On a different note I'll try place the relative strengths in each Pot.

Pot 1 - Germany, Brazil, France, Argentina, Portugal, Belgium, Poland, Russia
Pot 2 - Spain, Croatia, England, Uruguay, Mexico, Switzerland, Colombia, Peru
Pot 3 - Denmark, Sweden, Senegal, Iceland, Costa Rica, Egypt, Iran, Tunisia
Pot 4 - Nigeria, Serbia, Morocco, South Korea, Australia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Panama

It's always subjective, but that's partly why it's fun.
"Let us hear the conclusion of the matter, Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. "

Here is my prediction

Portugal
Colombia
Sweden
Nigeria
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

That thing is bool-sheet. It had England beating Denmark in the final to become world champions. :rotf:

Egypt beat Brazil in round 2, Sweden beat Argentina, and Poland knocked out Germany in round 2! :shock: 7 of the 8 QF teams were from Europe, and Spain did not get out of the group phase. Nonsense.

I keep getting favourable draws. To be honest, as long as we do not get Spain in Pot Two, we will be fine. It is a travesty that Poland is in Pot One and Spain is in Pot Two.

Not certain. They'll draw the position also.

In 2014, we met the seeded team Argentina last.

From what I can see, we will need another giant-killing act of this magnitude:

1998: Nigeria 3-2 Spain
2009: Nigeria 1-0 France
2018: Nigeria 4-2 Argentina

At least this time we are preparing, not just hoping.

I wouldn't doubt that. Except for Tunisia, I truly feel that the African teams will give a good account of themselves. My only concern is for the North Africans and their usual stage fright when facing their lighter skinned cousins. Algeria's performance last time around should hopefully give them the conviction that anyone can win given the right outputs.
