WC 2018
« on: June 03, 2018, 02:24:53 AM »
so I know there are loads of football (Soccer) fans on here.  What are your picks for the World Cup?

Seems a pretty competitive wide open field to me.  No stand outs, so it should prove exciting.   Only Joke will be if England don't make it through to the qualifiers.  Have to beat Panama and Tunisia!!! surely!!     

Good to see Trump put in a STRONG bid to host 2026 along with Canada and Mexico everyone working together to achieve greatness!

I'm predicting an Argentina-Columbia final with Columbia taking home the cup.

Now, now, let's not make this about Spuds. Egypt will be in the knockout round. Bold prediction.

Do they all lie down on the floor and grab their knees/ankles/heads when the water hits them?

Egypt probably has the best chance ever to go through, their group is terrible!  With the Egyptian king anything is possible, plus he has extra motivation from the injustice of the CLF.  Wonder if they can play Spain at any point? got to love a bit of Karma.

I'm mildly optimistic about England, the youth setups have done much better at tournament football recently following a more German approach and whilst we have no stand out superstars I do think they have a better team ethic this time.  That matters the most and we have 3 goalkeepers all much better than Joe Hart!  who has cost us the last 2 tournys.  So maybe not this time but hopefully next Euros or WC we go semi finals at least! 

Hopefully Harry Kane and Vardy can prove difficult for opposing teams one being a typical centre forward (haven't had one since Shearer) and the other used to pouncing on teams with blistering counter attacks when we don't get much of the ball.  Lets be Leicester!

every 4 years.... "little hopeful for england" - which is english for "we'll win this time for god sakes !!!!"
and invariably they get boned by someone along the way :)

As for Poland, we will probably play 3 matches: ( old polish joke about World Cup )
opening match ( we're hopeful here )
do or die match ( we messed up first game and we absolutely have to win this one )
match for honor ( and now we're playing for honor only cause we're sure out )

As the post says, they left a "remaining 700kb of free space reserved for 2018"

I will put my usual $100 on England to win and then assume it is lost money.

I have Germany to repeat in my brackets.
