Who will win the FIFA World Cup? Why Australia could go further than you think

Spain, second under FIFA's World ranking, is widely tipped to take home the trophy, while Argentina (first), France (third), England (fourth), Portugal (fifth) and Brazil (sixth) are also considered top contenders.
Fifa World Cup: NZME experts predict the winners and where the All Whites will finish
With the Fifa World Cup kicking off tomorrow morning, NZME staff share their thoughts on how they see the tournament playing out, including where the All Whites will finish.
Cameron McMillan: I’m not expecting a first-time winner and am expecting either Spain,
France, Argentina or Brazil to be lifting the trophy at the end. Amazing Spain haven’t reached the quarter-finals since winning the title in 2010. Feel like the draw could open up in their favour if they top their group.
Alex Powell: As the reigning European champions, it’s hard to see Spain not going very far in this tournament. Spain’s style of prioritising possession and breaking teams down with a death-by-1000-cuts mentality is perfect for tournaments and with how the modern game is officiated.
