I think that the main favorites for the World Cup are Brazil, France, Spain and Germany. I agree that Brazil is one of the most favourite nations to get the World Cup but for the others I have my doubts. Spain is ok, a good team and could go to the finals along with Argentina imo. For France, England and Germany, expectation >> reality especially if we talk about their horrible performance in Nations League. It is a shame although that league is almost friendly games but seeing their horrible performance send bad messages to their supporters and boost the confidence of their opponents. Right now no one having any doubt about Brazil which is surely showing how strong they are for this world cup but as you also mentioning others are having some issues like I have feeling pulling out Argentina is also not good because they are also good and can do much better until reach into last four with France is not good even on papers they are currently the toughest side but on ground we have different realities about them same happening in case of Germany they are also good but not enough to be in last four this time for me most chances we are going to have two teams from South America and two European sides for last four, and they are Argentina, Brazil, Netherlands and Croatia this time hyped teams are not going into last four specially France and England. Thank you for adding my national team, Croatia, to your list for the semi-finals. I sincerely hope that your prediction will come true  Many actually underestimate Croatia, they even speculate whether Croatia will even pass the group stage at the World Cup and enter the knockout phase of the competition, but Croatia is playing better and better every day and wins away such national teams like France and Denmark. This World Cup will be Messi's last, so I hope he will be able to reach the finals, and personally I think that Germany and Belgium also have a good chance for a big result at this World Cup. |

There is no doubt that Brazil is a country producing quality young players, there are many young players in their squad at the moment. But this is a World Cup where the quality of the players is not enough, they have to be mentally prepared for everything that will happen there. I hope this is not a problem for them, and the senior players on the team can provide motivation that can make the juniors more mentally and confident.
About the mentality to be prepared, I'd like to say something If can pick any squad, Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Australia, Ghana etc, from South America to Asia, Africa included, all teams have players with experience playing in Europe. Of course not all of them are playing in tier A teams like Real Madrid / Manchester City / Juventus etc, but they are in Europe playing among the best, and playing against the best, so the experience is not a problem anymore, in my opinion. Some years ago it was incredible to see the playing differences against every kind of soccer techniques, like South Americans vs Europeans, or Europeans vs Africans, but today the difference is very hard to see, because players are playing the same championships, coaches are training the teams equally, and there's a lot of foreigners coaching and even playing for another countries. You forgot South Korea and Japan there but I understand your points. Those countries might not have a lot of players in the A-tier league but they are still very good national teams to meet up with the World Cup level. The level difference is a small margin. I think thanks to the global nature of soccer has become, now the coach's teachings and training regiments can be received from country to country. Before it the EU and Latin America had the best chance to win a World Cup as it was completely their game. Now, this chance can also be seen in other zones, abit small but still there. It is true that South Korea and Japan are good teams, with my preference being Japan's team but they are going nowhere in this world cup. You can mark my word for it and I can even bet my last money on this. What I envisaged in this world cup is tougher than the two countries and one might crash at the group stage, while the other at the quarter-final. The only teams that might show some degree of surprise are the ones from the southern part of America, not the Asia extracts. Wasn't South Korea fourth in the world at the 2002 World Cup? I remember that at the last World Cup, Japan pretty much tortured one of the favorites, Belgium, in the knockout phase of the competition. I think that both teams have a chance, but personally I give better chances for a good result to teams from Africa. I personally have the feeling that at least one African national team could surprise this time and achieve a very good result, especially since they will be playing in climatic conditions that suit them. |

