England Russia WC 2018

[champs95]

At this moment in time, France and Croatia are not average.. They are the 2 best teams in the world on CURRENT form.. That is what a world cup is for, deciding these things.

But that doesn't mean that either of them are actually any good? More that the quality overall has been quite poor, poor German side, poor Brazil, poor Agentina, Belgium flattered to deceive .....

When Liecester won the Prem a few years back. They weren't the best team. They didn't go into win more. They just capatalised on the fact the other sides in the Prem that one season, where all very poor. They were the best, just out of a very average bunch.
This is no different.

And had Liecester, having got into a magnificent position, blown it vrs West Ham (not a top team, someone very beatable) with 2 games to go and not won the league that season, they have missed out on a once in a lifetime chance. And would be been gutted.
This is no different.


Also, Panama got into a WC, Italy didn't. In no way does that make Panama better than Italy. It's just the way these work out. There isn't much sense to it.

And it's not always the case the best team in any tournament will win it. Brazil where outstanding in 82, and got knocked out after 4 games.
