I always knew that with a few more black players and a hint of rigging that we could become one of the top contenders

>>155563026
US should be in the dark horse category. Still hasn't payed a decent team and even Canada scored more.

>the assassin of australia
>the pulverizer of paraguay

>>155563026
USA will get knocked out against the first elite team they face

Morocco is overrated and cant finish to save their lives.

Netherlands and England are historical chokers.

Spain is still a top contender.

Brasil is Brasil,even if they are not at their best they can still beat anyone.
Top contenders are Argentina, Spain, France
Contenders are Germany, Brasil
Dark Horses are USA, Norway, Belgium, Colombia


if Portugal drops Ronaldo they can join thew Contenders rank, otherwise they suck
the rest of the teams have literally 0 shot at winning the WC

>>155563026
>Mutt in top contenders
Two months and a half too late for an April's fools.

Make another tier for the ones who will NEVER, EVER have any sort of shot at the championship at this cup.

This is either bait or is the kind of chart created by someone who has been watching ball for a grand total of 2 weeks.

like the actual accurate version is this

the rest of the countries are there just to sell tickets

>>155563026
• Demote Netherlands and Morocco to Contenders
• The US all the way down to In the hunt
• Mexico, Switzerland, Cote d'Ivoire, Belgium, Norway to In the hunt too
• Czechia, Paraguay, DR Congo, Canada, Egypt to Dark horses
• Japan promoted to In the hunt
• Idc about sorting out Dark horses and Long shots, so I'll stop there

the USA is going to win it all

>midget ronaldo obsession

>>155563563
huh?

have you seen him play?

Portugal plays with 10 players when they field him
he is detrimental to the team...

if they want to have a real shot at winning they have to bench him

they have a really good team and can be an actual contender to win the WC, but they need the full 11 players and the full pitch to be able to do so

>>155563221
England is winning the World Cup, you absolute retarded sudaca

>>155563626
its coming home

tm 1966


england have lost 2 finals and 3 semi finals wince 1966

they are full on chokers, same with netherlands

>>155563659
Argentina were serial chokers before 2022. Messi literally lost 3 international finals in 3 years and quit the NT like a KWAB.

>>155563659

Honored to see us mentioned but we have no chance against the top 3 if we suck at scoring that bad!

>>155563681
yeah, we had a dry spell

and it took the best player in the history of the sport to break that

you guys have Kane and Jude Bellingam, good luck with that

60 years without winning shit

>>155563714
if we play, in semis im 90% sure you guys win

but then you guys would lose against either France or Spain in the final

England has won 1 (one) game against a middling team, and suddenly people want to put them as favorites.

>>155564152
Yes.

>>155564207
Enjoy watching them lose to someone like Ghana, I guess.

>>155564250
You sound like a bitch

France is by far the most likely one to win. Some insane golden generation they have going for them.
Spain is overrated imho, they are going to choke against the first strong team they face.
Imho France, England and Germany are the strong contenders here.

>>155564302
Have you watched England at a world cup before? They always do well at group stages and then lose to Iceland or something.

the only real teams this year: Germany (obv), england, netherlands, france, usa (decent for quarterfinal but i think fifa will rig them to the semi)

>>155564350
Now they have a german coach, obviously choking is in their DNA but we'll see, i saw something different this time

>>155563483
this is the more accurate version. when's the last time a team other than Argentina/Germany/France/Spain/Italy/Brazil won?

I'm sure one of Croatia or Netherlands or maybe an African team will go to the quarters or semis, but they probably won't win, and deserve dark horse at best

>>155564437

Shitholebros it's not looking good

Serious chances: France, Argentina, maybe Germany
If stars align: Netherlands, maybe, and it is a big maybe, Brazil - even then probably not
Good campaigns, cant win this wc: England, Spain
Can reach semis: all but middle eastern and I highly doubt africans except Morocco

Do not argue with me, this is the absolute truth

>>155565398
>Can reach semis: all but middle eastern and I highly doubt africans except Morocco

England had the highest ranked opponent of any big team and bumraped them.

Your next cope?

>>155565540
It makes sense when you realize Brazilians don't watch soccer, which makes sense given the absolute state of their team.

>>155565636
>England had the highest ranked opponent of any big team and bumraped them.
Croatia is not the highest ranked opponent of this WC group stage and Modric should retire
Also, your pattern is overperforming at the start then choking at the end

>>155564448
>Argentina/Germany/France/Spain/Italy/Brazil won?
>when last did a team win other than the six teams that won the last six tournaments
Great intellect mate

>>155565636
so?

you could beat a team with gods and the monstars in them by 999 to 0 in groups / ro16 / QF

and you guys would still choke against a team of cripples in the finals or semis

you guys are chokers
same story as the netherlands

>>155564448
Past performance does not guarantee future results

>>155565979

last one that wasnt one of those 6 that won was England in 1966

>old folks team was high ranked
holy copeola you guys really are seething lol

>>155565979
dating back to 1970, retard. and if you include england and uruguay, no other team has ever won it

>>155566084
obviously, you can't guarantee anything. but there's a pretty high chance the winner is from one of those past winners, and those teams just happen to be the best teams in general

>>155566117
>>155566215
But those are also the same six teams that won the last six. Which means that the game is far more competitive than it's ever been.
If you include the 7th tournament then two of those have also been new winners.

