Quote from: Danihel Txechescu on Yesterday at 06:38:14 PMYou guys seem to be underestimating the "local" factor for Canada and USA.

Hmm, well I don't think USA would be the favourite against Argentina either way, home advantage or not. Maybe I underestimated Canada? We'll see I guess.

On the other hand, I gave Mexico the win over England, which may have been at least partly wishful thinking.


Anyway, looking forward to your prediction!

My best wishes and condolences, Baron, for both you and your family.

Quote from: Sir Lüc on Yesterday at 10:01:59 AMI for one am happy to report that, for the third edition in a row, my home country is boycotting a World Cup held in an authoritarian regime. (For a country so obsessed about football, we sure are rubbish at it lately. Luckily, I dislike both the game and the obsession, so I shall continue blissfully ignoring the plight of my compatriots.)

Didn't Italy simply fail to qualify for the World Cup? I don't think that's a boycott unless you say they played badly so they didn't have to go? :-)

Duh, the decades long ineptitude and mismanagement in the Italian football federation is obviously all a long ploy to avoid Russia, Qatar and the US.
