From what I have seen this world cup and the previous one. European power depends on what France and perhaps Spain can do. Germany and Italy are far from what they were and England is always a promise that never stops taking the leap to the next level. The rest of the 2nd and 3rd order European teams are too far away

I actually agree with that take after watching all the World Cup games this year. Right now, France still looks like Europes strongest side, and Spain isnt far behind. The way Germany played in their recent matches was an absolute disaster. They really didnt deserve to advance. They would have suffered a humiliating 0–10 defeat against Brazil or France. Lets see how Portugal plays in a bit, they need to step it up too, otherwise CR7 wont be winning that World Cup title before he retires. :sneaky:

It is impossible to predict, but France, Spain, and Argentina are the top favorites for the 2026 World Cup title.

The Chip in the ball left Croatia without a draw against Portugal and left it out of the world cup. What I don't understand is if the ball has a sensor and it is activated. Why did the referee of the game of the match go to the var to see the play? Because if the Croatian player actually touched the ball with his head, the other player was clearly ahead. I don't like some new rules at all. You have to trust what they show you with technology, but that is easily manipulated.

El chip en el balón dejó a Croacia sin empate contra Portugal y fuera del Mundial. Lo que no entiendo es que si el balón tiene un sensor y este se activa, ¿por qué el árbitro del partido recurrió al VAR para revisar la jugada? Porque si el jugador croata tocó el balón con la cabeza, el otro jugador estaba claramente en ventaja. No me gusta nada algunas reglas nuevas. Hay que confiar en lo que muestran con la tecnología, pero eso se puede manipular fácilmente.
A sensor is also used on the ball to check if it was a goal or not, and we don't see the referee going to the VAR to verify it. That's why it's rare that in yesterday's game the referee went to the VAR. Allegedly, the sensor indicated that the Croatian player touched the ball. And there is no picture to 100% confirm that the Croatian player touched the ball with his head.

Did you see the snicko graph, like they use in cricket? It showed a brush on the player, a noise basically.....so in reality, the ball brushed the defenders hair making the attacker offiside. This is NOT football, this is nonsense.....

On a lighter note, Cucerella's value just dropped by £10 million

What a goal there for the 2:2 wow. Messi might turn into Nessi if they really give that one away

I don't think Argentina is a top favourite anymore after that match against Cape Verde.
The number 1 shouldn't struggle against a tiny nation, first time at a world cup

It was a poor performance.
But I didn't see you saying anything about that PATHETIC performance from Germany against Paraguay.
So really in no position to take a shit on Austria :p

Kind of boring for Spain to face such a weak and scared opponent as Austria. Also for the spectators...going to play this in the background and only watch when something interesting is happening 🥱

No creo que Argentina siga siendo la principal favorita después de ese partido contra Cabo Verde.
El número 1 no debería tener problemas contra una nación pequeña, en su primera participación en un Mundial.
Argentina didn't play well. But Cape Verde didn't lose in the 90 minutes against anyone in this world cup. He tied with Uruguay and Spain and Argentina could barely win in extra time. Without a doubt, he did better in the world than many national teams:)

The Ref going to VAR was not about the the Croatian player touching the ball it was about the Portugal player touching the ball after the header and before the offside player touches it.
If he deliberately played at the ball (he did not) then the Croation player would have been onside as it would have been classed as a backpass. Ref's decision on deliberately playing the ball.

It was pretty suprising that Argentina could defeat Cape Verde Island with difficulties in overtime.

Cape Verde was awesome!
I was rooting for them to kick out Argentina. They would have deserved it.
Sorry to say but without Messi , Argentina would be just another team

Paraguay played very disgustingly against the French, the referee was very lenient with them.

the pundits are saying 'france won and soccer did too ' after paraguay's rough play and gamesmanship wasn't enough . the ref also didn't do much to keep things reasonable .

Guess you right - perhaps they should have given royal treatment to these opponent superstars and/or practice social distancing with them :unsure:
