But it's all nonsense. The teams that win the WC hit the ground running and pick up speed
They may have an odd poor game but only 1
The best team wins
The 2nd best team gets beat by the best team
The 3rd best team loses to one of those 2 and so on
The team that will win wont have stumbled out of the group stages like mackem leaving the pub
THEY will have qualified easily
So you can forget about
Spain
Denmark
Mexico
Sweden
Japan
Colombia
The other factor is not how many goals scored but goals conceeded
WC winners have less that a goal a game scored agaist them
So you can forget about
Switzerland
Leaves
France
Brazil
Belgium
England
Croatia
Russia
Colombia
Knock out non Europeans and the the Host nations
France
Belgium
England
Croatia
One of teams will win
One of the others will make the semis
and one more will make the quarters
