The World Cup is down to the final 8 teams, so seems like a good time for a poll.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Voted France.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Voted for the underdog, Vikings. But I know France is likely to win.
Awarded 17 Zoupa points

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Yeah my vote is contingent on Argentina accidently losing before the finals :P

Morocco or Belgium.

France are the best team in play, no question.

The best team doesn't always win, but they're favorites.

Voted France, because I have not seen any better teams.

Fact: England has only won the World Cup under Labour governments.  :bowler:  :lol:

Fact: 3 out of 4 times Norway's qualified have been under the Labour party's minority governments (1938, 1994 and 2026).

A France vs. England final would be cool. We will probably get a 2022 rematch though, I hope for the opposite result.

Harold Wilson's line: "have you ever noticed that we only win the World Cup under a Labour government?"

A performative northern Prime Minister leading a Labour government strongly buttressed by a woman from the Labour left with a shock of red hair - and a World Cup too. Maybe we will have a Harold Wilson summer :lol:

I very much doubt it, but it'd be nice. And since Southgate came in (so 2018) England have won more knockout games in major tournaments than they had in the previous 70 years and dispelled a few curses too (like winning a penalty shoot out). I don't think he's a particularly good coach but I think he was a phenomenal manager who basically reset the entire culture of the team (which I think Tuchel has continued and evolved).

I think France. I've not seen anything from them that suggests many vulnerabilities. They look very strong, they're playing for Deschamps, there's a bit of (as Roberto Martinez always talks about) footballing arrogance that's irresistible about them.
Let's bomb Russia!

France are the only team that are particularly good right now.
The other traditionally decent teams are all at a low ebb.

Was it on here that I read the theory Brazil is dead and never coming back now they've moved into a pay to play academy direction?

Main thread. And necessarily dead, just not pretty.

Sheilbh blames protestants, which I can get on board with :lol:
