FIFA World Cup 2018

They'll be alright, although it'd help my bets if they keep up this form.

I think I'm gonna put a couple quid on Lukaku top scorer, Son to score goal of the tournament and some other random long shots.

Lamela to get detained for smuggling coke 2/1.

Spain to win the tournament, Griezmann top scorer and England to be knocked out in the quarter final - 400/1

Spain to win the tournament, Salah top scorer and Egypt to reach the quarter finals - 2000/1

At least one goal scored in every match in the tournament - 80/1

Spain to win the tournament and Panama to score the least goals - 66/1

That's it so far. I'll probably do a decent amount on one or two teams to win the tournament and Lukaku top scorer closer to the tournament. Some of the above are outsiders but it's the world cup, you never know. Hadn't even realised I'd backed Spain in so many (did these about a month back). I'll do a couple of more serious safe bets before the tournament starts.

[Gazz]

Leroy Sane, he of 15 league assists this season, has been cut from the Germany squad.

[Arjen Robben]

That is an absolutely absurd decision.

He should be in easily over any one of Reus, Draxler or Brandt.

[Baddar]

Wow.

[The Lusophone]

It shouldn't be that surprising. He was terrible for Germany against Austria recently and in 12 caps he's contributed zero goals and just a sole assist for the national side. For a team with so much depth, his performances at international level have been nowhere near good enough.

[DavidMarrio]

Imagine having players that you can not include in your world cup squad like Sane, Naingollen, Lacazette etc...

Whereas we struggle to decide whether Loftus-Cheek or Livermore should go the World Cup...<_<

[Arjen Robben]

Nainggolan is more because Martinez doesn't like him isn't it? Imagine he'd walk in to the starting lineup, never mind the squad under any other coach.

Jonjo Shelvey is our Sane.

[Meacon Keaton]

No Ameria. No Ivory Coast. I have no idea who to pull for this time around.

[Gazz]

Iceland obviously.

Yeah, I was thinking them and Costa Rica, actually.

Saudi Arabia. The characterful underdog.

I'm anti-WWE so I feel like it would reflect poorly on me to root for such a country.

Flashbacks intensify

[Gazz]

I mean, he could support Poland on the basis that it's almost inevitable that they will knock England out in the second round. Myke might even mail him over some pickled cabbage to welcome him into the brotherhood.

[Lineker]

Neutral's choice: who are rest of the world supporting at the World Cup?
