Danny Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Doesn't have to be precise if you want to separate it into chunks...(can be more than 10 also...) 1. Brazil 2. Argentina 3. Spain 4. Portugal 5. Netherlands 6. Belgium 7. Croatia 8. Denmark 9. France 10. Uruguay Difficult to take Nations League into account because it's not exactly a major tournament, but also difficult to discredit some of the results at the same time. Anyway that's my list for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already had a goal conversion problem, and without Jota we have no good finishers now. I woudn't be surprised if we don't make it out of the groups.

Yes they are a good side, missed out on knock outs lasylt time bcz of the fair play rule. England took penalties to beat Colombia in KOs so Senegal is no less.

England took penalties to beat Colombia in KOs so Senegal is no less. Senegal finished 2 points below Colombia in that group though. And that was a better Colombia side than now. We then went on to beat Sweden and then reach the European cup final. Senegal could beat us but we would be favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a stand out European side at the moment so it might be Brazil or Argentina this time. I'd rather see Argentina win it as like to see Messi win the world cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Think it boils down to two really. France, simply because they are defending champions, they have the experience of going the distance and could name three competitive XI's in this tournament. There is always the question will they self implode from within. Brazil, because they have a lot of talent that are of the right age to win this now (it came too soon for them in Russia). I think there is finally a good balance to this Brazil side, solid defensively, dangerous in attack. If the winner comes from outside of those two, I'll be pleasantly surprised. Of the others, Spain don't convert enough chances for me when it counts. Belgium don't have the defence, far too frail. Argentina are still over reliant on Messi. Germany are far too unpredictable and inconsistant. Portugal's best chance seems to be shithousing their way through but i think it only gets them so far. Holland start great and then always find a way to lose a winnable knockout game out of nowhere. Croatia don't have the stamina to go the whole hog. And we're far too cautious to go out and win a tournament despite having some of the best attacking talent. Rather than be so restricted, I'd rather we go for a shit or bust attitude, if we win games 3-2 great, if we lose them, so be it. But at least take teams on than bore our way to a quater/semi-final defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything good in the world comes from there Peru* I think a top 10 is hard, because the likes of Denmark and Croatia are incredibly overrated. I guarantee we will draw or lose by one goal to Denmark - now do they sound like a top 10 side? Rubbish. I'd even consider the likes of Ghana or Senegal on par with them. Possibly even an on form Japan or Iran. Top 10 Brazil France Germany Spain Argentina Netherlands Uruguay Belgium Portugal England No stand outs this time round for me.
