    I’d say we have a chance to get out. Really don’t mind our group but we can easily go 0-3.

    Giving Brazil 1 in 4 odds to win the World Cup is a little dated. They’ve not played quality opponents in how long since covid?

    They destroyed South America in the qualifiers. 14-3-0 is beyond ridiculous.

    What about circa 2002 world cup? Brazil is weaker now than in 2002 but countries like Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Uruguay seem to be much stronger now than back then.

    Though I’m not sure if we’ll have a stronger South America than 2010-2015 ish when you could argue Colombia, Chile, and Uruguay had golden generations.

    Brazil isn’t very good, but agree every team has flaws.

    I don’t think France is over rated, they just have more collective talent than anyone. They will likely self destruct due to egos.

    You won't have to resort to conventional TV to keep tabs on the 2022 World Cup. Fox Sports has confirmed it will stream all 64 World Cup matches live through its app. The first match takes place November 21st, when Netherlands and Senegal square off at 5AM Eastern, but you'll have to wait until 2PM to see the US team compete against the winner of the UEFA playoff taking place in June (either Scotland, Ukraine or Wales).

    This is better coverage than you might get with conventional broadcasts. Fox proper is only airing 35 matches, and it's placing all but one of them into three time slots (10AM, 11AM and 2PM Eastern). You'll need FS1 to watch 27 group stage events and two round-of-16 competitions.

    Every day for the first 2 matches of group stage there are 4 time slots (ET).

    5AM, 8AM, 11AM, 2PM.

    That is just the only 5AM match they’re showing on actual Fox, the others will be on FS1.

    The human rights equivalent of the most downvoted comment in Reddit history, the EA community team justifying heavy pay to play barriers to unlock major characters in Star Wars Battlefront 2 (Vader, Luke, Yoda, etc): “The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.”
