I'm torn between Brazil and Argentina. It'll be hard to beat Brazil in front of their home fans, but I do think they are over reliant on Neymar. Argentina have 3 of the best players in the world in Messi, Aguero and Di Maria as well as some reliable, experienced players such as Mascherano and Zableta.
I reckon 3 of the semi finalists will be South American as Uruguay will do well too. Not sure if they can win it though.
England will go out in the 1st round.

Don't get me wrong, Messi is supremely gifted and exquisitely skilled but in Barcelona, for much of his career, he has had the benefit of xavi and iniesta feeding him balls and now Neymar's been added to the roster. It's sad to see a great goal scorer like Neymar has been neutered; now nothing more than a ball boy for Messi.
CR on the other hand has played in inferior teams and dragged them all into championship finals, his run with Real Madrid is almost unmatched and what he has done this season is sheer greatness. Not to mention CR dragging Portugal, kicking and screaming, single handedly to the WC Finals.
CR > Messi....just a bit.
