can belgium win the world cup? +1400

[vasilli07]

Ivory Coast.

Of they could play defense they would be legit.

They are powerhouse only on paper. Their so-called golden generation have choked at all the african cup of nations and world cups that they went to.

I don't think people really understand how difficult is to win a World Cup. Has anyone done any research to see what were the odds on past winners? I'd bet no team with more than 10 to 1 odds has ever win it. Do your homework.

Thats why we have odds.

i think i remember seeing that uruguay in 1950 was the longest odds ever to win the world cup, ironically that was in brazil as well. its usually chalk, longshots dont even make the final.

It was the EM, but remember Greece 2004. 150:1 odds.
Or the major upset 1954, when Germany did not only make the final, but also won against the best team ever.

But: I agree, longshots have 0 chance this year.

I know about Greece in Euro 2004 but the World Cup is a bigger tourney. You have 32 teams instead of 16 teams. You have teams travelling thousands of miles in other continents in unfamiliar weather or stadiums. There are many variables making it harder for a long shot to win the World Cup than the Euro.

[packerd_00]

Ivory Coast.

They've not done much in the WC even with Drogba in his prime.I'd say Ghana is the best African Team.

[RubberKettle]

Only 3 teams can win this world cup boys

Argentina
Brazil
Germany

replace Germany with SPAIN

[zizoudane10]

Zero chance is bullshit. However, I am not happy with my team. Löw is a laughable idiot of a coach. Period.

Brazil
Spain
Italy
Germany

These are my 4, in that particular order. I don't like Italy as a team. And I hate the football they play. But they are hard to score against, and they are an experienced team that is able to show up at a tourney.
Brazil doesn't even have such a great team. However, this is their tourney, their country, and their Fans will push them big time.
Spain: They haven't lost one percent. Guys can say this again and again, doesn't make it true. Hard to score against when you don't have the ball, and they are easily good enough to put one in every game. Simple as that. Plus their coach is great.

Major upsets: I don't see any. France, Portugal, England can reach the semis with a lot of luck. And that's it. Argentina may reach the semis, but imo they have nothing. Lots of individual offensive weapons, no army though.
Chile is the team that might surprise us all with a deep run.
It isn't the time for Belgium now. Maybe in 2 years.

Argentina are always very overrated come WC time,I wasted money picking them in the past two WC

[zizoudane10]

Yep.
They have a slightly better chance this year, just because there will be lots of their own fans at the games, but other than that....

[zizoudane10]

Funny how I forgot Netherland btw

[vasilli07]

Beside European and South American nations, which nation/nations do you guys think will have the highest chance of reaching the quarter-finals?

[MakePwithMe]

have the highest chance of reaching the quarter-finals?

italy

[vasilli07]

italy

Are you trying to tell me that Italy is not in Europe?

[zizoudane10]

Beside European and South American nations, which nation/nations do you guys think will have the highest chance of reaching the quarter-finals?

Honestly? None.
If I absolutely had to pick one from each continent I'd go with Ghana, Mexico/US (can't decide), Japan. Algerie might be a dark horse here, talented team...

[MakePwithMe]

south korea hands down worth it

easy group

most adaptable to conditions

less pressure

actual up & coming talented players

[MoneyLineDawg]

US is better than Mexico but Mexico has a much easier road to qualify....I would also go with Ivory Coast over Ghana because Ghana is also part of the group of death....Plus Ivory Coast has a really impressive attack, on paper anyway

[zizoudane10]

I am not sold on Portugal, they tend to collapse under pressure, so I do see underdog chances for Ghana/US here. Mexico lacks killer instinct, but on a good day they might beat Croatia. Ivory Coast.... well, attack is good to great, yeah. Plus Yaya Toure is one of the best players of the world right now. But it's an extremely unbalanced team - their "worst" players are really way way way worse, than their "best" players. I don't see them passing the group. BUT; I agree, that their group is pretty well balanced. Colombia should be safe, but all other 3 have a shot.

[vasilli07]

I will be going with Nigeria. The only real strong team in their group is Argentina. They should be favs against Bosnia and Iran. If they qualify, they will face either France, Switzerland, Ecuador or Honduras.

bosnia minus money to advance, nigeria plus money

Can't really disagree with much here....I could easily see Ivory Coast/Colombia advancing but you're right that Greece and Japan could be in the mix as well....I really don't see Mexico advancing but Croatia and Cameroon don't impress me either

As far as Ghana/US....I also think one of them can definitely steal a spot but it's just hard to pinpoint either US or Ghana as the team that will get it done. If one of them does advance they could certainly make some noise and cause some teams some problems....I'm obviously a US Soccer Homer but I'm cautiously optimistic about our chances for some reason.....Just love the squad under Klinsmann as he has completely changed our culture/mindset and has added so much competition from within for every player

[Big Bear]

good stuff. You guys clearly know a lot about soccer.

i will be looking forward to your plays for the World Cup.

[packerd_00]

Yep.
They have a slightly better chance this year, just because there will be lots of their own fans at the games, but other than that....

If Messi doesn't show up to play they won't stand much of a chance.

[packerd_00]

I like Ghana and South Korea,Japan might surprise.

No chance for England, I don't think they will qualify from the group stage.

Value? I take it you are American?

None of these teams will win the world cup, not even come close

[allang198]

i know besides spain no european nation has won outside the continent but this belgian squad is stacked from top to bottom. they could field 2 teams. its probably rigged for brazil to win at home considering they are only +310 to win it deespite having an average brazilian squad. belgium used to be a darkhorse but no longer are. they were once +2800 to win it now only +1400. probably end up not making it out of the group

Dont take this the wrong way mate but you dont have a clue!

Belgium have drew with Wales and Ivory Coast, Lost to Japan and Colombia in the last 6 months.

And you think they will win it?

[caveira]

Yep.
They have a slightly better chance this year, just because there will be lots of their own fans at the games, but other than that....

Brazilians hate Argentines, no matter who they play, they will always have the fans against...
Brazilians will support Portugal and Italy (if Brazil is not playing).

[Big Bear]

I don't think people really understand how difficult is to win a World Cup. Has anyone done any research to see what were the odds on past winners? I'd bet no team with more than 10 to 1 odds has ever win it. Do your homework.

you are correct.

Italy won it in 2006 but they were 17 to 2 odds i believe.

[SixFigures]

Lol @ everyone forgetting about Uruguay. They made the semis in 2010 back when Suarez was with Ajax, Cavani with Palermo etc now they are all better + It's in South America... (but depends if Suarez is fit or not)

Uruguay >>> Belgium

[Big Bear]

anybody like dis parlay

America not to advance -310

South Korea to advance +160

Chile to advance -120

risking $500 wins over 2K

[Vaughany]

Not after seeing how south korea played against tunisia
