jaggy Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 It’s wide open at the moment and very interesting. Croatia and Belgium looking good, but other teams could start to improve. Also will the great players like Ronaldo or Messi have enough impact to drive their countries to the final? England will score goals through Kane, but is there defence good enough? And there’s always Brazil. Should be a great few weeks ahead. I’m hoping for Spain but I’m not sure if they’re good enough just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Dastardly Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Statistically it is rare to get a first time winner away from home. It is also rare to get a win in another continent.  I think that would leave France Spain England and Russia.  and I don’t fancy any of them    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. 7 of the 20 tournaments have been won by a country from another continent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggy Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I think what DD is getting at is so far all winners have been from Europe or South America, but it's rare for them to win on the opposite continent, only twice. The other 5 you mentioned were played in North America, Africa and Asia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
