Germany can’t see anybody coming close to them
I would say that overall we don't have much luck in international tournaments.If Belgium win the group they will probably get done by Brazil in the quarters. It will be one of the hardest matches Brazil would have to face to get to the final. I still think they will win it.
I can see a good performance from Argentina, not so convinced about Spain or France though. I wouldn't want to bet against the Germans but I'm not that sure myself as they seem to be stuttering a bit. Portugal will hopefully have a return of karma from the Euros where they didn't win a game in 90 minutes other than against Wales.
Basically everyone please be shit and let England fluke their way to a decent finish.

I know we had the Hurst goal, but on the flip side you look and see the Maradonna handball, Lampard's goal that was way, way over the line, Campbell's disallowed header, the penalty spot giving way under Beckham's foot etc.etc.
The list is almost endless. In addition to those you mentioned, Polish keeper having a stormer, Koeman not being sent off, the ball looping up over Shilts, Gazza's toe almost getting there, not conceding a goal but going out on draws ... a bit of luck and things could be so different. We have no divine right to win, but those who have will have likely had favourable decisions. Only one can win and 31 nations will be leaving empty handed.I would say that overall we don't have much luck in international tournaments.

That's what you call a football ball match.Portugal v Spain live right now, the world cup start now for me.
The team's that have played so far have been dire.
I love football ball matches even more than just football matches.That's what you call a football ball match.
A hat trick and a Burge moment.
Not like the rubbish in the all the other games.
I think you could be right, can't see any VAR going against Russia, after all the referees want to go home in one piece.My money's now on Russia winning it.
That's if there's enough funds in the vault of course.
Be interesting also to see if an order has gone in lately at the ministry for a box of balaclavas.
May all be irrelevant anyway. If Egypt beat Russia, and the host country are knocked out (they'll lose to Uruguay) - Putin will probably cancel the tournament and kidnap all the foreign dignitaries - then blame it all on Otis and his wife.
Then we'll bomb them? ?My money's now on Russia winning it.

Nope. Something more subtle.Then we'll bomb them? ?
Let's see if they play half as well as we did against Notts County.Anyhow If this thread is about who will win the WC get your money on Argentina ,they're wearing Skyblue and White stripes.
If it isn't then apologies.
I'll say this for Southgate, he seems to be the first England manager in a long time that actually looks like he wants the job. Maybe that might just count for something
Spain are their own worst enemies.Gutted to see Spain go out as Russia are shite. Croatia are my outside bet.
Spain are their own worst enemies.
They could have easily won that game today. However, they went one up and started strolling about, merely retaining possession.
They could have killed the game off with a second goal, but seemingly weren't busting a gut to do so.
Agree, Spain got what they deserved, NOTHING. :emoji_wave:Spain are their own worst enemies.