In fact, this World Cup in Qatar is going to be the best World Cup in history. Everyone is electing to make their party as strong as possible. This time Argentina, Brazil as the favorite team in the World Cup. They are in pretty good shape. The rest of the teams are working hard. I hope Qatar will present a good and spectacular World Cup this time.
How can you say that this will be the best world cup in history? Already some of the former players have spoken against the human rights abuses and corruption in Qatar. And fans are not happy with all the restrictions being imposed upon them. If you believe that splashing billions of USD just to show off their wealth can help Qatar, then you are wrong. They are yet to distribute fair compensation to the 6,000 plus workers who died during the construction of the world cup stadiums. I would rather say that this edition will be one of the worst in the history of FIFA and it will be like a black mark for them. I agree with you. Qatar won the organization of this World Cup in a very dubious way, labor rights were clearly violated, and for many fans it will be very difficult to get there due to high travel and accommodation costs. All this is very far from what we are used to seeing at the world championships in Brazil, Italy, Spain... where fans could truly enjoy the football spectacle. The fans are no longer important, only the money and earnings from the tournament. |

We have the final 4, but who is actually the favourite? Italy, Croatia, the Netherlands and Spain. Those are 4 countries with an excellent selection. I don't think we have a favorite. Italy has had a bad period by missing out on the World Cup due to the elimination against North Macedonia. The Netherlands has already reached the final once, but Italy is the reigning European champion. You can expect everything from Spain. The title but also a defeat. When is the draw for the semi-finals? I understand that the matches are played in the Netherlands, which is a huge advantage for the Netherlands team.
I would call Italy the main favorite, because one should expect extreme motivation from them due to the fact that they miss the World Cup and are now forced to fight for at least some title. But the final part will be held as early as June 2023 and it is difficult to say how much strength the players will have after the most difficult season, and in general it is difficult to predict for such a long time ahead. Why do you think Italy will be the most motivated at the tournament? What about Croatia, which has never won anything, or the Netherlands, which won its last trophy back in 1984? Croatia has already proven its quality by winning first place in a very difficult group with France and Denmark, after losing the first match in the group against Austria at home. Personally, I think that we will see a very uncertain tournament, and that there are no real favorites. I don't think home ground will be a big advantage for the Netherlands. |

Snip.
I can't Really tell when Ronaldo will retire but it seems anytime soon. I'm sure Ronaldo won't play Champions league again till he retires, that's is why he was looking for a way to leave Manchester United because he knew this Champions league is just the last chance for him and never wanted to miss it . Age is really affecting Ronaldo's right now, because he is not too much active the way he used to be. If I can remember Ronaldo have only scored 1 goal for Manchester United in Europa League this season. This time I don't agree with you, Ronaldo still has a chance to play in the Champions League. Ronaldo contract with Manchester United is almost complete, after which Ronaldo will be on a free transfer. Big teams in Europe don't mind hosting Ronaldo because they can get Ronaldo services for free. Even though Ronaldo is absent in the Champions League, he still has the opportunity to play in the most elite League on the European continent because his charm is still able to attract big teams when he is on a free transfer. After all, before his contract runs out and if there is a team that is interested in signing him, then his signing can happen or can be done in the next transfer window in January. For some reason I feel maybe Ronaldo will move clubs in the next transfer window, because basically Chelsea with their new boss previously wanted to sign Ronaldo but the previous coach Tuchel had no interest in including Ronaldo in his plans. Now that Tuchel has been sacked, so it's very likely Todd Boehly will finally bring Ronaldo to Chelsea, if that happens then it might be the last team Ronaldo can play in the Champions League. Ronaldo does have ambitions to play in the Champions League, so I also predict he will try to move to a team that plays in the Champions League. It is true that Chelsea are the most likely to bring in Ronaldo, because only a few clubs are able to spend money to pay Ronaldo's very high salary. And from the many reports circulating, Todd Boehly really wants to bring Ronaldo to Chelsea. Meanwhile, when Todd Boehly wanted to sign Ronaldo in the transfer market this summer, the plan was rejected by Tuchel, that is why there is a possibility that Chelsea will continue to pursue Ronaldo. The problem is that Chelsea's chances of qualifying for the next round in the Champions League are very small, if we look at Chelsea in Group E being in the lowest position right now. So Ronaldo's move to Chelsea in the January transfer window could fail if Chelsea fail to qualify for the next round in the Champions League. I also heard rumor that Tuchel was fired from Chelsea not because of bad results but because he opposed the plan of the club's management to bring Ronaldo to the club. It's hard to know what the real truth is, but Ronaldo is clearly in a major playing crisis and the question is how much he could really help Chelsea. From a marketing point of view, however, it would be a very profitable decision for the club and this is probably the main reason why the Chelsea owner wants to bring Ronaldo to the club. Chelsea started very badly in their Champions League group, but they still haven't lost their chance to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Everything depends on the next 2 matches with Milan. |

It's not hard to rank up or gain merits here, but when you first join the forum it really seems impossible. I remember when I joined I was pretty lost and probably made alot of post that made me look really stupid and desperate. Merit wasn't a thing then just had to post and get activity every couple weeks. I still felt intimidated a bit by the higher ups on the forum. I even got banned for 2 weeks for spamming while wearing a sig. Made me feel really stupid at the time.
My advice, don't worry about anything but joining in conversations and offer genuine advice/help to those whom you are replying to. Don't force anything and don't be too pushy. Just participate in conversation and everything will start coming. 1 day you'll wake up and find people started reading your posts and meriting you and you weren't even expecting it. Posting is easy, just make sure you aren't spamming.
This is one of the best tips I've read lately on the forum and I totally agree with you. I felt very similar when I first joined the forum. I knew next to nothing about bitcoin or crypto and didn't know what to write about. However, similar to you, I started reading the posts of older and more experienced forum members, learning from them and getting involved in the forum discussions a bit. That's the only right way. There is no shortcut how someone can overnight become a member of the forum with a higher rank and a greater number of merits. Every achievement is the result of one's own work and investment. |

Rikafip, hvala ti što se toliko trudiš oko ovih mjesečnih analiza našeg lokala. Znao sam da imamo veliki pad aktivnosti ali nisam uopće imao ideju da je pad tako drastičan, sa 2000 postova mjesečno na samo 250. WOW. Nadam se da se nećemo uskoro spustiti i ispod 100. Eto, jedino čega nam trenutno ne fali su meriti ali kada je tako malo postova, nemaš ih gdje ni podijeliti. A još kada pomislim da sam gotovo pola kolovoza bio na moru i da uopće nisam bio na forumu ni Internetu, bio sam siguran da neću biti ni među prvih deset Ovaj trol nam je baš dobro došao da nam se malo podigne lokalna statistika, barem neka korist od njega |

This forum is the most beneficial for the crypto beginners because they can learn a lot about crypto and can also earn by joining Bounties. In this forum anything about crypto can be learnt by asking questions or by searching through the forum.
It seems to me that at the beginning of this forum, many more users wanted to learn something about crypto and also meet crypto enthusiasts from all over the world. We all got along really well and had a fan time. Unfortunately, recently there is a visible trend of decreasing activity on the forum, there are fewer and fewer active members and interesting topics, and almost the only reason for the arrival of new members is the possibility of earning money on the forum. Fortunately, we still have good fun and communication in my local part of the forum |

I agree that it is important what kind of information we receive, but our own judgment of such information is also important.
I have been in cryptocurrency for a long time, but I remember that many of my friends got information about bitcoin at the same time as me, around 2013 and 2014, when the value of bitcoin was under $1000, but their assessment was that bitcoin is something irrelevant , a project that will not succeed.
Of course, they now regret their misjudgment.
There is a lot of information on the Internet, both false and true, and it is often difficult to separate good and useful information from bad information.
You need to know how to analyze information, research and come to the right conclusion.

