****Soccer is the Greatest Sport on Earth In-Game****

I also feel the Italy line is insane

-400 to qualify!!! Even if the game was in Italy I would not make it that high

Game is in Bosnia. HUGE pressure for Italians. They missed the last 2 World Cups

Italy just beat a super weak Northern Ireland on home soil. Now going away to a good team with crazy fans
 
Both Italy and Turkey might win but I don't expect easy wins

Bosnia and Kosovo both ex-Yugoslavia countries where players are nicknamed the Brazilians of Europe

They also benefit from players growing up and playing in countries like Germany or Switzerland, then choosing to play for their parents nation of origin. So tactically they are quite good

Kosovo qualifying would be big, they only became a fifa member in 2016
 
Very random. I was just scrolling and found this stat and I thought it was for sure fake, but it’s not.

In 54 matches for Man City, Mario Balotelli had one assist. One. The assist to Aguero to win the title.

If this was common knowledge I apologize.

Italians neighbors have just come home it's very quiet...! Noisy when they win

But nice guys. I almost wish they had won, a little sad for them

90s and 2000s the names mentioned were strikers. They also had top top defenders like Nesta Cannavaro and plenty other I forgot the names

Too many average or just good players now
 
Might watch some of the friendlies starting soon

USA - Portugal
How does Portugal not win this easy. Friendly you never know but let's say 3-1 Portugal

Croatia - Brazil
Guessing 1-1. Ancelotti said they need to fix the defense. Croatia always a solid team

Not getting 3 pts against Aussie will be the abrupt end of the Poch era

Australia likely to finish 3rd or 4th but they don't seem too bad! Lately wins against Cameroon, Japan, Saudi, Canada. And usually fun to watch at World Cups

The USA group is the one I'm more interested in with no clear favorites. And home team USA with big improvement needed soon in time for WC. Will they be galvanized by the home crowd or too nervous. It will be great!
 
Still bonkers to me that Norway has the 9th shortest odds to win and the haven't been in the WC since the '90s (?)
