I wonder why don't the fifa bracket let you select the 3rd and 4th place, not even as a tie breaker. It is still an official world cup game, after all
We are not a bad team, in fact English team has some experienced world class players who can win any match against any team. Few days ago we won World Cup T20 cricket, before then we won World cup ODI. Currently we are holding both trophy. In recent times World cup means England to take the trophy at home. Why would we have different this time 😉
Maybe, maybe England really is the underestimated top favorite then. We will see. Their group doesn't look to difficult at least: Iran, United States & Wales - not really the who's who of football.
However, the match against Wales at least should be very interesting because of the rivalry.
Difference is that France has world class defense and midfield behind those strikers as well. And they are not crazy enough to play with more than 3 of them in the first team. That being said France looked terrible in Nations League so I am not sure what to expect here. They will probably do good since they are usually really though to break down and that attack can score against anybody while motivation shouldn't be a problem in World Cup like it maybe was in those glorified friendlies.
I do believe that if France starts the tournament well in the group stage, they can go quite far with the motivation that comes from that. And lets be real Australia, Denmark and Tunisia are also quite easy opponents.
England and Netherland are the understimated big players in this tournament. England has all their players in the Premier League and their manager is doing a great job, at this point a coesive and well managed team is favorite against one only with stars and good players. Word is they are suffering with the heath, tough.
France can win without Benzema, as they did in 2018, but there are other big players that didn't even went to the cup list, they still have quality but it will be a challenge that they may or may not pass, but the situation tend to improve the longer they keep in the competition.
