The men's football competition is always strange and unpredictable to me, because the squads are by definition suboptimal. I have no idea who will play in the Olympics, even if I regularly watch football.

 

Either way, France and Brazil seem inevitable with the level of talent available in their countries. I voted Mexico for the 3rd medal, because I wasn't particularly impressed with Germany and Spain in the recent U21 Euro's. I can imagine countries like Mexico and Japan will give higher priority to the Olympic squad, while Spanish and German eligible players such as Ansu Fati, Pedri, Havertz, Musiala, etc. might not be in their respective squads.

Brazil, France, Japan.

I'll just hope it's not too different from adult football and go with some big-name countries  

[phelps 6,933]

my pick: Japan (because it's the Host Nation and most likely the only one who's gonna take this tournament seriously), Argentina (because of their tradition in Olympic football and because the Country is always in my heart) and Mexico (I don't really know why...I just like them)...

So France has the 2nd highest votes. The chances of France making quarters is less than 30% after today's draw and semis less than 5%. Not like their close either way behind in U23 squad.

Why aren't these options in alphabetic order?

Well I just type  the option I remember then crosscheck if I left any. Usually 1 favourite is on the top then others randomly jumbled. Very soon the options will start having a twist of their own.
