Anyone going to be placing any bets on the games?

Can you place bets in bitcoin anywhere? That would be cool.

Podolski and Klose are not ethnic Germans they are Slavs both born in Poland. They moved with their families to Germany when they were little kids. They play for Germany and got German citizenship of course, but they are not ethnically germans.

I am afraid that you are wrong there. After the WW2, the 1 million ethnic Germans living in Poland were subjected to forcible Polonization. They had to change their surnames, and they were banned from speaking the German language. Once the iron curtain fell, many of these people migrated to Germany under the Aussiedler/Spätaussiedler program.

That is true that Germany has many good players. But only like 1/3 of them are actually Germans.

That is not true. Only a minority of the players are not ethnic Germans (such as Shkodran Mustafi, Dennis Aogo, Sidney Sam, İlkay Gündoğan, Mario Gómez, Antonio Rüdiger.etc). If you are referring to players such as Lukas Podolski and Miroslav Klose, I have to say that they are ethnic Germans, although born outside Germany.
What if someone is born outside Germany and his both parents aren't German? Will you still say he's German, just because he currently lives there?
Imagine you move to Jamaica for 10 years, will you suddenly become Jamaican? Your nation is determined by your parents, a Chinese will always be Chinese, even if he lives in Korea for 30 years, just as Podolski, whose parents are Polish.

And you mentioned like 6 players (and there are more) who are definitely not close to being ethnic germans. I like their team but just accept that there are not really many ethnic germans in that team.

Altough I hope that Holland wins, I think that Germany will win the world cup. They have a really strong squad.

If it isn't Germany, it will be Brazil.

I'm going for Germany and Spain final. Brazil and Argentinia will make it to semis.

Again... what makes you think that Germany will beat Brazil in front of all those supporters in Maricana? I will be surprised even if Germany qualifies for the Semi Finals. Germany might reach the QF. That is it.

I'm not sure about the current form if Chile. I figured the teams would be pretty evenly matched (with slight advantage to Chile for being in South America).

Teams such as Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay might have an advantage while playing in Brazil, but I don't think that Chile might be having a similar advantage. The climate in Brazil is quite different from that in Chile.

Holland is in a group with Spain, Chili and Australia. Will be touch and go to even survive the first round.

Chile is not in good form lately, and Australia is not a strong team. So my prediction is that Spain will top the group winning all their matches, with the Netherlands ending as the runner-up.
