Nah. Experts have said it is unlikely that all-out war will break out. There is going to be no WWIII for the time being. |
