I think what matters is team cohesion more than what teams people play for, evidenced by the numerous "top" teams who have crashed out. I think Belgium play well together and have good team spirit from my limited viewings of them.

That's fair enough, but I've not seen anything from them yet to suggest they are one of the favourites. But to their credit they have managed to find the wins when they didn't look like doing so. Their 2nd round opponent is going to be a big step up from this group though and I don't see them going further than that. Just think people have overrated them due to the number of recognisable players.

Like the look of Mertens though. One of the standout players so far for me.

Would love see an African team win it this year

been hoping to see them at least make the final last 2-3 world cups but they don't give a fuck. They just come in to have fun and chase individual glory.
At least the semis someone ...?

Second place is wide open but all the teams are poor

It is strange watching this WC with a completely open mind without a care about who should win.

Well thats what we were saying before Tone, when your national team and also the team you despise most are out- Its like realising that theres no life after death- Nothing to hope for but nothing to fear either- You can get on with enjoying life. 🙂

No.
Even Wrighty can't feign interest.

Son Heung Min is such a brainless player, doesn't have any idea when to pass or shoot. Prefer Campbell over him by a significant margin

Heh, not a single woman seen among the Algerian fans...

Algeria to go through as it stands, may even top.
