@Picklebobble2 I'll put a 100 on Croatia then :-)

@Dobsdobs I'd say it's worth a punt !
The top four all have aging squads and it'll be interesting to see if they can last the whole tournament.

Personally i think this could be a really open tournament this year !

@Picklebobble2 Ya the openness of it is what interests me this year. Absolutely no firm favorites this time.

@Picklebobble2 I think Argentina are massively overvalued.

They have the best stock of forwards in the world but can't play them all at once. Their defenders and midfielders are average.

The biggest problem is that they have a coach who is committed to a style which doesn't suit the players. He did great with Chile but you can't play a pressing game when you have slow players.

@Burnley123 I agree. One of the factors that influences their odds i think.
Could be a really open tournament with a few surprises.
