As the old saying goes:
"Tanta paz lleves como descanso dejas"
 
We take Brazil to penalties where we beat them,them stars won't handle the pressure

Because almost every young kid tries it the talent pool is simply insane, even at the beer league level you already have a lot of really skilled and athletic guys, and every single league above gets so much better.

That's where the "you just need a ball" part comes into play, not everyone can just try out hockey, in fact that is really limited to a few people in comparison. Or true american football. Not everyone wants to fight for a sport, tennis is not available to every kid etc. etc.
Very well said,many people that arent familiar with football fail to realize this.
 
Croatia made the final in 2018. What do you mean "weak"?

Made 2 semi finals and the countrys only existed since the 90s. They surpassed the Czechs as the best Austro-Hungarian successor state.
Really? If Croatia would play against one of the "big 9" teams, they always are the underdog, now, in the 90s, 00s, 10s.

Croatia is top 15/20.
 
Prediction quarter finals;
Brazil vs Croatia 4-1
Argentina vs Netherlands 1-1 (Argentina goes through)
Portugal vs Morocco 1-0
France vs England 2-2 (France goes through)
 
Most European or South American athletes in any sport likely wanted to be soccer players but couldn't hack it.

Hakeem Olajuwon grew up a massive soccer fan but once he got too big and clumsy for it, tried basketball and went on to become an NBA Hall of Famer.

Steve Nash admittedly likes soccer more but just wasn't good enough to become a pro. So he had to settle for being a two-time NBA MVP and 8-time all-star.

Same with Rafael Nadal, Anderson Silva, etc., etc.

To seriously discuss whether soccer is the GOAT sport is retarded.
Goat 3rd world sport.
 
Got this weird feeling England is gonna beat France but the game has the potential to be super boring as both teams play defensive and reservedly.

Portugal looked like potential winners of the whole thing the other night. And Brazil that first half will beat anyone.

This is one of the most competitive world cups I've ever seen, can't wait to see how it plays out.
 
Ronaldo carried Portugal for 9 tournaments, since 2004, for almost 20 years he was the biggest hope of one Nation but Portugal couldn't carry CR7 for one last fucking tournament.

That's all I have to say. That's such a big betrayal. Shame on the whole Team, who grow up jerking off to Ronaldo. Shame to Santos, who should be grateful that Ronaldo kept guys like Quaresma and Pepe 2016 together to win the Euro Cup. Shame to the Porteguese people, bc Ronaldo but Portugal on the Map.

The undisputed GOAT

Agreed
 


After the Switzerland game his teammates stuck up for Ronaldo. Either hes built up a lot of good will in the past and they are willing to cover up a temper tantrum slide or said temper tantrum never happened. Even the coach said he'd still start Ronaldo some games(though I'm not sure I believe that one).
