FIFA World Cup '18 Winner Poll

i think South American countries should stop selling their talents to european clubs , keep them in their campionships so they know how to play together... i'm barely interested in Soccer since they killed the 3 foreign players on the field limitations.

I agree to a certain extent. When Italy won their last cup, their team was the only one whose entire squad was home based.

Financial issues force South American players outside and they tend to generally benefit, as seen with someone like Messi. Still, I fondly recall the days of 3 foreigners only. Home grown talent would be given a better chance.

@Umbra Big money has wrecked it all. The 3 foreigners rule ensured great World Cups because you knew each team was rock solid, more or less. Just look at what happened this time around. Club football has put a dent in National squad quality. Youth players never get a chance because they just buy someone and leave the good local talent to rot.
 
After today's awful match, I will be changing my vote to France. :(

@Tiny, you made your choice and now you can't change it just because your team lost. That is not fair play (a bit like Neymar and his cheating)

Did i forget to say that there was a prize for the correct guess ................. just protecting my own interests you understand mate

Neymar should win a Oscar for his great acting skills.

It's 3 hours to Judgement Day for Sweden vs England and my heart rate is already now high. :D May the best team win. :emoji_beer::emoji_popcorn:
 
I really thought Uruguay was going to take the whole thing, but it will likely be England at this point. Still got hope for the Croatian underdogs. Unfortunately, Belgium won't stand a chance against France unless France scores on themselves like Brazil did.