Evo vam bitcoinaši jedan članak koji opisuje Nakamotov izum onakvim kakav zaista jest - društvena igra. Pošto postoji puno dezinformacija o tome što je taj lik ustvari izmislio ovo će vam dobro doći. Sažetak Ekonomija je sustav proizvodnje i razmjene resursa. Novac je specifična vrsta resursa koja ima značajke poput trajnosti, prenosivosti, djeljivosti, uniformnosti i prihvatljivosti. Godine 2008. osoba ili grupa pod imenom Satoshi Nakamoto navodno je izmislila sustav plaćanja koji proizvodi i razmjenjuje novac u obliku elektroničkih kovanica, općenito poznatih kao “bitcoini”. Ovdje ćemo koristiti Nakamotovu vlastitu definiciju kovanica kako bismo pokazali da on nije izmislio navedeni sustav, nego društvenu igru. U toj igri, kriptografski potpisane numeričke atribucije zapisuju se u distribuiranu bazu podataka naziva “blockchain”. Taj zapis simulira evidentiranje količina kakvo se provodi kod proizvodnje ili razmjene resursa. Kako Nakamotov izum ne proizvodi i ne razmjenjuje resurse, to ga čini igrom u stilu Monopolija, a ne nečim što ima veze s ekonomijom i novcem. Članak se nalazi ovdje: https://btcigra.wordpress.com/Zanimljivo mišljenje ali radi se o tvojim osobnim stavovima, i osobnim stavovima drugih autora na blogu, bez ikakvog praktičnog značenja. Ono što je puno važnije za korisnike kriptovaluta je što o tome kažu službene institucije RH i EU, jer po tim pravilima i zakonima društvo, pa i kripto industrija, funkcionira, dok anonimna mišljenja na forumu nemaju apsolutno nikakvog značaja, osim razonode za dokone čitatelje. Ovo je službeno mišljenje Hrvatske narodne banke: https://www.hnb.hr/-/sto-su-virtualne-valute-''Virtualne valute jesu digitalni prikaz vrijednosti i mogu se smatrati specifičnom vrstom imovine koju su njezini imatelji spremni držati i/ili elektronički razmjenjivati te se sporadično njome koristiti za plaćanja.''Također, u službenom mišljenju porezne uprave navedeno je slijedeće: https://www.porezna-uprava.hr/HR_publikacije/Lists/mislenje33/Display.aspx?id=19590''Trgovanje bitcoinima smatra se financijskom transakcijom, sukladno presudi Suda EU-a u predmetu C-264/14, od 22. listopada 2015. te se slijedom prethodno navedenog, na dohodak ostvaren po osnovi trgovanja bitcoinima, kao i svim ostalim kriptovalutama, plaća porez na dohodak po osnovi kapitalnih dobitaka''Mislim da su službena mišljenja porezne uprave RH, Hrvatske narodne banke i Suda EU sasvim jasna po pitanju toga što je kripto, pa očekujem da ćeš kao odgovorni građanin to prihvatiti i prestati širiti dezinformacije u javnosti, što je, kao što znaš, kazneno djelo. |

Zakonodavci su shvatili da se radi o velikom financijskom kolaču na koji oni žele staviti svoju poreznu "šapu" i izvući što više novca, jer naravno, državi i njenim uhljebima nikad dosta A možda mogu napraviti još jedan veliki ''posao'' do velikog globalnog kolapsa, i time i usrećiti svoje šefove  Mene zaista vise plasi to sto "zakonodavac" uzima potunu kontrolu (moc korumpira), stavljna nas sviju u moderno ropstvo (kao sto @dkbit98 vec kaze) i moze da ti da smrtnu kaznu bez ikakvog suda ili cak i dokaza...
Sa povećanjem poreza i stalnom propagandom laži i straha, većina ljudi će uskoro doslovno moliti zakonodavce i ministarstvo istine da ih porobe radi ''mira i sigurnosti''. I dok se tako mi međusobno borimo i svađamo, oni rade što hoće... izgleda mi kao daju vu, a možda će sve ovo nestati ako samo zatvorimo oči i pravimo se da se ništa ne događa  A možda već živimo u matrixu a da to i ne znamo, kao Neo Za vladajuću elitu uvijek je najbolje proizvoditi nove krize, globalne ili domaće, i stvoriti paniku kod ljudi jer tada ljudi prestaju razmišljati racionalno i spremni su odustati od svojih osobnih sloboda i privatnosti zbog neke tzv. ''više svrhe'' kao što je sigurnost zbog neke velike vanjske opasnosti poput terorizma. Amerikanci su zahvaljujući tzv. borbi protiv terorizma u zadnjih 20 godina uspjeli ograničiti slobode svojem stanovništvu a ostatku svijeta nametnuti puno strože kontrole novčsanih tokova, kyc... Zato im kripto toliko smeta, jer je decentraliziran i ne mogu ga kontrolirati, a mnogi ljudi kroz kripto postaju financijski slobodni a da država tu nema udjela. Vjerujem da ćemo u bliskoj budućnosti vidjeti mnoge zakonske pokušaje strože kontrole kripto industrije, i u EU i u Americi. |

