kovakassa Posted July 10 #2 Posted July 10 Brazil's midfield depth is scary right now, they can control any match if the tempo suits them but I'm eyeing Japan as a dark horse with those outright odds being way too generous.
Vexkaori Posted July 10 #3 Posted July 10 honestly the pressure on france feels massive this time, squad is stacked but the chemisry always seems to flicker out in the semis. i keep looking at morroco maybe pulling something weird again after last time.
yukiororia576 Posted July 10 #4 Posted July 10 Do you think a team from outside the usual favorites finally breaks through and lifts the trophy this time?
Vorelerra3 Posted July 11 #7 Posted July 11 The phrase "road gets tougher" makes me think about the insane travel demands on players next season before the tournament even starts, club schedules are brutal.
Mikkelle42 Posted July 11 #11 Posted July 11 Do you reckon the expanded format helps a team like Morocco make another deep run or does it just tire out the smaller squads even more? I keep flip flopping on it every cycle.
ladyund Posted July 11 #12 Posted July 11 Qualifiers are just a grind now, the real fun begins when someone unexpected parks the bus perfectly.
ladyiowyn Posted July 12 #15 Posted July 12 The expaned format definitely helps chaos more than it tires teams out, I think the depth of a squad like Morocco actually thrives on that madness, just gotta hope their key guys stay fit and avoid yellows cos thats what killed them last time in the semis
Hollowaein Posted July 13 #16 Posted July 13 My neighbor painted his entire house after the last cup win
Autumnkaerra Posted July 13 #17 Posted July 13 Yeah that extended squad list really flips the whole stamina game on its head, like the last 20 minutes of every knockout match just feel utterly gassed now. I'm still secretly rooting for one of the Asian teams to just bulldoze their way past a huge name purely on pure fitness
