Well with covid-induced economy pain and the slow rotting of football, the standard of next World Cup will be even lower. Won’t be surprised if a team like Italy can play out an underwhelming final and then ‘gloriously’ win it on penalties.
As an ex-azzuri fan, im so happy that the last two major trophy that Italy won has been won by penalty. Because penalty is the fairest, most tactically sound, most modern, most skill-driven way of winning a final convincingly.
Kudos to the Italy team. Seeing that most of them play forSerie A, I would now also say that Serie A has the highest standard of football in Europe. In fact, from now on, all football games should just be made up of penalty shoot outs.
Straight to the point and avoid 90 mins of boredom.

Just a note, Brazil played less Copa America and before 1975~80 send a lot of times team B for it.
For instance, Pelé played only once, because the tournament was not seeing as worth of brazilian first team.
Just become something serious (not important here in Brazil, but at least worthy of first team and as a preparation for World Cup) in 1975 (and the name become Copa America, before was other). In this time (1975 until today), Brazil won 6, Uruguay 3 and Argentina 3.

Can anyone explain how the FIFA rankings represent the teams' actual strength? The were just updated:
1) Belgium - beaten by Italy at the Euros.
2) Brazil - ?
3) France - Sucked at the Euros, knocked out by Switzerland (which Italy beat 3-0)
4) England - Won against easy opponents at the Euros. Sucked against better opposition.
5) Italy - Won the Euros after facing England, Spain and Belgium. Unbeaten in 34 matches.

Italy are definitely one of the prime contenders to win the World Cup. France will definitely want to defend their title and atone for their abysmal performance at the Euros. Germany may or may not be ready. Spain will be a threat. The Mouth Breathing Britbong Limey Cunts definitely have a chance. Who else am I forgetting? Portugal have lost a step or two and the Belgians aren't getting any younger.
I don't see any South American team being a threat.
Evidently, the Italians will need to focus on the task at hand and not fall prey to the hype. They obviously have weaknesses, but so does every other team not named France.
Forgive @Bjerknes He probably thinks Murica can win the World Cup - maybe in 2050 Andy

They still have a long way to go, and they may never even win it. It's a matter of mentality, belief and experience. The Muricans don't have that winning DNA in this sport, not yet anyway. Also, if the team is a reflection of Murican society, then they might as well just give up for the next 100 years 
Come at me Fags
Also, Egypt won't make the World Cup and the Federation will blame Mo Salah.

Let me know when they are acutely a threat. Lots of hot air and “talk” as usual . They have 4 nice players at the moment. Let me know when they have 20 nice players.
