The results are in! We asked Cablefax readers and social followers which team they thought would win the World Cup. The majority (34%) thinks home team Brazil will win. The next two favorites are Argentina (21%) and Spain (14%).

The U.S. only got 4% of the votes. But don’t discount the Yanks yet. A great win over Ghana on Monday clearly boosted the team’s confidence. Meanwhile, 2010 champions Spain has underperformed (with a 5-1 loss to the Netherlands) and Germany, which only received 6% of the votes, is looking very strong after trouncing Portugal 4-0.

As we reach the conclusion of the first round of games, has your vote changed? Who do you think will take the title NOW?
