Brazil, Germany or France. Brazil's starting XI is frightening and the other two could field 2 or 3 teams each that are capable of making the quarter finals. I don't fancy Spain at all. This one might have come a couple of years early for them. Argentina have been rubbish for years. A couple of superb forwards but as a team they've looked clueless and are lucky to be there. For an EW bet with decent odds I'd back Croatia.
Russia are terrible. What are the odds on them not scoring a goal?
Uraguay at 33/1 is huge. Not saying they'll win but very good team at decent oddsLook certain on the route to quarters then just need a bit of luck.
VAR, Vardy and the Vichy.And England v France final would be amazing. Imagine the xenophobic chants we can add to “two world wars and one World Cup”
Can I add this to the I told you so thread?
If they've got God in we've got no chance.Very good shout. They do have the best player in the world in their back 4. 33-1 was ridiculous odds really with Godin and their forward line.
Yep. It's how I feel too. I think we can beat anyone.I have Brazil in the sweepstakes at work, which pays runner up as well. Which is lucky considering IT'S COMING HOME!!!!!
This World Cup has been a cracker, I'm really trying not to get carried away but I can't stop thinking about the opportunity of making it to a semi/final. I can't see how we're going to have a better chance.
I'm not arrogant to say we're better than the teams in front of us, or we should be beating them but rather that, we can.
England will never have a better chance of reaching a final, assuming we can overcome Columbia tomorrow.
Really hope they play with the intensity of the first 20 mins against Tunisia. If they do, I can't see many teams containing Kane. Just have a sneaky feeling there is a heroes story being written for Raheem Sterling somewhere down the line.
Would be great. The lad clearly has bags of skill. He just barely ever shows it for England.England will never have a better chance of reaching a final, assuming we can overcome Columbia tomorrow.

I voted England, but did have Belgium to get to the final in the predictor thread.Just thought I'd bump this up for review now that Brazil have been sent packing along with the Germans......the 2 sbt favourites by a country mile.....
....i voted Belgium :emoji_kissing_smiling_eyes:
The bandwagon lot who keep shouting it's coming home are starting to do my head in.
The woman who rang up 606 afterwards summed it up a bit. She gushed a lot about how wonderful it was but how inadequate she felt listening to R5 as "everyone has so much knowledge" whereas she "doesn't really like football" but is "so happy".I chose Germany on here but some money on Croatia but realistically think it's going to be the winner of France/Belgium.

Belgium were my tip at the start and still are. England Belgium final, well lose 2 or 3 nil.
France were my pick before the tournament, but if England get to the final, I’m flipping that because I’m not capable of going against my team!

Bandwagon lot? What are you on aboutThe bandwagon lot who keep shouting it's coming home are starting to do my head in
Think he means 'the country.'Bandwagon lot? What are you on about

I certainly wrote Southgate off, but didn't, the team.Those who either don't normally watch football and only come out of the woodwork when England plays well, or those who wrote Southgate and the team off beforehand, yet are now his and their biggest fans.
Southgate is England Manager because he really wants to be, he's not trying to feather his nest or looking for an easy ride in to retirement. Think that counts for a lot.I certainly wrote Southgate off, but didn't, the team.
I thought Southgate would make for a terrible England manager.
Just goes to show doesn't it and some great club managers go on to make dreadful international managers (Don Revie).
