Predicting winner according to kit sponsor.

[Tamagotchi]

As far as my predictions go I think the winner will be a team wearing Adidas.:erm:

My motivation:
1998 - France - Adidas
2002 - Brazil - Nike
2006 - Italy - Puma.

So I'm guessing the winner will come from the Adidas Stable as things have come full circle, and the most likely are Argentina/ Germany.

Other than this conclusion it's difficult to predict a winner.

What about other manufacturers? England should have won as Umbro has not been a winner yet

England are out and what other brands remain?

Umbro is owned by Nike now.

It will be an Adidas winner, Argentina.

Umbro is owned by Nike now.

Yip, I am aware of this, however...

Mr Makin said there was "no prospect" of the Nike "swoosh" logo supplanting Umbro's diamond on the England shirt. However, the current contract with the FA expires in 2014, raising the possibility that Umbro could stand aside and let Nike secure the next England sponsorship deal.

"Nike has provided firm assurances that the FA relationship with Umbro will be protected and enhanced, and we look forward to working closely with both companies moving forward," Mr Barwick added.

Ok, ok, I get it, but I see them as one company, like the Adidas Reebok merger/buy-out.

A little late , but anyway

So 2014 could be Brazil or Netherlands.