>>155566215
In the 90s, people were saying that to explain how France and Spain could never win a WC, they were the perennial losers… until they won

>>155565540
Im saying middle eastern teams wont reach semis, and that I doubt africans can reach, with the exception of morocco
In english, A but B means A with the exception of B. It is funny that the burger poster didnt get the correct meaning of the sentence. It is even funnier considering brazilians are well versed in football tendencies and history, while burgers are notoriously averse to the sport, which they call soccer and know very little about. The chef's kiss is anon's ignorance of the fact that I established that I was telling the absolute truth, which cant be contradicted. It is the absolute truth, after all, and saying it is false would trigger the principle of explosion in logic, and who would want to open this can of worms?
Have a nice wc, and remember to take burgers statements on football with a grain of salt

>>155566573
yeah and in 98 they had Herny, Veira, fucking Zidane and the level of the tournament in general was subpar

in 2010 they had Xavi, Iniesta, etc and were easily the best


to have a new winner that would mean they would have to have better squads than France, Spain, England, Germany and Argentina

im sure Gakpo and Netherlands qualify in that right
or the geriatric team of Belgium
or Portgal playing with 10 because they start with Ronaldo in the field


and the rest of the torunament is even at a lower level than that


the odds of the winner not being among France, Spain, England, Germany and Argentina is almost non existent

>>155566573
anything's possible sure. but both Spain and France's teams in their WC wins were insane roster-wise. I don't think there's any non-past winner who can claim to have as many stars as those 2 teams did

Croatia's roster is probably the best in terms of names, but they're all past their prime

>>155566929
like not even counting the lower tier shitters

Portugal would have to beat Argentina, England / Brasil and France / Spain to be champions

Netherlands would have to beat France, Spain / Belgium and Argentina / Brasil / England to be champions

Belgium would have to beat Spain, France / Netherlands and Argentina / Brasil / England to be champions


is it possible? of couse, even Panama has odds at winning, albeit astronomical

and compared to the odds one of the previous winners win this WC
not just from a squad power perspective, but also from pressure and most importantly knowing how to fucking win it all
the odds of a non winnner to win it this year is neglible

you need a superb golden generation to be able to do it for a first time

Belgium and Croatia were close, but this tournament there is none

only Portugal, but theyd have to leave CR7 at the hotel for that to be possible

I know we were playing friendlies but still, we manmarked your star and completely neutralized him. Senegal is doing the same but using one of their super ngubus.

Can you actually defeat Senegal without Haaland?

Really? Damn. Thanks?

Almost nobody in the USA expects our team to go anywhere. Getting two tournament wins and winning the group lead in our least important game is already satisfaction enough, and if our team got sent home right now they'd still be cheered for trying. Anything else they can do is just another cherry on top of the cake.

>>155567920
>without Haaland
nope
but I dont see how that matters as we'll be playing with haaland

>>155568821
I do.

>>155568821
I think I'd be disappointed if they were eliminated before the Round of 16, considering that they'll face some sad sack in the Round of 32. That being said it wouldn't surprise me if it happened.

>>155568821
You sound like a fag. They either win the World Cup or they're fucking deported.

>>155563539
Netherlands have the best midfield of this WC. They'll reach semis minimum

>>155571530
Netherlands midfield isnt even top 5 this WC....

England, Portugal, Argentina, France and Spain all have better midfields

and you could make the case for Germany and Brasil as well

>>155568142
my jersey number is 20 and I'm the striker

>>155571584
>England, Portugal, Argentina, France and Spain all have better midfields
England could rival with it, the rest lmfao absolutely not, especially France and Argentina. Rodri and Pedri are cooked. Portugal should be the best on paper but they're dysfunctional for some reason. Gravenberch-de Jong-Reijnders is peak and they've been setting tempo in both games

>>155571767
Netherlands plays Gravenverch, Reijders and Dejong
Be for fucking real...


Argentina has Enzo Fernandez and MacAllister alone

France has Olisse, Rabiot, Tchuameni

Portugal has Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha and Neves

idk you dont know shit about football or you are trolling, bc all of them put netherlands midfield to shame

then again, you are canadian, so its expected for you to know jack shit about ball

>>155572343
I take for granted you didn't watch the Netherlands games so keep it with your headcanon retard vilero
>Argentina has Enzo Fernandez and MacAllister
De Paul carried in 2022 but he's not what he used to be anymore and you know it and these two are not as good as you think they are
>France has Olisse, Rabiot, Tchuameni
Olise isn't a midfielder dumb chimp, and Rabiot-Tchouameni gotta be France's worst midfield in ages, no finesse, and no Griezmann anymore but they'll compensate for that with their attack anyway so my point still stands
>Portugal has Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha and Neves
Best midfield on paper but was awful and dysfunctional for some reason, they can prove me wrong next game if they somehow get their shit together but Dutch midfield was more impressive in terms of possession, vertical passing and technical quality
>idk you dont know shit about football or you are trolling, bc all of them put netherlands midfield to shame
You're slow and retarded

lots of delusional people in this topic
I know more about football than every single one of you
have been to more games than all of you combined

the favorites to win are Spain and Portugal
Germany, France and Argies are strong contenders
Belgium, Brazil and England are dark horses
