VAMOS ARGENTINA!!!

Hope South America win :). Bryon Castillo better be the fking MVP of this World Cup after what Chile put him through haha. Bet Peru are kicking themselves for not joining the Castillo lawsuit.

Tho I only see Brazil with a shot at winning it on the South America side. I don't think Argentina is that strong unless Messi goes Super Saiyan every game and wins by himself. The Defense and goalie are pretty shaky.

Shit, Alphonso Davies is injured, hopefully he'll make it back in time.

Edit: looks like Bayern medical staff said he should be back for WC

i'm rooting for Senegal as i hv Sadio Mane OTW in FIFA23. Even if he doesn't play it gets an upgrade if Senegal wins each game.

I am still not feeling it. Reason is the obvious one, The time it is taking place. Sure I will be excited once it starts. But really missing club football.

Meanwhile Götze is back in the squad. All in all, some weird choices by Flick which have received lots of criticism in Germany. Very uninspiring squad. Midfield is strong but everything else meh.

I was convinced he had retired before reading this post.

I think it's time for Brazil to take the cup, they have a very decent team.

Who are they mostly unhappy with? I had forgot kroos has retired, a real shame. I think Germany are missing a good ST and that will stop them winning it. Their backline looks suspect too.

I was convinced he had retired before reading this post.
He came really close to two years ago. Even though he was a free agent he found a team only in October. He had two good years at PSV. He returned in Bundesliga this summer with Eintracht where he's decent but nowhere near the old Gotze. No surprise Flick called him. He always had a crush on Gotze. He even wanted Bayern to (re)sign him in 2020 when his contract with Dortmund expired.

Who are they mostly unhappy with? I had forgot kroos has retired, a real shame. I think Germany are missing a good ST and that will stop them winning it. Their backline looks suspect too.

Most of the complaints are about leaving Hummels at home, who's having a great season at Dortmund, for the sake of Thilo Kehrer. They're also unhappy with not calling Gosens, who's their best player in the position, not calling a natural rb when he has said they will play with a back 4 and calling Adeyemi who has been very poor at Dortmund.

And yeah. I agree. They have a good squad and they do many things right but they lack the most important thing in football. A forward to send the ball in the back of the net. And that's why they won't go far in the tournament.

If i had to make a guess that's how they're gonna play:

Neuer
Kimmich - Rudiger - Sule/Schlotterbeck - Raum
Gundogan - Goretzka
Gnabry - Muller - Sane/Musiala
Havertz
