=> WC 2022 Final Betting Thread <= Place your bets.

Nah, just a betting pool amongst some of the players of the football team I play for.

No, my prediction was 2-1 for Croatia. As I also predicted correctly Morocco - France, I'm now in 1st place xd but that's purely because these matches awarded much more points.

I'm more in favor of Croatia. Morocco has played hyper defensively almost the entire tournament...except in the only match they lost. They had two scoreless draws and two matches that nearly ended in scoreless draws. So, they aren't really spectacular in the offensive department. If they really...

I think this was the game too many for Croatia. They gave a rather exhausted impression.

*sigh* my prediction went out of the window in the 100th minute again. You would think that for the amount these twats get paid to be 'professional' football players, they would have at least some basic discipline and self control. But noooooo, their mental capacity is as resilient as the 14th...

Well, that marks Belgium's 8th consecutive victory and 13th game without a loss during the WC Group Stage 1998 Belgium - The Netherlands = 0 - 0 Belgium - Mexico = 2 - 2 Belgium - South Korea = 1 - 1 2002 Belgium - Japan = 2 - 2 Belgium - Tunisia = 1 - 1 Belgium - Russia = 3 - 2 2014...

Argentina, what the fudge :headdesk: They really are the England of South America.

In general, they have good individual players. The problem is the general structure of their national football associations and lack of professionalism. This often results in a very warped power balance between the players, the coach and the association. The situation were a top player refuses...

To be fair I didn't really bother checking all the teams out and how well they did in the qualifying stage, but I indeed don't have much expectations for the African (and Asian teams for that matter) teams. Last WC all the African countries got eliminated in the group stage while only one Asian...

Figured as much. A WC is still something completely altogether. If you're going to make a team with questionable methods for the sole purpose of performing at the WC you're hosting, the pressure is going to be immense. It seems they buckled. Me and a few buddies have bet 10€ each on the...

That's four years and a world-wide pandemic ago. The Ecuadorian team is also one of the youngest participating.

That's because the moment they were chosen to organize the WC, they wanted to avoid a humiliation. Their initial plan was to simply recruit players from other countries that have ample professional football players in reserve (like Brazil), but the FIFA put a stop to that. So, they decided to...

1 - 3 for Ecuador.

Belgium is not anymore what it was in 2018. Tbh I don't really consider them a prime candidate for the title. What made them so strong, was a player in every line of absolute world class, who was then surrounded by 'lesser' gods. That's no longer the case, in particular the defense is...

Only, most of those teams are in the right bracket, while Argentina and France are in the left bracket. So, it pretty much comes down to it that Spain, Brazil, Belgium, Germany and Portugal are going to have to duke it amongst each others for a spot in the final, while the left bracket has far...
