World Cup 2014 - Who will win it?

World Cup 2014 in Brazil has begun and with so much anticipation also comes pressure.

For SB and JM, 2 men very familiar to pressure - this scenario is perhaps like nothing they have dealt with before.

SB takes charge of Argentina. With his main man Messi in his line up, he knows he has a team that can go all the way. But can he get them to perform and gel. Friendlies pre-tournament showed he had a lot still to do. For the people of Argentina, nothing but bringing the trophy back home will be acceptable.

And playing in their own back yard in Brazil - the expectation is even more intense. To add to the pressure, SB's recent results in club land caused much debate in Argentina whether he was the right man to take charge at this time. However his pedigree and list of achievements won him the job. Now he must perform once more.


United States' head coach Jurgen Klinsmann attends a press conference before a training session in Recife, Brazil, Wednesday, June 25, 2014. The U.S. will play Germany in group G of the 2014 soccer World Cup on June 26.
"I love pressure" SB talks to media pre game in Brazil
For JM, well he couldn't have a tougher assignment. Taking control of Brazil - at home - with the weight of a nations support - it can only be described as intense. However, the most successful manager in PS4 history was an obvious choice for a country who could not afford to take any chances this summer.

As we kick off - this is so much more than just a rivalry between men - this is a rivalry of nations.
Who will lift the trophy - Argentina or Brazil?
