Come on now, we are looking for hot, not lukewarm

 

[Live in the Now]

Qatar gets 0 points even though this thing will work in a way where they're blatantly trying to give them points.

 

[GabeTravels]

Portugal implodes because of Ronaldo and they crash out of the group stage.

 

[Vilbers]

Not mine, but here are some hot takes from Samuel Eto'o

All South American final.

Serbia top 4

 

[HajdukSplit]

Portugal implodes because of Ronaldo and they crash out of the group stage.

I’m leaning on this as well, it’s not like they barnstorm through the group phases in the past World Cups either, should have been eliminated in 2018 as well. Think I read somewhere they have only won three matches since 2006 World Cup and one was against North Korea

 

[Pink Mist]

Canada beats Belgium 1-0 in the opening game of the group with a goal in the 80th minute

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Argentina will not make the round of 16.

 

[cgf]

Moukoko will win the golden boot.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Moukoko will win the golden boot.

This one is spicy. I like it.

England wins the final on penalty shootout

England wins the final on penalty shootout

It's been too long since a german kid pulled it off, we're due. Hasn't happened since Müller in 2010 and Klose in 2006.

 

[Tuggy]

Portugal implodes because of Ronaldo and they crash out of the group stage.

I've got this too.

 

[cgf]

I've got this too.

All of you jumping on this bandwagon is making me feel like I should cash out early on my bet that Portugal goes out in the group stages. It's becoming too predictable if it happens

 

[Gecklund]

No one from CONCACAF makes it out of the group stage.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

No one from CONCACAF makes it out of the group stage.

Not a hot take at all…

 

[HajdukSplit]

Enner Valencia golden boot

 

[Gecklund]

Not a hot take at all…

I mean it kind of is. US is probably about as good if not better than Wales/Iran. Canada got f***ed with their group. Poland is good and should finish 2nd but tournament Ochoa is a different beast. Obviously Costa Rica is the minnows of their group. Hottest take there is the US though.

I mean Mexico and US can make it out but it’s not crazy to think they wouldn’t

It's not crazy, but the US are favorites to advance in their group and I don't really rate this Poland team even if Mexico has dipped from 4 years ago. They have some good players around Lewy & Zielinski, but they are disappointing soooooo often.
