If France can survive to their group they will upset Brazil, this is France fate in football: Brazil. this is the only thing we are good at.

Grats Uruguay tbh !
So, last WC I took the safe bet and put money on La Roja Furia--which was like picking Alabama to win the BCS le last year. I haven't been paying much mind to the world's game, so who is favored? Who does the ST masses like? Which African team will make it past the Group Stage? Is this the WC the U.S. makes a run?
Favored? Spain - Germany - Brazil
Tho I think something's missing with Brazil that I can't figure out
Cote d'Ivoire might have a good chance of making it past because they have the best crop of European football players imo
US might get past thr group stage if they get a good draw but they are ed if they go to a group of death.
How is Argentina ?
It looks like they have improved since they got a real coach
They are the dark horse if Midget is healthy .... IDK why, I have the feeling they could go all the way
Aguerro is srsly beasting this season, Higuain is playing more this season, Interistas Palacio and Icardi are playing well
Of course, their D is a big question mark
When do they pic out of the pots?

Thanks Lefty--who you got winning it all?

you don't watch NBA bro? Teams with no defense never win championships.
No Euro team has ever won a World Cup in America...
1930 - Host: Uruguay - Winner: Uruguay
1950 - Host: Brazil - Winner: Uruguay
1962 - Host: Chile - Winner: Brazil
1970 - Host: Mexico - Winner: Brazil
1978 - Host: Argentina - Winner: Argentina
1986 - Host: Mexico - Winner: Argentina
1994 - Host: USA - Winner: Brazil
That said, Spain was the first Euro team to win outside of Europe (Africa) in 2010. Brazil already did it for America in 2002 (South Korea & Japan), and obviously they've won in Europe before.
Uruguay has 4 WC recognized by fifa and their shield logo in the jerseys because they won the Olympics in 24 and 28 because FIFA was being formed and they organized the olympics were the WC then. So technically, they were the first to win in European soil...
As you point out, this WC is likely staying in South America and I see Brazil or Argentina winning it all tbh
Brazil's gonna win, tbh
Argie or Uruguay would be next two faves. Doubt a Euro team wins it, tbh
Dark horse would be Mexico. They need to gel and finally live up to their potential, but if they do those things and get a weak group, watch out
Didn't know that about Uruguay... all good to me... just dropping some interesting tidbits about the history of the WC when played in America...
man no north korea?
Not sure if srs....
I also think European teams will have a hard time adapting. Most of these guys have never played in South America before. they don't know the heat, the humidity, the crowd, the grass and the pitches (bigger than in Europe) but there are so many European teams on the WC than at least one will make it far and maybe win it too.
Then there's Ms bumbum, tbh... distractions will abound...
A year ago, no one would have debated this, I would be super excited to see that team play on the world cup.. but that team is long gone, at least I think it is.
In order for me to even consider Mexico a dark horse now, we have to get pretty much all the euros back.. and get a miracle.
The team we saw vs New Zealand is a ty team, tbh. They gel, but there's no way they can upset an actually good team, I hope we get our actual good players back and a coach that can make them gel and get them ready for the big stage, but I don't think there's enough time for any of that.
I like Germany to win it, tbh..
Colombia and Portugal would be dark horse imo
