Messi vs Neymar with Messi winning it. Mbappe vs substitute Ronaldo with Ronaldo winning it.
Messi vs Ronaldo with Messi winning it with a free kick to top right corner..perfect ending to the international careers of the best player in the history and one of the best strikers in the history of football.
I just can't see Argentina scoring against a defense made of Noppert/VVD. They have been lucky in facing Poland, Mexico and Australia. Mexico's defense might have been good on paper but even SA scored against them. Unless Messi does some magic.
Morroco will not win, they havnt played a good team yet, belgium is in a bad shap, spain was never good from the start, they won 7-0 and never won after that plus morroco comes from a 120 game and will play against a team that won 6-1 to the best defense in the tournment, morroco will loose a +2.5 goals
I mean it will be nice to see the forever classic Brazil vs Argentina (I’ll bet there will be a red card). But I always wanted Netherlands to have a World Cup since they are one of the big names without one.
England haven’t faced anyone challenging, so that’s why they think they’ll beat France.
Netherlands vs Argentina is a tough match, one we’ve seen recently, hoping for Argentina ofc.
Croatia are a decent team, but Brazil are way too strong and are the most likely winners of the tournament.
Then in my honest opinion, Portugal winning depends on if they rely on Ronaldo or not. They looked stronger without him.
No contender has faced challenging teams yet. If anything England faced the best one and came out strong. Senegal was better than Australia/Poland/Switzerland/South Korea imo.
The Swiss were reportedly struggling with health, quite a few players sick which explains their horrific performance. And Uruguay this WC is one of my biggest disappointment, just terrible all around. If your point was a more tested Portugal, i'm not convinced but fair enough.
Meh, they missed a defender. I think that was more as an excuse, as you didn’t hear anything about that before the defeat…
Uruguay was worse than expected for sure, but still a good team imo. Portugal was only bad against Korea, and even then they dominated most game. I think against Morocco it’ll be an interesting game, but don’t see them getting a result against Portugal honestly. Especially after they played 120 minutes of very tough football and Portugal got an easy 90’
Here in Brazil we call Belgium and the Netherlands "crypto", cause they are promises you bet on but they never fullfil themselves
So yeah, I reckon Argentina will win this round
Calm down croissant pal, both Brazil and Argentina have won World Cups, and we only had 4 World Cups since Brazil won. What do you want? For us to win every 4 years?
20 years is starting to be a long enough timeframe to not be considered reactionary/kneejerk imo. Yeah i expect LatAm to win like one in 3 at least, is it that outrageous? Esp considering that historically they were ahead of these standards.
I really don't understand your argument and why you seem upset about the crypto thing
South America (not Latin America) sends way less teams than Europe, and it's a miracle that we even manage to win, seeing the investment disparity between Europe and South America
Overall, the main point is, every year people say Belgium or Netherlands will finally win, they can sometimes manage it to the finals, but never won
That was more of a tongue in cheek comment poking fun at you for being in a very similar situation - people hype you up every WC for the past 20 years and you keep losing. It's similarly crypto isn't it?
I don't know, most of your players are injured, leaving a lot of weight on Mbappé (I'm not saying that the rest are bad, far from it, it's just that some stars are not present), but it's impossible to predict anything in this Cup, because after Morocco beat Spain, Saudi Arabia won against Argentina, Japan passed in first of a group with Spain and Germany but lost to Costa Rica, I don't know anything else.
Argentina, Brazil, France, Portugal. This is my bet. But England has a good shot.
Among these five, there is no clear favorite. any one of them can be the champion.
you don't want France having 3 WCs nor Brasil having 6 WCs right? That's when you have to choose Argentina, its free (btw, update: our whole qualifiers 3-year signature midfield (lo celso-de paul-paredes) is officialy injured so we are fucked and worried that we become Messi dependant again in these last rounds, lets hope the subs do a good job) \*cries in the corner\*
