I would love Portugal to win the tournament.
But Brazil has a higher chance of running away with the trophy. Brazil is the best team and also the team to contend with in this year’s world cup.
I wish CR7 and MESSI best of luck as this might be their last chance to lift the trophy
I think the world cup won’t leave up to is expectations due to the timing, and the league’s are still ongoing. Is a COVID affected world cup..lolz but is world cup, the biggest trophy in football the world most stand still and enjoy it.
