Germans probably sneak through now, but look poor and are relying on a 90 year old and the German Glenn Murray up top. Spain proved they’re not quite as frightening as they looked when beating Costa Rica. They’re easy on the eye but lightweight and look worse than us at the back (never good seeing a centre mid as one of your starting centre backs). Still France for me from what we’ve seen so far. France look the team to beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried you genuinely believed they were getting distracted by rainbow bands and sore knees from all that kneeling. Distracted or disaffected?

The sports master at BCGS (played for Horwich RMI) organised a trip down to watch them train - not this game. A memory which will stay with me until I peg it.

True. Brazil look a far better overall team to me but maybe that is the hip pocket talking. Can't be arsed checking the permutation possibilities but a Brazil v France final looks like it should be the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Germany need to be eliminated imo Yes they’re propping the table up however in the knockouts they will improve and give anyone a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underpants Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I will get huge satisfaction when Brazil get knocked out. A nation will be on suicide watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nation will be on suicide watch. How can you not like Brazil? No one plays the game the way they do (although I do remember a dark period in their history when they tried to be 'European' with Dunga in midfield etc.). Their sheer exuberance makes them a must watch for me. Hopefully your huge satisfaction will come in 2030. I can see them winning this one and the next one.

Think will come unstuck. When a nation and team are so convinced on their ability and destiny then it is bound to go o pear shape. I can see the pattern unfolding now.
