In my opinion Spain is the favourite but France's ceiling is slightly higher than Brazil's thanks to their individual quality. So with an optimal performance they have a good opportunity to win the tournament. On the other side, France has also a bigger chance to get knocked out quite early if you compare them to Brazil and Germany.

 

Joking aside, Iceland has no chance to make the last 8.

I'm all in for a new champion (Japan and Iceland are my sentimental favorites, as well as any team from Africa). But I voted for Brazil because I jinx every team I vote for, and I want Brazil to lose as soon as possible so people can forget about football and keep our focus on improving the political situation around here.

In my opinion there are four teams which are clearly above the rest (Brazil, Germany, Spain and France) and coincidentally these four teams are all place in the groups in a way that if they all win their group they will avoid each other until the semifinals. That means that the likelihood of an outsider going all the way to the semis due to very easy opponents (Uruguay 2010 says hello) is relatively low. Still I expect at least on of the four teams to fail earlier. 

The 2nd tier of this tournament is relatively weak as Italy, Netherlands and Chile all would have been there had they qualified. Now I only have England, Belgium and Argentina in that 2nd group although I guess you could include Portugal, Croatia, Colombia and Uruguay in that group as well. 

All in all Brazil are my favorites. I think they are more talanted than Germany and Spain while not having France's issue of not being a strong unity

So 5th World Cup for me... And will keep supporting DEUTSCHLAND!!!

 

But to be honest I don't really care about who will win anymore.. When they won in 2014, I didn't even celebrate lol.

If only Germany won in 2002/2006/2010, I can see myself partying like for 3 days straight.

Still not a single vote for :ARG That´s quite a shock for me :mumble: Now, I can not find the reason..Just a Classical Fearing of jinx :p or simply am I overestimating them so much as one of the top favorites ?

No, I think people just don’t see them winning, but more likely getting 2nd, 3rd, or 4th

We don't have any chance.

    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
