Name The Finalists - Brazil/Argentina Price: 4/1 Having already established that Brazil are the hot favourites, a lot of people's other pick is Argentina. Can't decide between the two? Simple! Place a bet on both of these teams to reach the final, which at 4/1 is a great price. With these teams being drawn on opposite sides of the brackets, the possibility of this final was quickly marked the 'dream final' and given a lot of air time. Could you imagine this hot-blooded, South American rivalry taking centre stage in a World Cup final, that's being held in Brazil?! It's positively mouth watering, and looking at the teams left in this competition, you'd have to say that it's the most likely to happen. Having already discussed Brazil's chances, let's take a look at how Argentina have fared so far in this tournament. Like Brazil, they haven't been particularly impressive in the early stages of the competition, but that hardly matters when you have arguably the biggest asset in world football; Lionel Messi. Messi's moments of magic have been dragging Argentina through the previous games and even in the last round, in which he didn't score, it was his fantastic run and pass that made the goal possible for Di Maria. When he's in this form, you'd really struggle to back against Argentina beating Belgium, and then (probably) Holland and making the final. The resulting Messi v Neymar match-up is intriguing to say the least. If you fancy these two power-houses of world football to make the final, then 4/1 is an absolute steal for a final that almost seems like it's destined to be.
