Make your predictions here.

Spain is the bookies' favorite.

France not far behind.

Perennial losers England is rated for some reason. As is Portugal.

I got literal money on Germany. Lewwe see how that goes, If I win I shipping 25yr old El Dorado to one and all 😀

this WC is a hard one to predict as the African, Asian and South American are all tough and are capable of unseating all of those favoritely touted European teams.

Ivory Coast beat France in a warmup.

USA was all over Germany in a warm up and just couldnt finish.

Spain was held to a draw by Iraq.

Portugal looks the best of the UEFA teams to me but even they didnt look convincing against Nigeria, a team who didnt qualify. Germany looks clinical in attack but defense shaky.

A South American team will win this World Cup. Argentina favorites to retain followed by Brazil and Columbia. Also Ecuador cannot be overestimated. Ecuador is very good.

I got a lil change on the Samurai Blue ..... ⚽

@VIX

heart saying Brazil....head saying France Spain and Portugal. Argentina has a personality cult around Messi and players almost willing to take a bullet for him, so you can't count them out, as we saw in both 2021 Copa America, the WC that followed and the copa america two years later. they ain't getting as many penalties as 2022, could guarantee that. Senegal, norway and Morocco can be banana peel for any team

for brazil, I'd be satisfied with a qf place and a hard fought quarterfinal. anything above that is a bonus to me anyhow. they have not had the best preparation. ancelotti came in one year too late, the two people(the pigeon looking dude and the mad man who was interim coach) from before him were quacks.
