October 9, 20179 yr Author This year's World Cup is going to have no less than 8 teams w/ a LEGIT shot at winning it. 1. Belgium 2. France 3. Germany 4. Spain 5. Portugal 6. Brazil 7. Argentina (if they make it) 8. England....just kidding. I've been a fan of West Germany/Germany since I was a little kid. I'm going to be cheering fr USA first (until they're knocked out), but I'll be pulling for Germany without a doubt. Here's hoping they become the 3rd country to get consecutive World Cup wins.
October 9, 20179 yr The Argentina thing is fascinating. Boatloads of talent but have a not insignificant chance of missing the field entirely with a tough final game on the road at Ecuador in which they will almost certainly need at least a point.

I'm pretty behind on things this go around. What is the situation with Argentina and Brazil this time?
October 10, 20179 yr ICELAND! I'm sorry but I will be cheering my butt off against Iceland. They abort every child over there who has down syndrome. I hope they lose every game 10-0.

While there's some truth in your comment there is also a great deal false in what you've said. I'd encourage you to venture over to Snopes to get the full story. Beyond that, this is a soccer thread, so...ICELAND!

October 10, 20179 yr I'm pretty behind on things this go around. What is the situation with Argentina and Brazil this time? Brazil is cruising. Qualified over a month ago. Argentina is shockingly dropping games everywhere. If they lose tonight, they're out; no Messi at the World Cup. Crazy.