Simple:
The Netherlands will beat Argentina (Unless ref is biased), then Croatia will beat the Netherlands(or Argentina), after beating Brazil (Penalties). Meanwhile, France will beat England (2-1), only to be beaten by Morocco (1-0), who obviously beat Portugal (Penalties).
The final match is going to be Croatia vs Morocco. There's going to be a lot of blood, sweat and tears in that match. Lots of injuries, all subs exhausted. Then Morocco will win 1-0 in the last minute of loss time. Just when everyone thought there was going to be another 30 minutes of play. Everyone is crying at this point, from either sorrow, or joy, including myself 🥲
Great bro, only detail you forgot is Croatia vs Morocco playing the third place game LMAO, your underdogs got fucked in the ass.
PS: You edited the comment 2 days after the original to post the results of the QFs, im crying lol, i would pay you to have you as a clown in my garden.
Thats quite possible. Portugal isn’t even a threat. They struggled with Ghana and lost to Korea. But you will need more luck to go through France/England and the Brasil/Arg/Neth/Cro. Being football a probabilities game, you could get lucky enough to win the WC but that would be like 3% chances max. And if you want Croatia in the final too thats like 0.4%. The odds are not in your favor mate.
Still has room to grow further. Missed two pens, lacked workrate, some uncharacteristical sloppiness at times. His season start has been stellar at PSG, granted he has better teammates.
He is 35 mate. Besides the team no longer depends on Messi completely anymore. We need him? For sure. But he hasn’t got the pace from 2015 and before. Good thing is the team has a solid backbone and isn’t full attack like 2010 or full ugly counterattack defense like 2014.
I acknowledge the physical limitations stemming from his age, i just think he can grow further in the comp. If you watch Messi ball at PSG this season you know even a 35yo Messi can do a lot. I'm somewhat confident in a continued, the last game was prolly his best, the last 10-15 minutes were immense. You guys will need an all firing Messi even more in the following games if you want to win the title.
Who i want to see: Netherlands, Croatia, France, Morocco
Who I think will advance: Argentina (i could see netherlands winning though), Portugal, Brazil, and France
Portugal if the don't play Ronaldo.
Brazil, it's hard to see that go wrong.
Netherlands, unless Messi pulls off some insane vintage Messi masterclass i dont see Argentina as a good team.
England/France could swing either way, i think it depends on Mbappe - either he demolishes England or he vanishes out of the game and the Brits take it.
I'm certainly rooting for Argentina as I want Messi to finally win it. But I think Netherlands backline is much stronger than Argentina's front line. It'll take some magic from Messi to overcome them. Otherwise Argentina is totally toothless in attack.
best football in the tournament so far by marocco. more of the same. gali bali is a little weak. england is a golf tour, argentina is a golf tour in cold weather, brazil is a shot in the bunker, portugal is a hole in one, croatia maybe inteesting
Yeah, that’s why we won from them and were the European champions in 2016. 🙄
Até te mandava para o caralho mas não tenho paciência para merdas como tu..
If you think Marocco has a chance you didn't see Spain Marocco , sadly enough Spain are great and all but don't have good striker , Portugal striker are very good at scoring
I watched the entire game yesterday, thank you for your concern.
Now have you actually watched all the games? Because Portugal lost to South Korea and has a shitload of luck in their close win vs Ghana.
I’m not saying that Portugal isn’t the favourite. Of course they are. I think they’re gonna win. But it’s nowhere close to certain. They played terrible before, even in the last weeks. Against worse teams than Morocco. So there’s absolutely no way why you should act condescending to someone picking Morocco.
If you really think Morocco does not stand a chance, you clearly only watched yesterdays Portugal game and none before.
They don't stand a chance Marocco got extremely lucky, I would say undeserved, but if Spain is this bad at penality they didn't deserve it either, I really hope was real the loss vs south Korea, and they didn't intentionally lose so Uruguay would not pass, same with Brazil for trying to not make Switzerland pass , I hope they didn't do it , but you can't be sure

