    Yeah, especially if they get along particularly quite well right now like USA and Mexico or USA and Canada.

    Hopes are up that a new team or a 1x champion is going to win. Belgium and England this time. Colombia, Denmark for quarterfinals yeah.

    I am cool with Brazil as well.

    Betting on England is like betting on the raptors, Belgium really good team if they bring it up. I doubt Germany will repeat but you can’t count the manchaft out.

    Sure. I won't bet for certain, barring injuries I think it will be a Word Cup of the Favorites.

    Too much distractions for Spain, I have Brazil as the favorite now and Germany as the lucky 2.

    My Spanish is too bad but I think he is sacked......seemed the player intervention did not work.

    What a circus, well done!

    LMAO they seriously sacked Lopetegui one day before the World Cup starts. Spain's first match is on Friday. What are they thinking?

    Well the Spanish coach extended his contract two weeks ago and now signs with Real without informing the association, so I understand why the president is pissed.

    On the other hand, this sacking drastically hurts the national team and comes at the worst time possible. Feel like the pres felt personally betrayed and put his ego above the national team.

    Both sides coming out of this as losers.
