Re: 2018 World Cup Challenge
Sorry i missed out on this. I put real money on the following:
Russia match 1: $40
France to win cup: $10
Belgium to win cup: $10
England to win cup: $10
England to win its group: $20
I think France and Brazil are the favorites, but obviously a lot can happen. France have the most talent though, and the most depth, so I went with them. Belgium have longer odds but are also talented, and will score.
I’m actually quietly impressed with Southgate, and think England go into this in a decent place of mind. I also think a number of their players have benefited from the Pep, Klopp, and Poch mentoring. I don’t really think they will win, but liked their odds on winning the group better than those for some of the other big teams.
