So, Giannis is not playing for Greece which drops them in my opinion behind Italy in this part of the bracket. We still have a chance to reach semis, we just need to take care of business against weaker teams in the group stage and beat Italy to be 1st in the new group. If USA cruises to 1st place in their new group we could play against Greece or Lithuania for SF spot. We couldn't ask for much easier draw. Second part of the bracket is much tougher. But there will be surprises for sure. Teams without superstars and without much practice, anything could happen.

Lithuania also isnt in good status, they have a lot of absences and internal problems. Serbia could reach SF

ps please, don't tell me that :ITA in the top 4 would be a big surprise if we look at how's the situation of all the teams we have to face en route to reach that target (basically, :SRB to avoid the :USA in QTFs first and then :GRE or :LTU in the actual QTFs) :rolleyes:

 

oh, f*ck! I wrote it! just jinxed our (slim) hope! :facepalm:

Getting Murray back would be huge for them. I think he would be more important for them than SGA. So far Barrett has impressed me the most. I think he can/will be a force against most teams (other than the US). Yesterday he looked much better than Franz Wagner, who will probably be one of the best wings at the tournament.

France is there, but they lost two players and besides weak Lithuania team really didn't have a big test in prep matches. They would need to go over Canada and Spain for QF spot. For now, i would take these first two teams.

      It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.

      Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position

      Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt

      Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.

      The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle

      This is absolutely ridiculous. If you aren’t willing to celebrate Pride then you should simply not come to Seattle. You have to respect local customs.   https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c208392884jo
