My World Cup Predictions

in #fifa7 years ago (edited)

The World Cup is about to kick off and that means prediction time. Personally I think the finalists will be France and Germany with Spain 3rd and Belgium 4th. Some of the dark horses might be Senegal, Belgium and Uruguay.
Comment who you think the winner is and your dark horses of the tournament .
These are my group predictions

Group A
The teams in Group A are Russia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Uruguay. I am pretty confident when I say Uruguay are going to top the group and Saudi Arabia finish last. In order to predict 2nd place, you have to consider two things: Egypt have arguably the best player in the world right now in Mohamed Salah and Russia have the home advantage. If Salah recovers from his shoulder injury he obtained in the UCL final, then I believe Egypt will get the second place spot. If his recovery takes longer than expected to recover, Russia will take second. Final prediction: Uruguay 1st Egypt 2nd Russia 3rd Saudi Arabia 4th
Group B
In group b, we have Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Iran. I can see Iran finishing last and Morocco 3rd so that gives round of 16 tickets to Portugal and Spain. The match between the Iberian giants will be a tough one but in my mind I see Spain coming out on top winning all their matches. Final prediction: Spain 1st Portugal 2nd Morocco 3rd Iran 4th
Group C
Group C contains France, Australia, Peru and Denmark. I only see one team winning this group which is France. Denmark will be second, Peru 3rd and Australia last. France have a team filled with superstars in every position. A little fun fact is that every player in the French squad other than (Pavard of Stuttgart) will play in either the UEFA or EUROPA leagues next season if they dont move. Final prediction: France 1st Denmark 2nd Peru 3rd Australia 4th
Group D
The group of death in this world cup is group d which has Argentina, Iceland, Nigeria and Croatia in it. Considering their squad I think that Croatia will come out on top and a surprising second place finish by Nigeria. Before you start to wonder why Argentina are getting eliminated consider that they lost 6-1 to Spain and 4-2 to Nigeria. Although Messi was not playing in those games, Argentina have proven that they NEED Messi in order to win matches and I dont think Messi can carry his team all the way to the round of 16. Final predictions: 1st Croatia Nigeria 2nd Argentina 3rd Iceland 4th
Group E
Lets make this quick, Brazil 1st Serbia 2nd Switzerland 3rd Costa Rica 4th
Group F
Germany first for sure and Sweden second. The reason I say Sweden instead of Mexico is because Sweden killed Italian dreams when they qualified for the world cup, Thy have been know to win against big teams such as France, Denmark and Italy. Final prediction: Germany 1st Sweden 2nd Mexico 3rd South Korea 4th
Group G
In my opinion, Belgium are the stronger side than England with the attacking options of Hazard and Lukaku and defense of Courtois, Kompany and Vertonghen. They will take the first spot and England will get second place. Final pediction: Belgium 1st England 2nd Tunisia 3rd Panama 4th
Group H
This might upset a lot of people but I see Senegal coming out on top and Columbia finishing second. Lewandowski does not have what it takes to carry Poland to the next round. Senegal has the strongest team in the group with names like Mane and Koulibaly. Final prediction: Senegal 1st Columbia 2nd Poland 3rd Japan 4th
