No Nainggolan for Belgium is crazy but I guess the coach isn't a fan. Spain also leaving out a few good players who could/should have gone. The squad of world cup rejects is going to be quite talented.

I like how Platini casually admitted to rigging the 98 World Cup brackets so that France and Brazil only meet at the finals lmao.

The amount of proven corruption totally delegitimizes this sport. It is basically one step above pro wrestling at this point.

LET'S GO CROATIA

I am not Croatian at all, but I've been rooting for them since '98 because they made the World Cup amazing.
If not them, Germany behind them, because 7-1 against Brazil, #neverforget.

I'm gonna say Brazil are my strong favourites to win this year. Their current squad is quite top tier, and the players are on form.

Leroy Sane wasn't selected in the Germany squad.

I can't even begin to process that.

To be fair, he usually plays well for the national team. As an Irish United fan though, I'm well aware of his foibles

True, but Sane could walk into the England starting XI with his eyes closed, and he couldn't make the 23-man Germany squad.

England need a complete overhaul of their youth systems to hope for a shot at winning anything in the next 15-20 years.

How Young player of the year and one of the most unplayable players on his day is left out of the squad is beyond me.
I understand if he does not fit the system Low wants to play but can at least have him on the bench as a wild card.

I can understand Reus over him but brandt ? really ?

I agree with that, hard to look past them at the moment. As for Sane.......I don't know. Unless Brandt is better defensively/tactically or Sane has underperformed for Germany there is no reason you don't pick him.
