LDOG 2,199 Posted February 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Pools for the Men's World Cup: A - B - C - D - We were handed the worst pool unfortunately, with the hardest teams from band 3 and 4 (Spain and France). All the other pools have at least one clear "weakling". Pool winners go straight to QF, 2nd and 3rd placed teams advance to a pseudo Round 16.

I assume our comeback in the World Cup after 27 years will be a very short-lived one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe we can beat Belgium. I think Group D is Group of Death My predictions Group Winners - Group Runners up - Group 3rd place - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, with Malaysia and Pakistan you never know. It could be either Group of Death or the easiest group for the top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are the host, I believe we would beat Belgium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George_D 873 Posted July 28, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Favourites for the gold here are Australia, Germany and Netherlands? I wonder what India can do at their home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDOG 2,199 Posted November 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 28, 2018 The world cup has started with a belgian victory over Canada. A little preview... Pool A: for me the most contested pool. I don't know how our team will perform under the new coach, so that's a mystery for me. Good or bad performance wouldn't surprise me. New Zealand is always very hard for Argentina, but don't think they will go far this time. France is the best team from the lower tier and in my opinion they won't leave with 3 losses. Spain has potential to be the surprise of this WC. Pool B: straightforward pool. Australia should be 1st, England 2nd, Ireland 3rd and China 4th. China is the weakest team in the competition. Pool C: two strong teams and two weak teams. India and Belgium will fight for 1st place. Since they host I favor India, also Belgium hasn't been great last few tournaments. On the other hand Canada should beat South Africa for a place in R16. Pool D: another interesting pool but in my opinion not as contested as pool A. Netherlands and Germany are clearly above the asian teams and should fight for 1st place (Netherlands is also my top favorite to win the competition). For 3rd place we will have probably the hardest match to predict in all the pool stage: Malaysia vs Pakistan. Pakistan IMO has better players but their preparation was a disaster and they have changed 2 coaches in the last 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like how every single skeleton or bobsled stream ever gets completely taken over by Latvians.
