The Egyptian national team should be ashamed that they didn't qualify. They'll probably win the African Cup again this year and did not make it to the World Cup.
So Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Algeria, Nigeria or Ghana? I'm not sure about them. None of these national teams seem to convince at the Africa Cup at the moment, but I hope one of them (or even South Africa, who knows) surprise us all and become the first World Champion from Africa.
Other than that: Just judging from pure playing strength and self-confidence I think Spain is the clearest WC favourite in quite some time.
Although I'm usually pro-Brazil, I hope this team won't win the title in South Africa but reserve their 6th title for WC 2014 in their home country instead.
