The World Cup deserves its own thread. We can talk all things World Cup here! Madridistas Expected To Go To The World Cup France - Benzema, Tchouameni, Camavinga, Mendy Spain - Carvajal, Asensio Brazil - Vinicius, Rodrygo, Militao Germany - Rudiger Croatia - Modric Belgium - Courtois, Hazard Uruguay - Valverde Let's cheer on our players!
Argentina will win the world cup. Messi is in great form and the the whole team works like a unit forming a true companionship. They haven't lost a game since 2019. This is the year they win it. I will bet 1000 EUR on it. It's got to be Argentina to win it this year.
Weren't you the one that bet against Real Madrid in every round last season in the Champions League? I'd say this is bad news for Argentina. Our starboy Vinicius is lifting the hexa for Brazil
Thanks for the thread Miami. I was thinking we should start one dedicated to the tournament. Also thanks for listing all the groups and our players who are going.
Couldn't care less who wins. Never been less interested in a World Cup. Hope it's a colossal failure in terms of quality of play and organization because that's what FIFA deserves. Hope our guys come back healthy.

Looking forward to working from home in front of the TV and having at least an eye on every single game. I want Brazil to win it.
I hear ya. But it likely will be a success especially with games during some holidays here in the US and really great match times for Asian countries. My biggest thing is that our guys come back healthy and that Argentina doesn’t win it. Lol
Chegou… 💫 DEUS é tão bom comigo. RUMO AO HEXA 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🌟 pic.twitter.com/nugaEAdfhX— Rodrygo Goes (@RodrygoGoes) November 7, 2022
Tough for Firminho to miss out. I think he should've gone over Martinelli given the gazillion wingers Brazil have. But the coach probably believes he has the false 9 covered with Rodrygo
Hopefully all our players crash out in the group stage so they can be fresh for the second half of the season.
The funny thing about the World Cup is it is absolutely the biggest competition in sports, period, but it’s not really the highest level of play in its own sport. Like I said elsewhere still can’t believe they decided to put a World Cup in a tiny petro statelet and then moved it because of statelet’s shitty climate. But I can’t help myself, I’ll watch. USA USA USA
I'm getting more and more excited for this WC. This is a strange season, where you can see that players are saving themselves for the WC, trying to avoid injuries etc. It's hard to get excited for our regular games pre-WC, knowing this. So, anyway, I'll try to watch most evening games and, if work permits, some of the afternoon ones. Will skip any and all the pre- and post match shows of (politically correct) hypocrites.
I was born and live in Canada still for the time being(I'm originally Croatian/Bosnian) but genuinely hope Canada loses all 3 group stage matches in a colossal deficit. Instead of staying quiet and being happy with any points they could possibly somehow get their "analysts and experts" are claiming that they have a better squad than "old" Croatia and that it should be an easy 3 points(saw this on TSN yesterday which is like ESPN in Canada). They've been saying the same garbage since the draw and are sticking to it. Genuinely incredibly unlikeable fanbase who just made their second world cup after 60 years. They should be happy if they don't lose all 3 games and end up with a negative 10 GD.
Anyways what do you guys think about midfields at the world cup? I'm trying not to be bias but I don't see any midfield that can even touch Brozovic/Modric/Kovacic this year.
