  1. Germany
  2. France
  3. Spain
  4. Brazil
  5. Argentina

Any of the 5 in no specific order. All of those teams have world-class talent. We'll have to see how it plays out.

 

Not Argentina. They've been awful in qualifying and today against Iceland as well. They'll even struggle to get out of their group.

Obstacles are the things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
 

what if he shits the bed the next two games and Portugal gets knocked out...

p.s. he isn't the GOAT, he isn't even better than Messi, who's also not the GOAT

At the end of the day, who made their penalty kick? Also, I doubt Portugal will win because let's be honest here. Ronaldo kinda carries the team...

Made ya look
 

Spain-Brazil-France-Germany

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

Agree on these three. We'll have a better idea of which is the best as they gain consistency and the teams gel through the opening round.

Work hard, work clean, & most of all do not give up.
 

Would be surprised to see another team win besides Germany/Brazil. I think Brazil will win.

France has enough talent to stack up with Germany and Brazil, but with their coach, they never seem to fully click in international tournaments because he doesn't know what is his best lineup is and tinkers far too much to the detriment of the team. I'm also not convinced by him tactically and expect for them to be knocked out when they actually face decent opposition.

Dark horses for me: Colombia & Portugal

 

Belgium is 3rd in the world with the most valuable team (on a transfer fee basis). Only one person mentioned them. The right trade is short Brazil long Belgium.

 

As much as I love the team, Belgium is going to be held back by their idiot of a coach. Roberto 'Martinez is an inept bellend. @PJM2ERCOT" I would love to see Messi win just so he can secure the title of GOAT but today's performance was lackluster. Croatia is a sleeper in my opinion. Incredible talent, well coached and looked great today against Nigeria. Russia too has a plethora of young talent. Spain played well against Portugal, but Ronaldo is just too much. Any prediction is a lottery ticket when it comes to the World Cup.

 
  1. France - Incredible individual talent, especially the Mbappe, Griezman, Dembele offence is terrifying (will be even more terrifying in 4 years though)
  2. Germany - always great, but not as solid as in 2014 imo.
  3. Brazil - also an incredible amount of individual talent in the squad.
  4. Spain - looked deadly against Portugal (Portugal played very solid as though)
 

Final Four Germany- For obvious reasons, I'm not worried about them even after today with Mexico.

France- That team is just really solid imo, there are no real glaring holes on the roster, they were a fluke goal away from winning the Euros in 2016, and most of that team is intact.

Belgium- They perennially let me down, I think this is the year they break through and make a solid run.

Spain- I agree with @MyMomThinksIMadeIt, that team looked incredible and would've won that game if De Gea held on to that second goal.

Final Spain V Germany and it goes to penalties, I'll pick Germany because of Neur

A lot of people say Brazil but watching them draw with the Swiss today showed me that Neymar is way too selfish with the ball with so many talented players, he's gotta let other guys show up.

 

Messi and Messi alone will win the world cup. All hail the great Messi(ah).

I feel like France will be like the England of 2000-2014, a load of big name players with great talent, but that don't work together. I would be amazed if they got to the final, I expect them to drop out in the quarter finals.

I put Brazil down to win it, having changed from Germany last minute, but after seeing their opening match I'm kicking myself. Put Neymar on the bench and I think they have a chance, if he keeps pulling the crap he did on Sunday, no chance.

I would bet on Germany, Spain or Belgium. Belgium and Spain were impressive (albeit Belgium was against Panama), Germany I thought played alright but were sloppy compared to usual, and they seem very slow, but they're Germany so I always feel they'll be able to step it up a notch when necessary.

Dark horses I see England, Mexico and Croatia, all of whom impressed me (England just need to be more clinical, but I thought they had good movement and created chances, and were heavily cheated). England and Mexico have rather quick teams, Mexico edge it on the counter, but England have the set piece threat as well (not direct shots obviously, those are terrible).

Could go on with Sweden, Switzerland, Russia and Iceland all looking decent, but I don't see any of them going past the next round (although I would love Iceland to go further).
