I agree with pretty much everything you said about the teams but I think this is not England’s year, team lacks depth, if the party boys of 4 years ago had a better attitude, better manager and the WAGs topi drama was kept out they would have been a formidable squad, currently i dont know. I am an england supporter, but dont think they have what it takes. holland may have a better shot, but couple of injuries or foul troubles and they run into massive trouble.
Brazil got an ugly style now, but its the international version of the chosen one’s style I guess..designed to win not to entertain.
I think this year its a much more level field compared to previous years..
France could be a contender but you nailed it domenech is horrid, how he can not destroy the likes of ireland with the sheer amount of talent at his disposal i dont know
would love to see african nations make some noise this year
