Which country is going to win the Fifa World Cup?

If Spain does not win, i am going to start believing in any of the conspiracy theories i have come across these days...Twitter for example is full of them.

Spain 🇪🇸
Team that plays for the collective, where everyone stars together

Really looking forward to watching England in the 3rd and 4th place off.

Not lol 😆

According to X, Argentina for the win, with Spain winning the next world cup. And then according to the conspiracy theorists, the next 3 World Cups after Spain winning will be cancelled. Bookmark this...

Now at the finals i will definitely vote for Argentina

Out of the remaining teams only 4 are top level, so one of them is our likely champion - Argentina, France, Spain, England. 2nd tier - Portugal, Belguim. Darkhorse - Norway. One of these 7, but one is out today.

Argentina and Spain look the strongest contenders, in my opinion.

Ok, fun to revisit my original post and follow-ups. The 4 top teams all ended up in the semis (predictably) and I picked the two strongest ones correctly. Also, noted France's and Portugal's weakness and even got some scores/goal amounts right.

Now with Argentina actually having played a top notch opponent, I bet on Spain. Argentina is playing a dagerous game, where they fall behind late and have to rebound or concede equalizers when ahead. Spain's defense proved superb and neutralized some of the best attackers in the world, so that rebound trick is unlikely to work against Spain. Argentina's offense is stronger, they're better at longshots than France, and Messi is on fire. If he gets the 2nd WC he will remain in history as the best player of the century if not ever, I'm sure he's just as aware of that hehe. My take is 45% to ARG nd 55% to SPA. Interestingly, bookies also see Spain as the favorite. The score in this one is really hard to approximate, obviously. I would expect an U3 (max 3 goals) game, like with France, nothing like goal fiesta of the 2022 final and a tense game instead.

As for FRA - ENG, I really don't know lol. odds are skewed towards France. I don't think they are as clear of a favorite here as they are seen. They are bad vs defensive teams but England isn't one of them, though in the semi ENG's defense was doing well in the 1st half. Because of the England's tendency to concede 2g a game they will likely concede at least one and need to score 2g themselves against France's defense that is better than theirs. So, France is my pick here as a slight favorite. Is will be glad to be wrong on this game lol.

as for the above post .... while the 3rd place game is far from over , england's 2nd team seems better that france's #1 squad !

Wow, France looks like they're playing a friendly game today. 1st half France 0 England 4 xd

announcer just said 'best 45 minutes england has ever had in a world cup '.

According to social media its about Israel and Palestine since Argentinas president is pro (fascist) Israel and Spain isn't ^^

I barely had any interest either, I semi watched and did the washing up!

It was a good watch though.

Not posted since we lost, so I better say Congratulations to.....ah no, I'm not saying that at all!!

Come on Spain, batter those fouling, niggling, dark arts pests!!

i agree , root for spain to triumph .

A positive finish to England's world cup campaign, with a good 6-4 win over our French neighbours. The game is not important of course, but it restores some pride and was a great game to watch.

Have relatively little interest in the final - I'll root for Spain if I watch, as they better embody the positive side of the game than the unsavoury Argentinians.

Didnt even (partially) watch this third place match either so by the looks of it probably didnt miss anything spectacular so perhaps i should use same approach for world cup final aswell


... which probably means ARG wins 3:0 or something ...

Yeah true. You only missed an everyday 6:4. Nothing spectacular at all.

There are a lot of resentful Englishmen here. Speaking badly about Argentina. Perfect I'm enjoying it a lot.

Can Spain contain Argentina? We will see. England- France was a great game to watch.

A mí tampoco me interesaba casi nada, ¡solo miraba a medias y lavaba los platos!

Fue un buen espectáculo, sin embargo.

No he publicado nada desde que perdimos, así que mejor digo Felicitaciones a... ¡¡¡Ah, no, no voy a decir eso en absoluto!!!

¡Vamos España, aplasten a esas plagas inmundas, molestas y de artes oscuras!

Disgusting dark bugs? Have more pirate respect when you talk about others,

Un final positivo para la participación de Inglaterra en el Mundial, con una buena victoria por 6-4 sobre nuestros vecinos franceses. El partido no es lo más importante, por supuesto, pero nos devuelve el orgullo y fue un gran encuentro.

Tengo relativamente poco interés en la final; si la veo, animaré a España, ya que representan mejor el lado positivo del juego que los desagradables argentinos.

The only unpleasant thing was to see the pirates doing all the time in the 2nd half against Argentina. Does that represent the positive side of the game? Hahaha resentful

I'm going with Argentina as champions; I think it will be a very scrappy game given Spain's style, but Argentina will find openings through Messi and emerge as champions once again. 1-0.
