World cup thread
I was going to post this in the main chat but I do appreciate that some people have no interest in it whatsoever. But only 1 week to go now before our world cup campaign starts against iran. Can't wait for it all to get started next Sunday with Qatar against Ecuador. (Hopefully Ecuador smash them.)

Re: World cup thread
Weirdly I’m struggling to get excited for this. There’s been almost zero build up or hype.
Maybe that’s a good thing for England’s chances?

Re: World cup thread
I think Argentina will win it. England will struggle based on the nations league performances. ( group stage exit?) Wales will get to the round of 16.
It won't be the same as world cups in the summer but I am looking forward to Sundays opener and our game against Iran on Monday. Its going to be interesting

Re: World cup thread
Argentina don’t do well outside of the Americas and England will win the group easily.
If everybody wins the groups who are predicted to do so England will play Senegal in the Ro16, and France in the Quarters and then they’re on the opposite side of the draw from Germany and Brazil.
Tough.

Re: World cup thread
I actually agree with Ryan, Argentina are my tip to win it. I’m hoping England can surprise me and do well but I’m not optimistic.

Re: World cup thread
It's a risk to say so in advance, but I don't think there is serious competition in England's group despite the high cumulative rankings of the four sides. Even on current form, England are on a different level from USA and Wales sides that have their own serious weaknesses.
The danger perhaps is that both USA and Wales will approach the England game as a derby and be out for a scalp. 7 points puts us through comfortably top, I feel. Perhaps can even get away with 6.

Re: World cup thread
I think we will beat Iran and the USA and if we are ahead of Wales at that stage a draw will do.
I have not looked into the ins and outs of who we get should we qualify, but agree with Fildes (and you can quote me on this) but for me Argentina will win the competition.

Re: World cup thread
An Argentina vs Germany final a repeat of the 2014 Brazil World cup. 40/1
I fancy that.
Argentina are 7/1 to win the tournament.
England are the same odds.
