Norway for the World Cup?


Portugal don't have the squad depth needed, and Ronaldo will harm them more than he helps.
They’ve got insane squad depth. On Ronaldo, I agree

Goalkeepers: Diogo Costa (Porto), Jose Sa (Wolves), Rui Silva (Sporting), Ricardo Velho (Genclerbirligi).

Defenders: Diogo Dalot (Manchester United), Matheus Nunes (Manchester City), Ruben Dias (Manchester City), Nelson Semedo (Fenerbahce), Joao Cancelo (Barcelona), Nuno Mendes (Paris St-Germain), Goncalo Inacio (Sporting), Renato Veiga (Villarreal), Tomas Araujo (Benfica).

Midfielders: Ruben Neves (Al-Hilal), Samu Costa (Mallorca), Joao Neves (Paris St-Germain), Vitinha (Paris St-Germain), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Bernardo Silva (Manchester City).

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr), Joao Felix (Al-Nassr), Francisco Trincao (Sporting), Francisco Conceicao (Juventus), Pedro Neto (Chelsea), Rafael Leao (AC Milan), Goncalo Guedes (Real Sociedad), Goncalo Ramos (Paris St-Germain).
 
There's always an underdog that people fancy, it used to be Turkey but now it seems it's either Japan or Norway.
We might see a surprise or two in the quarters but I struggle to see past either France, Spain, Argentina or Brazil contesting the final.

Portugal, amazing squad, will do ok.

England.. We're ok but there are better teams.

Some squad that. Gotta be up there with the favourites but with slightly better odds I imagine. If I was a gambler I'd stick a pound on.
 
Like most tournaments it'll be the usual suspects here's a few of the top of my head.
Spain
France
Argentina
Brazil
Portugal and Germany are always thereabouts
Take your pick

I have a suspicion that there will be a new winner as the conditions will make games unpredictable.

Would be hilarious if Mexico won just so Trump would have to present them with the trophy.
 
Northern European teams have won the world cup 7 times. None have won it in the summer time in the Northern hemisphere in a predominantly hot country apart from France in Italy which is their neighbour so not dismilar.
Tad convoluted innit.

Germany won it in Brazil. Against South American oppo.


Germans won it in Italy anarl by the way. France won it in France. And Russia.

Germany gets pretty hot. The Germans have won it there anarl.

Mexico may go deep as a home nation.

Brazil are my boys fancy, a closer look at their squad and I can see his point.

We both agreed a Messi / Ronaldo final would be a fitting end to both international careers.
