Spain are justifiably most people's favourites to lift the World Cup in Rio as Vicente del Bosque's reigning champions continue to occupy top spot in the Fifa world rankings ahead of Germany, Portugal and hosts Brazil.
西班牙队是世界杯上最受欢迎的球队，也是世界排名第一的球队。西班牙队当然有理由领跑世界杯成为最受欢迎的球队，因为这只由博斯克执教的卫冕冠军球队击败了德国队，葡萄牙队以及东道主巴西队，又一次在国际足联（FIFA）的排名中拔得头筹。
Argentina, who are many people's dark horses to go all the way with the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and Angel Di Maria in their squad, are currently ranked a surprisingly low seventh, behind South American rivals Colombia (fifth) and Uruguay (sixth).
坐拥梅西，阿奎拉和迪玛利亚等优秀球员的阿根廷队被许多人视为夺冠的黑马，但出人意料的是阿队目前排名并不高，只占到了第七，低于南美对手哥伦比亚（第五名）和乌拉圭（第六名）。
Belgium, who have entered what some are calling a golden era of rich young talent, are also tipped to do well, although the Fifa rankings have them 12th in the world, a place behind Roy Hodgson's England. However, any team possessing the likes of Eden Hazard, Vincent Kompany and Moussa Dembele will not remain outside the top 10 for long.
比利时队也很好，这只球队不乏年轻而又天赋十足的球员，一些人说该球队已经进入了黄金时代。虽然在此次国际足联的排名中比利时队落后罗伊霍奇森任教的英格兰队一名，只排到了十二名，但任何一支拥有阿扎尔，孔帕尼和登贝莱等优秀球员的队伍都会很快挤进前十。
The highest ranked team in the world rankings who won't be present in Brazil are Ukraine.
未出战巴西世界杯的世界排名最高球队是乌克兰队。
