I’ve been tipping Argentina as well but that’s not really based on anything other than Messi and that I l always like them and their radgeness. Are they actually any good and likely to be serious contenders?

Dark horses for me are Japan although I don’t really know why, I think they’re in a group with Spain and Germany? I fancy Germany to have a stinker and go out at the group stages.

I think you won't be far away on this though I'm going for Spain and my dark horse team would be Mexico .Reasons being I think there will be a few teams that will handle the climate better than others out there. Originally Posted by JohnM1875

I can’t say I have much enthusiasm for it and will be watching very little. It will actually be good to forget about football and VAR for a while.

The have a very good squad yeah. Can’t say I’ve seen loads of them either but I think it’s also partly to do with their route to the final. Potential brazil semi but they should beat other opponents put infront of them. But world cups often throw up weird outcomes. The stats about previous holders not making it out of the groups at the next WC is very surprising Originally Posted by bingo70

England if I'm right have a easy enough time till they get to the quarter finals were they will probably meet France .Always a danger they will win something with the players they have now though I think some of there squad selections aren't possible as good as they could have been .

If France get ahead of themselves like they did at the Euros and did in 2002 then it won't be them. I hope they avoid that and turn in the master class they're capable of.
Although in their group, Denmark will be worth a look as dark horses. Qatar were mentioned above and unfortunately that could prove correct.
I've not seen comment about the USA Iran match. That was a hot enough potato in 1998 when things were calmer and the match was in Europe.

Sneaky feeling that Croatia will do quite well. Modric still one of the best midfielders around and they have a number of players playing in top leagues

Would like to see Messi and Argentina win it but I think Brazil are real good things for this.

I’m not so sure about England this time. Their recent form is pretty poor (relegated from Nations League) and Southgate not quite sure of his best team. Wales will give them a right go and I wouldn’t write off USA either Originally Posted by Donegal Hibby

Think Brazil look pretty weak in the full back areas, apart from that strong, Portugal have a strong squad for me.

England have some excellent players Foden , Kane etc and a large pool of players to pick from but for some strange reason they just don't click as a team ,often wonder if the English media puts extra pressure on them with all the media hype .Wouldn't rule them out though.

I think they lack a quality centre midfielder that dictates the tempo of games. They’ve got lots of quality players all over the pitch but that’s where I think they struggle. Originally Posted by Donegal Hibby

I also think there’s not a massive amount of strength in depth up front, if anything was to happen to Harry Kane or if he doesn’t play well then I think they toil.
They’ve definitely got enough to get past the weaker sides and even beat the odd big team on their day, I just don’t think they’ve got enough to beat two or three big teams in a row.

Argentina. For three reasons
1. they’re unbeaten in 3 years, 35 games, and closing in on Italy’s record.
2. messi deserves a World Cup
3. I’ve supported them in every World Cup since 1990 ( I was only 4 when the won it in 86). And I deserve it
