Forza Croatia and Switzerland.

Definitely underdogs, but so far underdogs who can actually play an entertaining game and get a result against superior opposition. Also both sides get physical and aren't afraid to kick a Neymar or Messi in the shins. Good stuff :tup:

Tuz wanted Mascherano here :lol: , as i said most overrated player ever in tuz history .
The man is 34 now, he was wanted here a few years ago and rightly so.

May seem random BUT TRUST ME on of Uruguay or Serbia will win this World Cup!
Id have gone with France, they have got the midfield to kill opponents game and the talent upfront to score even if they dont deserve to. And Deschamps is cynical enough to play Giroud even when whole nation is giving him shit for it. Paired with lack of quality teams in this WC and a little luck, thats the winning combination

Btw, people calling Messi fanboys Barca fans should look in the mirror,plenty of peeps here gay for Ronaldo and Madrid. Luckily for others, Portugal dont stand a chance

I really doubt it, they have been simply awful in the past two games against Peru and Australia and were very lucky to win both. So far they haven't found their midfield or attacking setting. The 4-3-3 with Mbappe as a ST didnt work and the 4411 with Giroud isnt impressive either. Deschamps is tinkering and it might be a little too late for that

From what I've seen only Portugal has impressed me, they are by far the most cohesive unit with a clear system and game plan. My money would be on them

Sure, they didnt win with a big difference, but in both games they got the lead with time to spare and saw the game out in typical cynical Juve fashion. Pragmatic isnt lucky

Portugal coud've easily lost against both Spain and Morocco, Spain conceded some stupid goals and Moroccos chances landed on Benatia, who couldnt finish because hes a CB not a striker :D

France look absolutely lethal. They might have struggled both games, but fact is they are incredibly cynical and have Griezmann and Mbappe.

And then there's Pogba who is having a big, yet silent impact this tournament.

Denmark in the Ro16 and one of Uruguay/Portugal or an outside chance of Russia being Croatia's QF opponent

I dont trust Croatia to beat Uruguay or Portugal tbh. Exactly the kind of opponent they struggle against.
