They are dang good. Fellaini, Witsel, the Hazards, Batshuayi, and Januzaj are all dang good. Not many teams are as talented. Spain, England, Germany, maybe France.

You didn't even mention their best player

Kevin DeBruyne. They are loaded are every position except FB... I think that's an area of concern for them.

This is true. Gonna find out a lot in the group stage against England. Panama will be no push over either.

I think they have a chance but ofcourse Germany, Spain, France, and Brazil will be favorites as they should.

Both solid picks ofcourse and they could win it for sure. I would throw Spain in there and maybe England. Portugal with Ronaldo can always win. Belgium is talented tho do not overlook them.

They certainly have the talent but they need to put it all

together when it matters. They got embarrassed 3-1 by Wales in the quarters of Euro 2016.
France is another one that's loaded but never seems to perform at the level they are capable of.
I'm going with Brazil.. they've been the best team in the world over the last couple of years.

Lots of talented teams this year. Germany, Spain, and Brazil always seem to be teams that could get it done. I think England has a good chance. Gonna be fun to watch them and Belgium in the group stage. I like Ronaldo so I will be pulling for Portugal. Wonder if Salah can carry Egypt. He and Suarez square off in the first game of their stage.

I think Salah and Egpyt can advance- that's a really, really

weak group. I think that was more corrupt FIFA BS putting the host Russians in the weakest group in the entire tournament. Uruguay is pretty good and should win the group easily and i don't think Saudi Arabia really has a chance to do anything so that should leave Egypt vs Russia for the 2nd spot. Russia's squad is pretty much garbage (has been for 2-3 years now) so i like Egypt's chances unless Russia rides the home field advantage.

Completly agree. I sure hope Egypt gets them but I expect to see a red card against them if it comes down to that game. Russia will not want their team to be out in group stage.

FWIW these are the odds to win the tournament
Jun 13, 2018, 9:41 PM

for the most relevant countries.
Brazil +400 Germany +475 Spain +650 France +700 Argentina +900 Belgium +1100 England +1600
I could realistically see any of the top 6 winning the WC, but i don't really think anyone below Belgium is capable. Getting to the quarters and then losing to either Germany or Brazil (depending on whether they finish 1st or 2nd in their group) is about the best case i can see for them.
