See you haven’t got Portugal going through in Group H. They have a lot of talented players but at least one big side usually does go out in the groups. Also I thought Portugal were poor at the Euros last year despite having Ronaldo, Fernandes, Silva, Felix, Jota, Dias, Cancelo etc I’m feeling like there’s potential for them to flop. Also, I didn’t want my predictions to be completely boring lmao. Dude, you put that more than one whale was going to pass. I didn't even know whales could play football! How is that boring!?

Let's see if France can end the curse they started..
Any European Team that wins the World Cup gets knocked out of the Group Stages at the next one.
France
Won France 98/Knocked out of Group stage Korea/Japan 02.
Italy
Won Germany 06/ Knocked out of Group stage South Africa 10.
Spain
Won South Africa 10/ Knocked out of Group stage Brazil 14.
Germany
Won Brazil 14/ Knocked out of Group stage Russia 18.
Brazil were the last winners to advance past the Group stages at the next World Cup.. and as they are South American it is clearly a European thing. ;D

I want USA to do well as an American. I also want France and Canada to do well also due to my heritage. If Ireland would've qualified I'd root for them too.

I doubt the Canadians are gonna really compete for the WC, but at least a win would be fine.

I didn't even realize the Euro Champions Italy didn't qualify. They looked damn near unbeatable on that huge run of going undefeated and then seemed to revert back to the team that didn't qualify for 2018.

As usual I’ll be cheering for Brazil.
How bad is Iran going to get smoked by England? I’m thinking 4-0.

I dunno, Iran are decent (ranked #20 in the World) and England have a tendency to have a poor start. I don't think our group will be easy by any stretch. Looking forward to the England/USA banter again though.

So apparently the rumor is that Qatar tried to bribe 8 Ecuadorian players to lose the opener.
What a shitshow this World Cup is, I just hope that something really heinous doesn’t happen.

There are already videos of Saudi security getting pissy with live reporters who have all the paperwork to be there reporting but they're still trying to grab their cameras and threatening to break them and shit, it's already getting very close to a serious issue They also backed out on selling alcohol at the venues unless you have a special ID that costs 19,000 Qatar currency to own. So they lost their 75 Million Dollar Budweiser sponsorship right before the games begin lmfao That's not even factoring in the whole "Thousands of migrant workers died building the stadiums they didn't have over the course of a decade also they all lived in literal squalor outside of city limits" thing that keeps boiling to the surface...

I’m almost more interested in the inevitable circus that’ll ensue here rather than the football. The alcohol thing is seriously underhanded on the part of the Qataris, who will never have wanted it but knew full well they were expected to allow it, and have done their U-turn at the eleventh hour knowing full well they’ve now got FIFA over a barrel. Apparently they’re now cutting the cash allowances given to the pretend supporters, and I’m just waiting for reports of them being arrested and/or beaten up for not cheering loud enough or something.
But obviously it hasn’t stopped Gianni Infantino from going on a mental hour-long public tirade about why it was correct to award the tournament to Qatar and how mean everyone was being about them.

FIFA made their bed by giving them the tournament, now they gotta sleep in it. Suffer in your jocks.

I am black. I am furry. I am hot woman with IBS. I am Alpha Centauri. Who would throw stones at me knowing I'm all these things?" bit. What is it with these gargoyles man .... get original!!! 2) Infantino?! LMAO
