bosstrabs Nah, Brazil won’t win it, European hard men will get stuck into Neymar and he’ll cry like a baby again. I’d fancy Argentina more, having just won the Copa America.
Jules72 bosstrabs I know they’re undefeated for something like 35 games, but is the quality really there in that squad? (Messi apart)
Mad_Cyril Jules72 I know they’re undefeated for something like 35 games, but is the quality really there in that squad? This minded me of that Monty Python sketch about the Romans!
Jules72 Mad_Cyril 🤫….. an unbeaten run is worthless if versus crappy teams and I have no idea who they’ve been playing
Jules72 Mad_Cyril so the unbeaten run has been against lots of Latin teams (Bolivia, Ecuador etc)…. Hardly any European ones… so on the basis of the opposition they’ve beaten and a squad that actually doesn’t look all that amazing, I wouldn’t read too much into the unbeaten run… having said that, there’s no single outstanding team at this tournament - any of 5-10 countries can win it imo (including Argentina)
bosstrabs Jules72 ….. an unbeaten run is worthless if versus crappy teams and I have no idea who they’ve been playing Also I reckon Uruguay and possibly Chile, Colombia and Peru are at least as ‘good’ as some of the middling shite in the European qualifying groups, like Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, WALES and so on…
SM001 Brazil and Argentina have the squads capable of winning it but in recent World Cups they’ve shat the bed when up against a European team. Jules72 an unbeaten run is worthless if versus crappy teams and I have no idea who they’ve been playing Theres no easy games in the CONMEBOL qualifiers or Copa America unlike in Europe where we have San Marino, Andorra etc
Cankles-McJeggings Infantino should be burnt alive. How far has he got his dirty Iti hand in the till? Absolute cunt of a man. Rancid from top to bottom FIFA is. Won’t be watching a single game. 🤮
bosstrabs Jules72 so the unbeaten run has been against lots of Latin teams (Bolivia, Ecuador etc)…. Hardly any European ones… I wouldn’t read too much into the unbeaten run… I didn’t say anything about the unbeaten run. I did tacitly suggest tournament winning ‘minerals’. Jules72 having said that, there’s no single outstanding team at this tournament - any of 5-10 countries can win it imo (including Argentina) Actually it always seems that way going into a World Cup. It’s only in hindsight that it seems ‘obvious’ a particular team would won. Example: West Germany were 5th favourites going into the 1990 World Cup, behind Italy (the hosts), Brazil, Holland (having won Euro 88) and Argentina (the reigning champions). It was only after they hammered Yugoslavia 4-1 in their opening game while Holland and Argentina laboured through their groups that people started to say they were the obvious contenders.

bosstrabs Smallman1 Dave has just named every single team in the World Cup to win it. Smallman, can we have ‘pints’ in London in January when I’m back so I can glass you in the neck?

Hursty Mad_Cyril your reply to this rumour earlier on in the thread? The second part is answered in the Elon Musk thread, not directly your comments
