I find it highly disappointing that the WC doesn't have a Greece/Leicester story in the modern era.

It's always one of the big favourites winning it in my lifetime.
Some people think Ecuador might this time but I think it's a step too far.

As Porque says you get your South Koreas, Ghanas, Moroccos, Bulgarias, Swedens who go far. But when they get to the semis they cannot take the last step to the main game.

Maybe the closest would be Croatia. I considered them a very strong team, but they were still ultimately a small nation and not a football superpower. Got to a final 9though got pumped) and two semis despise only being formed in the 90s. Very impressive.

Belgium should have won the 2018 WC. They had a ridiculous squad and France got lucky in the Belgium game where the Reds were the better team iirc.

They had Prime Hazard (the actual best player over 90 minutes in that WC) and KDB and people like Mertens, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Lukaku, Witsel in their absolute peaks.

They also had the greatest plan B option Fellaini who was incredible at being a plan B targetman in the box in clutch moments.

Recently, Hazard said the only dribbler better than him was Messi.

Picked himself ahead of Neymar. That’s a really debatable one.

Also picked himself over Lamine which I agree with.
Nah he's right.

Both him and Neymar have the same level of dribbling ability but Hazard has more strength and uses his ass better. :lol:

Think it's very subjective..they're both so good at it that either opinion is reasonable. Neymar and hazard.

Iniesta up with them too imo. Ribery not far off.

🎙️Szczęsny on Flick’s ego kills success comment.

🗣️: “After the draw against Rayo, Flick said that ego kills success. I think he was right. Just because we won three trophies last season and played beautiful football doesn’t mean it’ll be easy this year. It’ll be harder. You have to prove yourself over and over again, that’s what great champions do. Look at Robert (Lewandowski), 16 years, 14 titles. It’s about humility, hard work, and consistency.”
