Top 10 Teams Most Likely To Win The 2014 FIFA World Cup

10.The Netherlands-The Dutch are in search of another finals appearance. A different result this time would be ideal. Looking for a taste of what Manchester United could be seeing a lot of? Look no further than Louis van Gaal and Robin van Persie's attack plans. If this makes any United fan more comfortable, the connection between van Gaal and his attackers created the second-best strike force in the world.

9.Uruguay -Considered a dark horse by some already, Uruguay faces a similar situation to Colombia. With star Luiz Suarez receiving minor knee surgery recently Uruguay could be out on arguably the best scorer in the world today. Still, with Edinson Cavani up front hope will not be lost.

8. Colombia - The heavily talented Colombian side face a significant blow to their title odds if star striker Radamel Falcao can't recover the knee injury he suffered while playing for Monaco. To some, this will take them out of the running. Yet, they can still pull it off. If Colombia has to go with other options James Rodriguez, Jackson Martinez and his fellow strikers will be called upon to step up. As long as the offense can continue its potent strike from the central parts of the pitch the squad should be able to create some scoring opportunities.

7.Belgium -Filled with youth and fight, Belgium could be the force no team wants to match up against. A dominant squad of youthful scorers compares to their dominant set of defenders. If their defense can reduce their late minute lapses and wing scores they can be the perfect squad.

6. Italy -Looking to rebound from an early exit in 2010, Italy looks poised to strike early and often. With a killer long range offense game the Italians will keep any team on their toes. Their staunch defense has relented a bit. Lead protection and defending from the flanks have not been their strongest qualities. This could spell trouble if they let up against England or Costa Rica. It could be deadly against Uruguay.

5.Argentina -Pressure is on the attack heavy Argentines. Playing near their home country should give them an advantage when it comes to travel and fatigue. They thrive when scoring early. If they get an early point the match could be over for almost anyone. Once they have the lead they rarely let go of it.

4.Brazil -The host nation are heavy favorites to win, as they often are. Led by Neymar, striking might be their top talent. However, it's the defense that could be the deciding factor. Brazil has a stingy defense that barely allows a goal from inside the box. If they can sure up the long range scoring, then teams will be finding goals to be rare.

3.France -They may have come in to contention at the last moment. Yet, France packs power and consistency that will make any team squirm. Even with a strong team of attackers, led by Franck Ribery, they can be slow to start. Watch out, though. They are known to pile on the goals once they get their legs underneath them.

2.Germany -Young and explosive, Germany's offense will be a handful for any squad. After averaging almost four goals a match, Germany enters the tournament as potent as any country out there. Yet, the numbers can be deceiving. If Germany faces a team that can park the bus, or stifle their inside scoring, things could get messy. That could be trouble when facing Group of Death mates Ghana, Portugal, and the USA.

1.Spain -The reigning world champions are in for a test in the group stages. If they can make it out, which they most likely will, then all bets are off. The Spanish national team's roster has to be one of the deepest. When striking from the middle, few teams can compare. Their staggering offense is one that can't be taken lightly. When they have the tiki-take working at full force, watch out.
