FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022

Jeez there's no one we can rely on to beat England!

Brazil, France, Germany, Spain, Holland, Croatia, Denmark, Portugal, Uruguay. Surely someone from that lot will do the business.

Reckon Denmark could do really well, they were impressive at the last Euros and have Eriksen back.

It's a shame that Norn Iron played their asses off to stop Italy from automatically qualifying because if the Italians were there I would trust them to sort England out.

Argentina haven't won the World Cup since 1986. It's a long time ago.  Since then France have won 2

As have Brazil and Germany. Argentina are the perennial underachievers of the modern game.

Hope England win it

Even Spain won. Younger  readers may find it hard to believe that Spain were the perennial chokers of international tournaments until tiki taka.
Argentina lost 2 finals as well.

Great wee game so far

Jeez there's no one we can rely on to beat England!

Argentina were on a good run and there'll always be Messi hype. However in reality South Amercian football isn't the strongest and it'll be shown at a world cup.

This WC will be decided by a mini Euro's at the end of the tournament, my prediction is four European semi finalists again, then it's a lottery from there.

Brazil have a serious attack wouldn't bet against them. No one really stands out though and there are always shocks.

Brazils attack isn't that great and is definitely not comparable to recent ones.

That's the kick up the backside the Argentinians need. Unbeaten to the final now.

Bad news lads, I can see England making the final, they good enough team outside of a slow maguire. If they win it, we don't live far enough away and hear about it for the next 20yrs.

If they win it then I'll be dead before the hype dies down if 66 is anything to go by

Argentina weren't that great when winning last years Copa America, stumbled over the line against Brazil in a low quality final and Colombia in the semi final on penalties in their last two matches yet it seems the hype they got from that trophy win has got to their heads.

Looks like England's World Cup to lose however with Southgate as manager they could be left disappointed again.

They won't win, for the same reason they backed down on their arm band protest. You either have guts or you haven't. They will eventually serve up a feeble performance like the Euro final against Italy. As always a few jammy  decisions will go their way and insufferable bollockes like Piers Morgan will be tweeting it's coming home. It will prove great entertainment in the end with Grealish or 'Arry blasting a peno up to Row Z as a gang of Arab shieks scamper out of the way.

They're soccer players guts are few and far between and that goes for nearly all countries

I'm hoping as soon as they play anyone half decent Southgate will revert to type and have all his defensive midfielders on to cover his dodgy centre backs effectively putting a handbrake on the team and hopefully screwing up another great chance for them. Southgate is a spoofer and if they fail this time they will look back in years to come at 2018/20/22 tournaments as real missed chances