Kampanja za Utopia P2P Ecosystem je jučer završena nakon 3 tjedna. Isplačeno je što treba da bude isplačeno i korisnici slobodno mogu da maknu avatare i potpise. Menadžer kampanje je već najavio da bi uskoro mogla početi nova kampanja: I would like to let you know that the this campaign has now ended however there will be a new signature that will be opened soon. Participants may now remove their avatars and signatures. Nekako je sve više kampanja u zadnje vrijeme na čekanju, je li to neki novi trend? I na žalost, još uvijek ništa za našeg lokalnog šampiona slackovica, a bez njega nam je i lokal utihnuo u zadnje vrijeme. Srećom, pa nam se reikernirao fxsurfer&antikvark pa nam je bar u jednoj temi ovaj naš lokal ponovno živnuo. Barem su nam trolovi dobri za poboljšanje lokalne statistike. |

I'm not sure, France is not the same as it was when they actually won the World Cup. I hope the Netherlands wins this one, even though it's going to be a tough one. Brazil, Argentina, Spain, and many others have such amazing squads, we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Also I reckon the hosts are not going to make it to the next stage even though there's going to be amazing celebrations prepared for them.
LOL.. what makes you believe that Netherlands is going to win the world cup this time? They couldn't do it when they had legends like Frank Rijkaard, Marco van Basten and Edwin van der Sar playing for them in the 1990s. In the next decade also they had key players such as Wesley Sneijder, Robin van Persie, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Arjen Robben, and again failed to win the trophy. And now you are assuming that with useless players such as Memphis Depay and Frenkie de Jong they will lift the world cup? It seems ridiculous to me that the Netherlands will win the World Cup. Robin Van Persie and Arjen Robben were outstanding players. Yet they failed to win the title. Because overall Netherlands team was not strong. And their performance as a team was not very strong. This year too the Netherlands have got some very talented players. The Netherlands squad includes players like Virgil, de Ligt, de Jong and Depay. But even then their attack is not strong enough. A stronger and more stable squad is needed to win the title. I actually feel sorry for the Netherlands. They always had great players and national team and were close many times but never managed to win the world championship. They played in the finals in 1974, 1978 and 2010, they were also very close in 1998 and 2014 when they unfortunately lost the semi-final matches on penalties and always came close to going all the way and winning the title. Unfortunately, every time they lacked something, luck or that famous factor x to go all the way. They have played well in the Nations League this year, but I still don't see them as the main favorites for the World Cup, although they will be a tough opponent for any team at the World Cup. |

In fact, I don’t see anything wrong with this - when an underdog plays with additional motivation (and does not “lose before the game”), it is interesting for everyone - both teams and spectators (the best example is the Premier League). Another thing is that unexpected results in the League of Nations are a consequence of the fact that the favorites do not take this tournament seriously.
By the way, if France loses points again today, then it has a chance to take the last place in the group and go down in the league B. But France is one of the main favorites of the upcoming World Cup along with England.
This competition needs to be put into perspective. As many as 4 rounds of this competition were played in June, after the end of the league season, and many players came tired from a hard season and unmotivated. The poor results of some favourites, such as England and France, in this competition do not really mean much because they do not show the real strength of these teams. The World Cup will be a completely different story and all national teams will come fully prepared, although a big handicap for many teams will be the fact that there will be no time for preparatory matches. That is why these two rounds are actually the last preparations of all European teams for the World Cup and this is currently the main focus of all national teams participating in the World Cup. Of course, nobody wants to be the last in the group and fall into the lower class of the competition, so I believe that France will play a maximum serious game against Denmark today. So you was wrong Another shameful result from France and only thanks to Croatia they kept their place in League A. I don't even know how to comment on this - maybe France is really that bad and will fail in the World Cup? I'm not sure of anything anymore. And I'm more and more thinking that FIFA and UEFA have produced a monstrous inflation in football - too many games, too many tournaments. A significant part of them can be removed and no one will grieve. I still think that France played a serious match against Denmark, the best they could at the moment, but it was obviously not enough to win. It's obvious that France has problems in its game and is not playing at the highest level. Is the reason for this the problems in the relations between the players in the team, about which there are rumors, as well as the problems in the relations between the players and the coach? We don't know the answer, but I wouldn't write France off too soon. It is a very good team with a lot of quality players, and there is still enough time until the world championship for the team to prepare well and raise the level of play. |

