I think Pari might be below Swadun, tbh.
Who do you think will challenge for a Semi-final? Among weaker teams?
I got
Moroco
Peru
Sweden
In that order
I think Pari might be below Swadun, tbh.
It depends on what do you consider a dark horse.
portugal.
they finish 2nd in group B so they get a relatively easy team from group A (uruguay/russia/egypt). then they get a quarters with france who are choke artists and that's semis right here. Semi and penaldo and anything can happen. that's a golden bracket for a world cup and you can bet these s know it.
dark horse meaning a team that has the personnel to win it but the bookies aren't considering them to win it all? I'd say Uruguay and Croacia
France
Would you consider Uruguay a dark horse, tbh?
What I said above my understanding of being a dark horse. Unless there's another meaning to "dark horse" in my book Croacia and Uruguay
If the 2016 Euro champ is gonna count as a dark horse, then I'd say yes.
Uruguay then... they're not Germany-like, but always seem to overperform in the World Cups, IMO.
How does Germany over perform?
I meant Uruguay does. What I mean by them not being Germany-like, is that they're not an ordered team to attack/defend. But still manage to win tough games.
Think I misread it. I don't know if it's an over perform or just performing at their highest level unlike most teams, tbh. Also, finishers / playmakers like Forlan (former), Suarez, Cavani, others is invaluable. Not all teams have that.
Only if Luis Suarez is allowed to horse bite opposing players...

Suarez did his time for it, tbh... hopefully he learned his lesson
Yep, if you can consider the Euro champions a dark horse, that would be my pick. Pretty favourable draw. Is better to finish second than first on that group.
tbh I've been having a good row of bets this year (real for ucl in december, lebron finals in february) .. might put 200 eur on portugal just for the
I would take Portugal 25-1 or Uruguay 28-1 over England 16-1 or even Belgium 11-1.
But if I was really feeling like playing the lottery with a $10 bet, I'd go with Poland 66-1, Mexico 100-1, or Switzerland 100-1. That's the deepest I see anyone possibly paying off.
That's pretty generous tbh. I'd bet $100 that they don't even get a point in the group stage
You think that they're worse than previous Mexico teams?
Have you seen S.Korea?
All Asians teams is a disaster waiting to happen. All of them have 2-3 month old coaches too.
They will win against korea. That should be enough to get them through after a draw with sweden.
sweden is a very uncomfortable team (see qualification), that is great in the air and which will have massive crowd support ( a lot of swedes will go to this world cup, it's nearby, it's cheap and sweden hasn't made it in a long time). I even see us losing points to them so mexico shouldn't take them lightly tbh..
son there is one thing you don't understand with odds tbh. I'd give both portgual and uruguay better odds to make the semis because they have a great bracket. But i'd give england and belgium better odds at actually winning the thing, the semis and final are extremely emotional games and you need that "big footballing country we deserve to be here" mentality otherwise you're handicapped in the mental game.
