Administrator Stan Posted November 16, 2022 Administrator Posted November 16, 2022 Who do you think will win the World Cup? Favourites are Brazil. Shortly followed by Argentina & France. Further back are Spain, England, Germany, Netherlands.
Gunnersaurus Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I voted for Brazil but I think it could quite easily be Germany, Argentina or Spain. I don't think there is a standout team.

Azeem Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 It's good for football if Brazil or Argentina win it, a break from the Euro centricity of the sport.

France missing some key players (arguably). I think Brazil could do it this time round. If France had Pogba/Kante in, I think they'd be closer to challenge Brazil. As it is, I think Brazil just scream 'strong' all over their team. Their attacking options are just ridiculous - Neymar, Jesus, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr, Raphinha, Richarlison, Martinelli. All top quality. Midfield is very strong - Guimaraes, Casemiro, Fabinho. Even Fred I can see having a good tournament. Defence is quite old, but then does that experience help them through? Dani Alves and Thiago Silva won't play every game but their experience off the pitch will help massively. Alisson & Ederson are two of the best keepers in the world as it is. I'd love Argentina to do it so that Messi can retire with a World Cup to his name, I can see them getting to a semi-final as a minimum, but not sure if they'll win. South American teams are likely to do well to in the heat and can probably adapt/acclimatise quicker. https://bolavip.com/en/world-cup-2022-simulator
Waylander Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 I've gone for Spain. Not confident in any and Spain were poor last time out yet think they might have a good run this time. No Kante for France though they will still be strong.

Bluebird Hewitt Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Wales clearly. With Bale around and Kieffer Moore showing Kane up, it's obvious really.
Happy Blue Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 It's probably going to be Brazil but have to believe England can do it, on paper we have a great team with Foden, Kane, Bellingham, Phillips, Rice, Mount, Saka, Stones, Walker, Grealish, Maddison, Sterling ..it's not too shabby, biggest weakness is Southgate, ah we are going out in the knockouts aren't we
Lucas Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Think it will be Brazil simply because it feels like it's their time again, but hopeful if England don't win it, Argentina do for Messi. It's literally the only thing that Ronaldo lovers/critics of the game beat him with a stick, so to say he's emulated Maradona and done it for Argentina would shit them all up. Not that he has to prove anything to me but for him, I'd love to see it. That would he the 2nd best result other than England shithousing their way to glory.

That is more critics than Ronaldo lovers bcz Ronaldo also gets the same slack, both have a below par record at the WC judging by their standards. Both should really now score at a WC knockout game.

He'll have a competent midfield next to him so he might be alright

Brazil are lucky they've got good midfielders so they don't have to really rely on him, because at the moment I don't think he's reliable. Having said that, I also picked Brazil. Like you said, they're strong all around.
Devil-Dick Willie Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Brazil suck ass and won't make the final.

As opposed to dogshit European teams or dogshit Asian teams? You fucking know you'd say the same thing about Spain or Korea if they were favourites, it's because you're contrarian.

The good thing about being a contrarian is that people are fucking stupid and just by betting against them you have better odds of being right.
