[Moncherry]

The only thing I'm going to predict is that this tournament will be a complete shitshow, on and off the field. The location, scheduling and fitness of the players will surely impact the outcome of games. I gather we will see something akin to Korea/Japan in terms of shocking results.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Brazil over Uruguay in the final. I was between picking Brazil and Argentina to win. Don’t think anyone else is close to those two, especially with the France injuries.

I thought Brazil had the stronger team. Wrestled with the Messi fairytale ending to his international career and their recent form, but I decided to choose the team I think is better.

Player of the Tournament: Neymar
Leading Goal Scorer: Neymar
Young Player of the Tournament: Musiala

[Future GOAT]

Probably Brazil.
