Germany and Brazil are identified as top contenders for the current World Cup. Germany's massive investment in a 25-million-euro training camp in Brazil signals their intent to win, while Brazil is viewed as a "necessary" winner to quell domestic rioting and civil unrest caused by the high cost of stadium construction. The social pressure to make the Brazilian public feel the sacrifice was "worth it" is a key factor in the prediction.
