Sports FOOTBALL: 2026 FIFA World Cup

[brazil]

Let's get some football talk going with world cup that will start June, 11th in Mexico City.

Qualifiers are on going, with the increased of number of teams... qualifiers are in most of the cases a piece of cake, this time even Italy should qualify... Italy

LV odds show
1. Spain 9/2
2. France 13/2
3. England (??) 7/1
4. Brazil 8/1
5. Argentina 10/1

I think Spain is the consensus as the favorites now I don't get the love of England... I also don't get Argentina at 5... at 10/1 it is a solid bet to make tbh... Messi is older but dude is preserving himself in MLS, Argentina just won one and should be imo as a clear 2. Put Portugal instead of England... I'd go 1. Spain 2. Argentina and then France, Portugal and Brazil eventhough they suck, Carlo is the coach and usual have talents on attack

What is the rationale behind having Argentina below Brazil and England? Literally world champions, Copa América winners of the last 2 editions, spanked Brazil in their last match... Messi might not make it but team has proven to play at the same level without him. I don't get it.

Haven't the previous winners crashed out badly in the following WC for a while?

What does that have to do with anything? Argentina is playing superb RIGHT NOW, are they supposed to be rated lower than Brazil because Argentina won a lot recently? What kind of logic is that?

There was indeed a bit of that but it stopped last world cup, France ended up runners up after winning the previous one

I agree I don't get it, maybe Vegas considers Messi is too old to carry the team till the end.. makes 0 sense. I understand Spain being number 1 but Argentina should be right there and not below fucking England

I don't give a crap about ratings. They never matter that much. Just saying. Don't have a hissy fit.

Got informed by FIFA just yesterday that I was not picked in the ticket draw. It's going to be ungodly expensive to attend these games... I'll try to hit one of the trash group stage games between Bratislava and Nowhereistan just to say I went.

I had tickets to the entire US Group Stage for Brail 2014 and ended up no being able to go... still have regrets about that.

That sucks man.. I saw 7 games of the 2014 world cup including the 2 semi finals.. dat 7 to 1... crazy atmospher as you can imagine. I had VIP tickets for France Germany at the Maracana... great stuff even with the loss

Well the good/bad news is that you're spared from buying tickets to a game in Boston that eventually gets cancelled and moved to Florida or some nonsense and you're stuck figuring out how to get a refund from shady ass FIFA

Are you a Frenchman living in Brazil? Or did you travel there? Just curious because of your username.
PS: heartbreaking WC for us, but redemption is sweet.

Indeed, I’m French living in Brazil since 2005 and now working for a German company. We also had a brief period living in Detroit (3 years) between 2010 and 2013
