So 3 out of the 4 have never won the trophy, but my guess is the 1 - Uruguay (perhaps the garlic munchers) are extremely tough to beat and should make the Final.
The other Finalist being Croatia.
Uruguay v Croatia in the Final.
After 12 years England make it but if they're to advance, another penalty shoot out victory is needed.
1 Uruguay v France.
2 impressive teams and hard to beat. But Uruguay have the best attack - Cavani and Suarez and equally good defense marshalled by Godin.
France are almost equal to them but Oscar Tabarez is a wily old manager and it's here they have the edge.
Uruguay to win 2-1
2 Brazil v Belgium
Belgium have the 2nd best attack but a bit shaky at the back. Can Neymar turn things?
Gonna be close but I'm going Belgium.
Belgium 3-2
3 Russia v Croatia
Can the Russians hold out? I said at the start they'll have a good tournament and would back them again except that Croatia are the real deal.
Got a bit lucky against Denmark in the shootout but will put them in good stead.
Croatia 2-0
4 Sweden v England
Has the draw written all over it. To win England must score first. But I don't see any goals here even with Mr Kane on fire unless VAR intervened to give a penalty.
0-0 all the way to a shootout.
Your guess is as good as mine but if the Swedes are confident enough to play for it, then you'd expect them to win.
0-0 (maybe 1-1). Sweden to win on penalties

I want France to beat Uruguay and Belgium to beat Brazil. That will get the last of the big time cheaters out of the tournament.
Russia to beat Croatia because Putin has ordered the Croats to lose or be annexed. Plus Russia would suit England better than Croatia as Semi Final opponents.
England to beat Sweden and make it an almost European last 4. I say almost as much of Russia is in Asia.
If they did actually go on to win it they could claim to be the first Asian side to win the World Cup
Belgium v England in the Final.
KTF, It's coming home, even Southgate's waistcoat thinks so.....
Is bizarre that even with England's relatively low ranking, that we could win the World Cup without having to beat anyone ranked above us.
Well I got Belgium to beat Brazil right but Uruguay was doomed without Cavani.
But France are peaking admirably you got to admit.
Still I expect Croatia to end Russia's interest and a draw (90mins) in the other.
Kane should pair with Rashford and keep Sterling as an impact sub
Pele overrated now I'm beginning to think the same about Neymar. If he weren't Brazilian he'd struggle to get on Derby's bench!

Neymar has always been overrated
