In reply to the discussion: World Cup 2022 [View all]Baggies
(666 posts)46. I'm leaning more towards France to win it all.
Mbappe is just too quick and too athletic.
If one of the semi-final games is Brazil v Argentina, it could go either way. Argentina loves to play Brazil because they want to prove they aren't just the other good team in South America. Brazil hates playing Argentina because they know they're going to get a game and nothing will come easy. So I'm still up in the air to who will make the Final. But I'm feeling pretty good about France.
Of course, any of these games can always go either way. I'll throw out some picks for the Quarters before Friday knowing full well I might get it completely wrong.
