How does France have more quality than Brazil?

 

- the goalkeepers are pretty much the same level.

-Brazil has better and more secure CBs.

-in full backs is even but only because the best from Brazil are injured.

-Kante is a bit better than Casemiro and Fernandinho, but they are probably the best and second best in the world of that position.

-Paulinho and Coutinho are much better than Matuidi/Pogba.

-Neymar is better than Griezmann but Mbappe is better than William.

-Both Jesus and Firmino are leagues above Giroud.

 

All considered it's very similar with an slight advantage to Brazil in quality.

 

I don't agree at all...Neymar is only good in acting and diving and complaining...

he shouldn't even be allowed to put a foot on the pitch...he's just a living insult to football and sportsmanship...:pope:

sorry for being so harsh...actually, a real hater...but I just can't stand him...:dunno:

Well Japan is partially responsible for Senegal being out, so yes, a Senegalese referee would probably be happy with Japan for that since it's good for his own tournament. 

 

I don't get why, since he could have refereed any other round of 16 match. That's only one match less.

Few people in Brazil can. Mostly those brainwashed by media, but anyone with passing interest or no interest at all in football hates him just as much. His actions outside the field are also questionable. He's a notorious tax evader and this has become a sort of ongoing joke combined with his theatrical performances.

Like the other top players that have played in Spain? :p

since I don't know him personally, I can't afford to say anything about him off the field...but on the field...well, that's another story...and as I just wrote, he always gives me such a bad impression...it's stronger than myself (it's the same with LeBron James in Basketball, for instance...with the difference being that nobody can deny that on the field he's definitely the best player in the world, meanwhile I can't say the same for Neymar)...

I don't know much about Spanish players, but all I know is that Brazil is insane. I was supposed to receive income tax refund and somehow I got screwed and instead I had to pay tens of thousands of reais in taxes. It's sick and revolting, and I'll have to hire a lawyer to fight against this absurd. Neymar was supposed to pay millions of reais in taxes, evaded payment and the federal government will probably forgive his millionaire debt if the team wins the World Cup. Absolutely disgusting. I can't cheer for a country that screws honest people and at the same time turns a blind eye to millionaires.

    • As far as I am concerned, there are two very simple problems: infrastructure and the lack of cooperation between sports federations. Let me explain. The MiCo2026 Olympics will provide virtually no legacy in ice sports, there is still a lack of an indoor hall, there is no federal centre that has been promised for so many years. It could have been an opportunity to make a nice roof in Baselga di Pinè, but instead they preferred to make temporary facilities in Rho.   The second problem is the total lack of cooperation between roller skating and speed skating, we have a huge pool and we are not exploiting it. Fortunately we are doing a few small collegiate events, the technical collaboration with the Netherlands absolutely must be exploited.   I am not so negative however about the current situation, Ghiotto practically on the 10k seems to be off the scale (watch out for the Czech and Norwegian) and he can medal in the 5k and drag the pursuit team. In the mass start you have more cards in both the men's and women's, let's see what Fontana does. And a Fontana-Peveri-Lollobrigida pursuit team can also play for a third place
    • Canada Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (13) - That's been the team size the last couple of Olympics so it's a safe bet again. Cross Country Skiing  (10) - Not too familiar with the qualification system. Probably around 6 men and 4 women. Ski Jumping  (5) - Loutitt, Strate and Maurer for sure on the women's side. Possibly a 4th will qualify. On the men's side, if Bowd-Clowes returns, then he should also qualify. Nordic Combined  (0) - Been a nonexistent sport for a while. No athletes competing in the World Cup or Continental Cup. Freestyle Skiing  (32) - Should qualify a team in mixed aerials which means a maximum team size of 32 athletes. Which athletes in which disciplines to be determined. Snowboarding  (24) - Full teams in slopestyle and big air. Then somewhere between 1-4 athletes in the other disciplines. Biathlon  (6) - Based on the Nations Cup last year, the men finished outside the top 20 and wouldn't qualify a relay team (and that's without Russia and Belarus). With Christian Gow's retirement, that makes things even more difficult. Women's relay should still qualify though. Ski Mountaineering  (1) - Gonna be optimistic here and say that one athlete will qualify either through the World Rankings or continental quota.     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (16) - 7 to 8 men, 8 to 9 women. For now, I'll say 8 of each gender. Short Track Speed Skating  (10) - Full team size. With the current skill level of the team, anything else would be a tragedy. Figure Skating  (12) - Most likely 1 man (I hope) and 1 woman, then 2-3 pairs and 2-3 ice dance couples. For now, let's say 2 in pairs and 3 in ice dance.     Sleigh Sports   Luge  (7) - 2 women + 1 entry in each of the other disciplines Skeleton  (4) - 1 or 2 men + 2 or 3 women Bobsleigh  (14) - 2 men's crews (in both events) and 3 women's crews (in both events)     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Full team or else you might as well burn the federation to the ground. Ice Hockey  (48) - Both men's and women's teams already qualified       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (229) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (184)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (214)
    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...