By the way, upravo je još jedna signature kampanja pauzirana ili na čekanju: Update:
I was just told by my contact that he left TrustDice a couple of weeks ago but that a new representative would reach out to me. This has not happened yet so for now I'll have to put this campaign on hold as the funds have run out (I was sent funds for 4 weeks at a time).
If this new representative of TrustDice reaches out to me soon we can, probably, resume the campaign but for now you can all remove your Signatures and Avatars.
Nije trajala dugo, nekoliko mjeseci a naravno, možda sve bude u redu i kada se javi novi representative, možda se sve nastavi kao i prije. Hhampuz će sigurno, sa svoje strane, napraviti sve što može da tako i bude. Ipak, ovo je već, čini mi se, treća kampanja koja je pauzirana u zadnjih nekoliko dana. Nadam se da se ovaj trend neće nastaviti. |

[...] I predpostavljam - ako vec nije tako - da ce u svim "sumnjivim" slucajevima obrnuti teret dokazivanja; to jest: ako se sumjna da ti je transakcija sumnjiva onda ti trebas da dokazes da je sve po propisima.  Mene brine ono što je očita namjera zakonodavca, a to je puno stroža kontrola svih novčanih tokova u državi, uključujući i ono što oni nazivaju virtualnim transakcijama tj. kripto transakcije. Država je očito shvatila da se razvija "siva" ekonomija kripto valuta mimo svake državne kontrole i pokušava to ako ne potpuno onemogućiti onda barem maksimalno otežati. Zakonodavci su shvatili da se radi o velikom financijskom kolaču na koji oni žele staviti svoju poreznu "šapu" i izvući što više novca, jer naravno, državi i njenim uhljebima nikad dosta |

Eto, sve se svelo na gambling
A realno, tako je već zadnjih barem 3-4 godine. U analizama foruma od Rikafip lijepo se može vidjeti kako aktivnost na forumu kontinuirano pada već niz godina. Nije to samo problem ovog foruma već svih internetskih foruma. Očito je da ovakav način komunikacije ne privlači mlađe korisnike i da se oni puno više druže na društvenim mrežama. Stariji polako odustaju i rezultat je da imamo sve manje aktivnih korisnika i sve manje smislene rasprave na ovom forumu. Signature kampanje su možda samo malo usporile ovaj proces ali dugoročno se ovi negativni trendovi neće promijeniti. Mislim da nije daleko trenutak kada će i vlasnici i manageri signature kampanja shvatiti da postoje i puno bolji i učinkovitiji načini brendiranja i oglašavanja svojih usluga. |

