  2. England, Brazil, and Spain having better odds to win the world cup than Germany just makes me laugh. Spain have done nothing since winning the Euros in 2012, Brazil lost the Copa America final to an average Argentina side, and England lost the Euros to a country that didn't even qualify. Germany are playing proper German football once again under Flick, gagenpressing, creating chances, scoring goals, and plenty of youth, how their odds are so low is just criminal, not saying they will win it but their odds are an insult.

  5. These corrupt analyst are all talking a bunch of dogshit. You mean to tell me a team that has Sadio Mané (Liverpool), Edouard Mendy (Chelsea), Kalidou Koulibaly (Napoli), Gana Guèye (PSG), Ismaila Sarr (Watford), Boulaye Dia (Villareal), Sabaly(Betis Sevilla), Bouna Sarr (Bayern Munich), Nampalys Mendy (Leicester), Cheikhou Kouyaté(Crystal Palace), Bamba Dieng( Marseille), Pape Guèye(Marseille), Abdou Diallo (PSG) can't rival the likes of Brazil, Argentina, France, England, Spain? The wake up call will be rough on these arrogant analysts I swear.

  8. Brazil are always a strong side but like nearly all the South American teams an ageing one and they might fall short again. The World Cup has not been retained for sixty years and France look just the type to not break the momentum. I would fancy the winner to be one of Spain, Argentina or Portugal for the first time.

  10. england! lmao. what is peoples obsession with this small nation. You may as well say n.macedonia are favourites too. Theyve won 0 in 60 years. They have one more trophy than san marino in their entire history. And dont say "oh but they got to the semi and a final in the last 4 years". In 2018 they faced no top nations, scraped thru colombia on pens and were beaten by an aging croatia side that had gone 3 consecutive games of 120 mins. Last years euros was a home tournament, no travelling, no foreign fans (those few that did make it were abused) they cheated, dived and laser-pointed their way to the final and were beaten by this italian side. Their is no other nation on the planet that has done so little but is consistently ranked so highly.

  17. France don't look that ready if I'm being completely honest. They're made to be favourites because they won the last World Cup, no other reason. There is the World Cup curse, where the winner always gets knocked out in the group stages. It could feasibly happen again with France. They got knocked out by Switzerland in the Euros remember. As to Brazil, I don't get why they're so high on the rankings? They were disappointing last World Cup, and they didn't win the last Copa America (losing to Argentina, why aren't Argentina higher after just winning the Copa America?). They have 'star names' but generally speaking world cup winning squads require balance (Spain, Germany both great examples) which I don't think Brazil has (as they showed in 2018). Besides, a European team almost always wins the World Cup because Europe produces the best midfielders and midfields are what win you titles. IMO look out for England, Germany and Spain. A lot of the time you have to look at how teams have changed since the last World Cup. I would say that Spain, Germany and England have all improved (with lots of great young players in all three), whilst France, Brazil and Belgium have all declined.

  21. Lol why do people always put England as favorites. They play scared and their style is not suited to win tournaments. Its a team of individuals still figuring out how to play together in an English style that is not match for more possession/tactics based Spanish, German, Dutch game.

  24. I truly like how everyone is simply saying oh yeah Brazil, France, Germany are favorites.
    every time and every time they get chosen guess what happens, they get knocked out.

    I have seen France play they are not ready for this WQ 2022 the way that they are playing am not convinced sorry a lot of arrogance in there.
    that is what happens you win WQ and the hunger goes away quick. Just because you won it doesn't mean you can do it again!

    Am gonna say this WQ is gonna be won by a surprising team that nobody would give them the chance to do against all odds I promise you that.
    Again France are barely gonna survive in the group stage why they don't have enough creative players Pogba is out of commission Camavinga not ready for that stage.
    You need more than speed to win a game you need brains, heart, bravery, and consistency which teams as
    England
    France
    Germany
    Brazil

    All lack when it matters i have seen it over and over again.
    Just because you have superstars don't mean you ga go all the way.

    Whoever wins it, is gonna sweat like crazy and fight like a warrior.
    and does teams don't have that enough?

  25. Brazil is so not a favorite in my opinion. They have a very weak bench and their top players are very far from their top level (Neymar, Marquinhos, Fernandinho, etc). I think Spain may be a surprise if they end up with an easy draw. Germany will also be very revengeful, I would watch out for them. Argentina is the big unknown.

  26. Bit early for predictions but I'll give it a go. If Spain can get Ansu Fati fit and firing I think they'll have a real chance. Super midfield and a solid defence. I don't fancy Brazil at all. Neymar is a disruptive influence and I just don't think it's a vintage Brazil team. France could do it and I have a suspicion Germany will go deep this time with a top manager. England will come up short again. Southgate is not a top coach and they have a weakness at centre back and keeper. So, with the above caveat, I'm going for Spain.

  30. Brazil, France and Argentina at the top
    Spain, England, Germany, Netherlands Belgium contenders
    Denmark, Portugal, Uruguay, Ecuador, Senegal, Egypt, Algeria probable surprises.