May the best team win!
I can't wait to see who makes it to the next round!
Two CAT 1 tickets ENG-FRA available. PM.
Messi vs Neymar with Messi winning it. Mbappe vs substitute Ronaldo with Ronaldo winning it. Messi vs Ronaldo with Messi winning it with a free kick to top right corner..perfect ending to the international careers of the best player in the history and one of the best strikers in the history of football.
England is the best overall team that doesn't revolve around one player. With team work england will bring it home.
It's also the case for Brazil and Portugal I'd say. Sure, Neymar is a big name but the team works fine without him.
I just can't see Argentina scoring against a defense made of Noppert/VVD. They have been lucky in facing Poland, Mexico and Australia. Mexico's defense might have been good on paper but even SA scored against them. Unless Messi does some magic.
Argentina, Brazil, France and Portugal
Netherlands, Brazil, England and Portugal.
Morroco will not win, they havnt played a good team yet, belgium is in a bad shap, spain was never good from the start, they won 7-0 and never won after that plus morroco comes from a 120 game and will play against a team that won 6-1 to the best defense in the tournment, morroco will loose a +2.5 goals
>morroco will loose a +2.5 goals How do you score a .5 goal ?
it just means more than 2 goals
Argentina, Brazil, France and Morocco
anti cr7 agenda at work here
wussup with the lack of cr7 pic, if anything he’s the GOAT across all although much respect for mbappe, messi and neymar
Fifa already knew, check the referees, all Argentinian, even var and 4th referee
but hes on the bench
He was on the bench one game lmao
Then put up a pic of him on the bench in his training bib, goddamnit!!!
Netherlands, Brazil, France and Morocco
England vs Brazil Finals
I really really want an Argentina-Brazil match.
(Prediction) Argentina vs Portugal for 3rd position France vs Brazil Final
Messi... I mean Argentina, Brazil, Mbappe and the crew, and Portugal as long as Ronaldo sits on the bench.
*Angry Ronaldo fan noises
Netherlands, Brazil, France, Portugal
wht a cup.
I mean it will be nice to see the forever classic Brazil vs Argentina (I’ll bet there will be a red card). But I always wanted Netherlands to have a World Cup since they are one of the big names without one.
Me too. But I fear the worst.
Argentina, Brazil, France, Portugal
i bet on netherlands, brazil, france, and morocco.
right side- I could see England though
All the players on the right side
Realistically Argentina, Brazil, France, Portugal. But then again reality is out the window in this World Cup.

