I’ll never put it past France to implode Zissou isn’t on the pitch to singlehandedly drive the rest of those divas
Brazil's attack is incredible but I just dont trust their back line when it comes to the knockout rounds. Went with Spain because of their overall talent (from the attack to mid to back line) and De Gea in goal.
What about surprise teams? I wouldn’t be shocked if the teams below make the quarters or semis. Uruguay: I don’t know what it is about tournament play but they are so dangerous. Senegal: I think they will be very solid and can sneak in Colombia: Can James carry the team? Croatia: Arguably the best midfield in the tournament. Mexico: I know, I know.
The only concern is RB. Center backs are solid and Marcelo is the best LB in the world. I don’t think a backup RB is enough of a concern for this loaded squad.
This whole issue is overblown in my opinion. Dani alves was on his last legs. And sure, while its a downgrade, I don't think it's as big of a problem as people are making it
Do we have any Belgians? This is very nice. https://www.worldsoccershop.com/shop/adidas-belgium-originals-jersey-2018_A1012984
probably a 3 of coutinho-casemiro-paulinho when playing smaller teams and fernandinho-casemiro-paulinho when going up against the bigger ones. Needs more creativity in the midfield imo
Mexicans are in rooins. Team was caught partying with hookers earlier this week at their hotel, and now one of their better players and vice captain, Hector Herrera, has left the squad today for unknown reasons
/ the speed of Willian or Costa and Jesus/Neymar will get them their chances, Firmino and Coutinho are certainly nice weapons to come off the bench with the latter midfield
How I rate the favourites 1. Brazil 2. France 3. Spain 4. Germany 5. Argentina 6. Portugal 7. Belgium 8. Colombia 9. Croatia 10. England Healthy Neymar and Brazil is the toughest out in the tournament for me. France is either going to rout everyone in napoleonic fashion or flame out in hilarious spectacle. Spain probably the most balanced and consistent of the top 4, and it feels like an in between tournament for Germany where half of the starters have likely lost their edge and the next generation is two years away.
because he was born to argentine parents and moved out of france as an infant. dude doesn't even speak french.
I agree with your premise but if you make the list something as cut and dry as birthplace you have to include him.
These types of lists should always be where the player was raised as it's more relevant to where they were brought up as footballers.
God FUCKING damnit we’re not in the WC. Got really fucking sad driving into work yesterday thinking about it. It’s starting to get sooooo real.
The way Neymar has come back from his injury is making me rethink not having faith in Brazil going on a run
SRSLY. If you haven’t at least got misty eyed over this shit than you deserve to get fuccked. Fucking damnit
