The official 2018 World Cup thread

If Neymar is disciplined the entire tournament then they have a chance but Brazil produces stars first players later these days..

If he is where majority of their hopes are, it won't be happening.

I think Germany or Brazil are among the top teams.. I'll go with the Germans as favorites..

Ze germans are not gonna do ****! they don't have an out and out striker, too many similar players in the same positions, and they just left out their best winger Sane, and lost to Austria in a friendly

the dark horse underdogs for me are Columbia (sanchez is a beast in defence, Rodriguez, Falcao, Bacca, Cuadrado etc.

Senegal and Serbia will make the playoffs too imo

I thought USA didn’t make it. Whys it in the poll?

Their presence is never really felt at World Cups. It's ancillary at best so they won't be missed.

A South American team ain’t winning a World Cup in Russia.

I wonder what the stats are on South American teams winning world cups in Europe. I’m not sure it happens.

I think I’d still put money on Ze Germans even if they have crap strikers

Just realized that Szef put them in the poll.

Szef, are you a ****ing idiot or what?
