I knew Dunga would get humiliated after he left Ronaldhino off the squad when he still had a bit of juice left. I said that would come back to haunt him.
The odds on that bet were ridiculous btw.
I had Spain winning that final from the getgo.
4 years ago I had Germany-Argentina world cup from the beginning. I said Argentina would win.
It's honestly all about the rosters.
That's the only thing that matters.
It's actually pretty easy to see who will be there at the end.
A lot of guys are overrated. Guys who have played for England for exmaple in the past. Ppl overrate these guys based on club stats and shit. Lampard and Gerrard and Terry and Rooney was never a scary squad. All of those players were all stars, but none were superstars. None could single handedly take over an international game like ROBBEN.
Germany has several superstars and numerous all stars.
France lost Payet. Easily their second best player. I do not see them winning despite the fact they're one of the favorites.
Some people don't believe in players, that winning is about other things, but that's what it comes down to at the end.
That's why Germany beat Argentina, they just had more talent.
That's why Spain won the world cup that year.
Did anyone see Spain's roster prior to the tournament started?
It was a really easy pick based off that. Hall of Fame players literally everywhere. You had ALL STARS COMING OFF THE BENCH on that team bro.
Gonna take a look at all the rosters after the NBA finals. Shouldn't be too hard to spot a team that'll be in the finals.
Funny... ppl been taking Brazil every 4 years on this site. Need to take a look at that roster. Was an easy decision last 2 times to say they'd lose.
Germany vs. Brazil last time? Was prolly the easiest bet in history of soccer. Can't believe that game was like a PK basically. Called that it would be a shit show
