And I really wouldn't compare football from 70 years ago with modern football.
Let's not try to downplay what's happening here please...
Don't mind him. He's just a bitter English nationalist.

Which two teams will make the final?

Argentina and Brazil.

Messi.

Who will win best player?

Messi.

Who will be the surprise team (defined as a team who punches well above their weight and exceeds expectations ala Costa Rica 2014, Turkey 2002)?

Russia. Golovin top player and needed at Arsenal.

Predict England's performance.

Lose in Quarter-Final. Perform quite well.

don't see there being a clear one this year... hopefully Egypt on the shoulders of the prophet mohammed.

Predict England's performance.

ditto Goof's, but i think they will get absolutely smashed in the quarters and we will all be very sad.

Brazil, I don't think the 'it's in Europe so a European team will win it' means much as 95% of South Americans play here anyway.

Brazil and Argentina.

Who will be the tournament's top goal scorer?

Sir Harry Edward Kane of England.

Who will win best player?

Messi.

Russia and Egypt are good shouts.

Predict England's performance.

Win first two, lose vs Belgium, win second round knockout, lose quarter final vs Brazil. Harry Kane's seven goals along the way should be enough for the Golden Boot.
Interesting.

Never know in footy.

I definitely underrated France though, and let my Messi man crush get to me

Good point, well made.


BUT

Croatia all over France in the first five minutes. Modric could have stolen in there to score had he not fouled Umtiti. France need to up their game.