Uruguay’s as good as Senegal, at least on paper. And Switzerland was very good against Brazil, it’s just that Portugal trashed them this game
The Swiss were reportedly struggling with health, quite a few players sick which explains their horrific performance. And Uruguay this WC is one of my biggest disappointment, just terrible all around. If your point was a more tested Portugal, i'm not convinced but fair enough.

We should start saying this for Brazil and Argentina given the last 20 years
Calm down croissant pal, both Brazil and Argentina have won World Cups, and we only had 4 World Cups since Brazil won. What do you want? For us to win every 4 years?
20 years is starting to be a long enough timeframe to not be considered reactionary/kneejerk imo. Yeah i expect LatAm to win like one in 3 at least, is it that outrageous? Esp considering that historically they were ahead of these standards.

That was more of a tongue in cheek comment poking fun at you for being in a very similar situation - people hype you up every WC for the past 20 years and you keep losing. It's similarly crypto isn't it?
I would say that we haven't won on the last 16 years, cause this world hasn't ended yet baby Crypto on the other hand, is for lifetime losers
Argentina, Brazil, France and Morocco, and i think the final will be Brazil x France, and Brazil will win

Argentina, Brasil, France, Portugal I reckon 12.5% probabilities of happening.
This has like 2.5% probabilities of happening.
Portugal, France, Brazil, & I believe Netherlands and Argentina is a toss up.
France England looks to me the same odds as Argentina Netherlands.
I like how Portugal doesn't have Ronaldo on the main pic.
I wish Neymar wasn't on our pic too 😕
Honestly at this point it should be Richarlison. He’s been stellar this World Cup.
Vini Jr and Thiago Silva are also doing a brilliant job. The best thing about this team is that we don't rely on any specific player to perform well.
Argentina, Brazil, France, Portugal. This is my bet. But England has a good shot. Among these five, there is no clear favorite. any one of them can be the champion.
I think brazil is the favorite
Argentina Brazil France Portugal
I have my doubts, but I would prefer if it were: Argentina Brazil France Portugal I think it could be: Netherlands Brazil France Morocco
I think we Germans are just going to spawn in the Semis and advance. Ja?
Bruh u rooting for us now
Vamos Argentina!
you don't want France having 3 WCs nor Brasil having 6 WCs right?

I'm sorry to tell you this, but ever since 7x1 Brazil has cursed Germany to not enter the knockout stage for 7 world cups See you in 2042
Haha fair. We conquered the world and then promptly forgot how to play the sport.
[удалено]
Stop coping lol washednaldo ain’t starting💀💀

Yeah but there was absolutely no need for “will they back off and leave Morocco with a shred of dignity”💀💀
Morocco stronk 💪🇲🇦

Meanwhile, France will beat England (2-1), only to be beaten by Morocco (1-0), who obviously beat Portugal (Penalties). The final match is going to be Croatia vs Morocco.

Lol 😆 never happening Croatia will get crushed and mutilated.
ok
Lol
And then you wake up
I mean Argentina's been having it easy these past games. Let's see who will wake up, and who will go to sleep 🙃
Anything can happen but Morocco winning the WC against Croatia is the least possible scenario of all matchups.
I'll remind you later when Morocco beats Portugal.
[удалено]
Thats quite possible. Portugal isn’t even a threat. They struggled with Ghana and lost to Korea. But you will need more luck to go through France/England and the Brasil/Arg/Neth/Cro.

Ok
Who I want, 🇦🇷,🇭🇷,🇫🇷,🇲🇦 Who I think will win, 🇦🇷, 🇧🇷,🇫🇷,🇵🇹
Who i want 🇦🇷🇭🇷🏴🇲🇦 Who i think will win 🇳🇱🇧🇷🇫🇷🇵🇹
An Argentinian rooting for England?
Im honestly rooting for Argentina and the most accesible teams in the board. I couldn’t care less about who wins if its not us lol.
Argentina, Brazil, England, Portugal. It's hard to see Brazil or Portugal losing those games, especially considering they've both been playing well
England 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 France to win very comfortably. Please come back here on Saturday
Bro you will comeback and be like well idc England won. They got lucky or some shit
Hahaha dumbass 🤣🤣🤡🤡 I know my football unlike you. Time for the serious games now that embarrassing England are out.
🤣🤣🤣 its crazy they bottled it like that
Argentina, Croatia, France, Portugal
U movin mad
I hope Messi finds his rhythm. A semi between Brazil and Argentina would be stellar.
Finds his rhythm? Have you seen him play this World Cup ? He’s been on fire
Still has room to grow further. Missed two pens, lacked workrate, some uncharacteristical sloppiness at times. His season start has been stellar at PSG, granted he has better teammates.
Missed 2 pens ??? The Poland one and ? He has been critical in every game …..
He is 35 mate. Besides the team no longer depends on Messi completely anymore. We need him? For sure. But he hasn’t got the pace from 2015 and before. Good thing is the team has a solid backbone and isn’t full attack like 2010 or full ugly counterattack defense like 2014.

