I'm thinking France might miss out. Sweden has a very good youth side now. The players will be matured enough for the later part of the qualifiers.

The Dutch always have good teams. Except for in the 1980s.

Duque de Bragança

Traitor! :mad:

He should have sported a Salazar t-shirt.

I wouldn't be surprised if he started doing that after the WC. Kind of hard to blame him, really.

New German away jersey. Even hipsters would despise it, according to early comments.
Twitter generally unimpressed.