If you think that Croatia is an old and wasted team today, then you should have watched their matches in the League of Nations The team is rejuvenated and has a lot of new, great players. In 3 games in a row, Croatia defeated France and Denmark, two national teams that are among the 10 best in the world. At the same time, Croatia celebrated away games against France and Denmark, and these are not national teams that easily lose matches at home. When Croatia played 4 years ago at the World Cup in Russia, many predicted that they would not even make it past the group, and in the end Croatia played in the final, fully deserved. In the League of Nations competition, everyone predicted that Croatia would be last in the group and that France and Denmark would fight for first place, and in the end Croatia beat them all and is first in the group. Now everyone predicts that Croatia will not pass the group at the World Cup and that the first two places will be won by Belgium and Canada. I really don't understand why Croatia, after all these great results and successes lately, is so underestimated. A team with players from Real, Chelsea, Inter, Bayern, Tottenham... is continuously underestimated. @Daniel91 If you are talking about my post then you are on mistake I never write about Croatia is wasted team because with current form and situation I am feeling they have enough chance for going into last four they are one of the best team in Europe with their quality and enough skill players after watching their performance in last few matches I am already feeling they could be in last four of this world cup because for me few teams are hyped due to big names and these are not having enough chance for going into last four. If I have personal choice then surely I am going with Croatia and England which are can into last four with most chances this time France is going to lose into quarterfinal, or they have very few chances for going into last four with their inner politics surely they have few very good players those are currently serving in UEFA's top clubs and having good performance as well. No, of course I wasn't talking about your post, but about the previous post by joker_josue, who wrote this comment: Although they are in a tough group, with Canda and Belgium being the expected teams that actually pass to the next round, and Morocco and Croatia staying. We'll have to wait and see though, you never know what can happen.
I couldn't agree with that comment at all and had to share my opinion. I actually didn't have the time or patience to search for the original post so I replied to your post, sorry about that. I agree with your opinion, I'm sorry that maybe it doesn't look like that because of my little mistake I also agree with your opinion about England, but I still think that France is still one of the main favorites of the World Cup, despite the few bad matches recently. |

Although they are in a tough group, with Canda and Belgium being the expected teams that actually pass to the next round, and Morocco and Croatia staying. We'll have to wait and see though, you never know what can happen.
I think Croatia will be able to reach the second place in this group with some ease. Canada even has some difficulty qualifying for the World Cup and I don't see them as capable of being superior to Croatia. So I think that both teams will fight hard to try to be in second place in the group - hoping that Belgium will be first. From this group most chances Belgium and Croatia could be winner and qualifying teams which will be able to go through Canada is not having enough quality to compete with Croatia because they are surely one of the best team in current era and Canada ranked below also having no enough quality which help them to compete with Croatia for me there i no chance for Canada to go through into next round in presence of teams like Belgium, Croatia and Morocco which is also having good players and quality for giving tough time to ranked teams. Canada most chances going to be at fourth in this group with Belgium and Croatia going to knock out stage and morocco is going to be at third spot because they are also better than Canada. If you think that Croatia is an old and wasted team today, then you should have watched their matches in the League of Nations The team is rejuvenated and has a lot of new, great players. In 3 games in a row, Croatia defeated France and Denmark, two national teams that are among the 10 best in the world.

I think Group C is a very easy group for Argentina which I consider one of the big favorites to win the tournament if not the biggest one.Saudi Arabia is the worst team here so most probably it will be eliminated,Poland maybe a good team in Europe but against Argentina they definitely stand no chance at all,if they get a draw I would be extremely surprised.The clash with Mexico I think may offer a level of surprise but I highly doubt Mexico to be a threat for Argentina after Argentina will win the two games against Saudi Arabia and Poland.
All other big teams like Netherlands,Brazil,Portugal,England are all in easy groups.
Argentina will get to the finals most likely and it will be a shock to see them leaving soon. Group stage should be a trip for them. Poland might be the second team to pass unless Mexico performed better. Right now there is many friendlies being played. Of course they don't reflect the right skills of each team but give an idea. For example Brazil chose to play vs Ghana and Tunisia to get an indirect idea about Cameroon. They won with 3 goals to 0 against Ghana and the odds for Tunisia is @16  Brazil is the true challenge for Argentina imo. Personally, I feel that Argentina and Messi were at their peak at the 2014 World Cup when they unfortunately lost to Germany in the final. At the last world championship in 2018, they were very bad and far from the finals. I agree that they will pass the group stage of the competition, but I don't see them anywhere near the finals at this World Cup. I think that the main favorites for the World Cup are Brazil, France, Spain and Germany. |
