Polonius3: If Spain, Grmany, Italy, Brazil, France, England or suchlike win, it will be old hat and dullsville. Only a victory by Poland or some other dark horse will add zest, variety and excitement to the event.
We had a dark horse winner in 2004, and they were universally regarded as the worst team ever to win. In fact, the Spanish victory in 2008 was regarded as being as providing "zest, variety and excitement", not least because they finally fufilled their promise and won a major tournament. England winning would certainly bring excitement, given their terrible record since 1966.
Then again, you're not likely to watch anyway, are you?
(and Brazil? Polonius.....)