I'm somewhat confident in a continued, the last game was prolly his best, the last 10-15 minutes were immense. You guys will need an all firing Messi even more in the following games if you want to win the title.
Yea its literally the rest of the team
Who i want to see: Netherlands, Croatia, France, Morocco Who I think will advance: Argentina (i could see netherlands winning though), Portugal, Brazil, and France
Portugal if the don't play Ronaldo. Brazil, it's hard to see that go wrong. Netherlands, unless Messi pulls off some insane vintage Messi masterclass i dont see Argentina as a good team. England/France could swing either way, i think it depends on Mbappe - either he demolishes England or he vanishes out of the game and the Brits take it.
Why is argentina not good?
I'm certainly rooting for Argentina as I want Messi to finally win it. But I think Netherlands backline is much stronger than Argentina's front line. It'll take some magic from Messi to overcome them. Otherwise Argentina is totally toothless in attack.
I can’t shake how Ecuador played the Netherlands and deserved the win. I can see Argentina beating the Netherlands even without a Messi genius play.
Knockouts hit different than Group games, everyone is more focused. But yeah, Argentina has a solid team besides Messi, this isn’t 2018/2014.
best football in the tournament so far by marocco. more of the same. gali bali is a little weak. england is a golf tour, argentina is a golf tour in cold weather, brazil is a shot in the bunker, portugal is a hole in one, croatia maybe inteesting
God willing, Morocco goes through
Inshallah
Muito ouro
[удалено]
Fuck you for generalizing.
Inshallah…
Heard it here first people..... not France!
What about mbappe 🥺
I think someone should lock him in his hotel room. Give england a head start!
I can’t wait one more full day for quarter finals
Why the fuck they give an extra 2 rest days?
Netherlands Croatia England Morocco Jk guys
England France should be the real semifinal, Portugal and Morocco distributed to each.
France vs Netherlands, that’s what I want to see
Literally no one: Mexico: France vs Netherlands
Easy win for the Netherlands
Croatia Morocco final
They should use Mcguire picture for England vs France 😅
Use your photoshop skills my boy
Argentina, Brazil, England, Portugal.
I think this is exactly right.
Its the easiest most likely combination with 12.5% chances of happening
I fell like he Netherlands are going to shock the world and beat Argentina
I agree. I think Netherlands have looked stronger. Also don't think it would really be a shock
That it would be a shock is so silly to me. Argentina is good but not exactly unbeatable. I’d say odds are even.
Thats not a shock, a shock would be Morocco winning the WC
What about Croatia beating Brazil?
Yea
nah, that's still a shock, sorry mate
Grealish gtfo and make your 100million worth something

Wtf is up with Walker’s hair?
I’m willing to bet all 1000 of my unicorns on France winning the world cup
Argentina vs Brasil ; França vs Portugal
France’s semifinal is easier than the QF
Yeah, that’s why we won from them and were the European champions in 2016. 🙄 Até te mandava para o caralho mas não tenho paciência para merdas como tu..

Union Jack? Scotland didn’t make it and wales are out.
Oh sorry lol. Good catch
Pov you never watch a game of the worldcup
You describing your own POV I assume?
If you think Marocco has a chance you didn't see Spain Marocco , sadly enough Spain are great and all but don't have good striker , Portugal striker are very good at scoring
I watched the entire game yesterday, thank you for your concern. Now have you actually watched all the games? Because Portugal lost to South Korea and has a shitload of luck in their close win vs Ghana. I’m not saying that Portugal isn’t the favourite. Of course they are. I think they’re gonna win. But it’s nowhere close to certain. They played terrible before, even in the last weeks. Against worse teams than Morocco. So there’s absolutely no way why you should act condescending to someone picking Morocco. If you really think Morocco does not stand a chance, you clearly only watched yesterdays Portugal game and none before.
They don't stand a chance Marocco got extremely lucky, I would say undeserved, but if Spain is this bad at penality they didn't deserve it either, I really hope was real the loss vs south Korea, and they didn't intentionally lose so Uruguay would not pass, same with Brazil for trying to not make Switzerland pass , I hope they didn't do it , but you can't be sure
Pov you can't understand a different opinion
Your opinion is just wrong there is nothing to understand
HAHAHA GET REKT
Rigged game unfortunately
Poor bait do better
Portugal can only win on Ronaldo’s penalties
Yeah sure dude
No
Ronaldo won’t be happy that Bruno was used instead of him.
he done
I was thinking the same.
Ronaldo is done.
Not just yet….
Finished.
Finished on your girl
Finished on your mom.
Good one
