Blue and Red are shorthand for political leaning in the USA. Speaking as someone on the Blue side, I'd rather wear a Red USA shirt with allover-print of Trump's cock and balls than this abomination:

Hard to judge for sure against a simple team like Costa Rica, but Spain is super organized... impressive. sketchy.Pura Vida.
Ooooops.
Impressive stuff. every spanish player no more than 5 meters from each other... super organized... the futsal influence shone through.Didn't watch, but the score came across a local news feed... holy frijoles batman!
So far England, France and Spain have put on a solid display. I guess Portugal and Brazil are the last of the true contenders to play (maybe that's being too nice to Portugal tbh... and mean to Uruguay?), we'll see how that first impression goes tomorrow. I haven't been following the Brazil games for some time now so I don't know what to expect. People say the team is really good this year but I won't take their word for it.
Something to keep in mind tomorrow... Serbia is way more dangerous than Iran, Austrália or Costa Rica. Their defense is annoying.
Costa Rica is considered the worst team in the World Cup, except for maybe Qatar. Their Golden Generation is past their prime.
for me, the World Cup is like a Big Mac index. A team is a direct representation of its country and the area they represent.
What little I’ve known and seen, I could see Portugal winning this year. Rinaldo may just will it to happen
also, I have a really good bud named Thibault Courtois (Americanized frenchman) and I texted him “dude Belgium has a goalie with your name. He made a few nasty saves against Canada just now” and my buddy is like “yeah, he only has been the best goalie on the planet for 8 years now, and Belgium’s only redeeming quality” lol
said he has a bunch of stories of people in bars and restaurants thinking he is/was the aforementioned goalie.

Ghana is weak, I don’t think Portugal has a talented enough team to be a real contender (you can’t win a World Cup with Cristiano Ronaldo alone). I’d say it’s between Brazil, France, England and Spain. Maybe Argentina too but that’s a big maybe.
We’ll see how it goes when the big teams start facing each other.
hahaha damn,, World Cup is shaping up nice. I love when there's upsets.
but futbol is misleading, though. For example Spain's 7 vs Costa Rica. Costa Rica is a bunch of old guys, vs the Spanish side which have a couple of young amazing kids so, they made Costa Rica look really bad. But we'll see an actual game when a hurt Germany comes to play against them, needing to win. Next couple of games are gonna be good. Argentina vs Mex!!
but yeah Brazil is like a step above some teams.
for me, France Spain and Brazil are strong contenders...

Total derail but this thanksgiving football lineup may be the most exciting nfl thanksgiving EVarrrr
let’s go blue
let’s go blue
This tournament is Neymar's to own, if he wants it - Brasil are strong all over the pitch and Alisson is the best goalkeeper in the world.
Mbappé and France don't have several key players out from injury, so they can be marked down.
Ronaldo will score and make headlines, but he can't win the entire tournament on his own at 37.
