Finals

France def. Argentina

France gets revenge for 2022 and Mbappe establishes himself as the 2nd best World Cup player of all time, only 2nd to Pele.

Was close to picking Norway over Brazil and Mexico over England. I could see those upsets happening. Spain vs Portugal is a toss up even though Portugal haven't looked that great. They were my preseason pick so I wanted them as least making a good run. France and Argentina just feel like the two best teams once again by a solid margin.

I'll copy your predictions but swap Spain for Portugal and Columbia for Switzerland. Mexico is a dark horse who can honestly send England packing.

I'm listening lakers idiots trying to figure out how you can win a title with fat ass Luka as your best player. You can't. He a Mavs fat ass loser.

Messi making more history. The Aussies choked big time.

Shakira is at the game in Miami looking fine as can be. How could the father of her children cheat on that woman?

Mexico is a dark, dark, dark horse.  They will find a way to lose.  I predict England beats Mexico.

Millions dollar question.  I’ll take all the crazy with that woman and double down.

I know very little about soccer, but I have been watching them.  I haven't found them to be a good enough offensive team to beat England.  I hope they win though.

Cape Verde deserves all the flowers for taking Argentina to FT + ET and only losing by 1.

Bro getting up at 4am to watch Australia play terrible was so disappointing. They went 3 matches without even scoring a goal, lucky to even make it out of the group stage tbh. Anyway, that's about all the soccer I want to watch, I'm not a big soccer guy lol.

Mexico playing at Azteca is very tough. Historically, England finds ways to lose also. I'll take Mexico at home.

I went to the game. Honestly, I expected Australia to have more supporters. The ones that showed up, represented well, but it seemed like it was 75% Egyptian supporters.

For some reason, a lot of the Aussie fans were at watch parties in Texas, instead of at the actual game. Not really sure why tbh lol.

Colombia is so much better than Ghana.

England will find a way to lose later in the competition.  Mexico doesn’t have a Harry Kane to save them.
