is it? then i guess brasil (due to Neymar) and Portugal (due to Ronaldo, if he keeps playing) will be the finalists? (everyone hates them now haha)

Did all the teams you support end up getting eliminated?
 
Don't support Portugal please.

I like good football so it's not difficult to be able to appreciate Messi and Argentina and still cheer for Portugal or Ronaldo  (although the last one has become less likely, would prefer him to enjoy retirement now)
 
P.S - Going back is probably gonna happen for retirement only. There are still too many things i like better in this cold and tasteless orange country compared to the things i still dislike in Portugal

I say this with the best of love! Hehe

I was about to say I was of course kidding and hope you stay here, but 'cold and tasteless'....ouch  

Messi is incredible. I really hope we can see an Argentina vs Brasil, those teams are unstoppable this world cup when they play their best.

btw this is mostly me with Greece btw, still not recovered from the trauma of 2004 haha

Portugal vs Switzerland is gonna be an equivalent to Morocco vs Belgium haha (there are a lot of Portuguese immigrants in Switzerland)

I think many of the groups have been exciting, but some teams clearly didn't belong. I think with teams like Italy or Sweden the quality would have been ever better. Also not sure what happened to Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Chile. All those nations used to produce lots of good players. I think in 2026 the quality for sure will be worse, but everything else (atmosphere, conditions, performance of the home team(s)) will certainly be much more enjoyable. Hopefully european federations find a way to prevent a repetition of this disaster (Saudi Arabia 2030), but i don't have high hopes (given that they didn't even have the balls to agree on the softest kind of protest this time).

Offcourse you cant be completelly objective as a Portugese, but i respect your POV. 
I still think that Portugal should beat 95% teams no matter what also, it could be that i overestimated them.
Next days will tell...

Australia as an asian country, Israel "expelled" to be an European country, not sure if I would classify that as normal haha
