THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2018
The most prestigious football tournament in the world returns in a week time (6/14/2018), kicking off with the opening game between Russia the host country vs Saudi Arabia. I will be giving my predictions on the countries i feel will qualify from each group (A-H)......
GROUP A
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Egypt
Uruguay
From this group i think the host country will qualify from this group, the home support should be enough for them to push through alongside them am tipping Uruguay to also qualify they have got two top forwards in Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani both can be classified among the top strikers in Europe. Sorry Mo Salah i just don't think Egypt will make it out of this group along with Saudi Arabia.
GROUP B
Portugal
Spain
Morocco
Iran
This should be an easy group for Portugal and Spain, am tipping Spain to top this group, too much world class players in their team from the newly crowned European Champions Real Madrid we have got players like sergio Ramos, Isco, Marco Asensio joining from Real Madrid C.F. Alongside Andreas Iniesta, Gerard Pique, David Siva, Koke, David de Gea a world class goalkeeper i think Spain is one of the favorites for this years edition. Portugal will qualify alongside them.
GROUP C
France
Australia
Peru
Denmark
Here am picking France and Australia although you've got to be wary of Denmark, they "might" be one of the tournament dark horses.
GROUP D
Argentina
Iceland
Croatia
Nigeria
From this group the two time world champions Argentina should go through alongside Nigeria, Argentina should qualify easily from this group then i think Nigeria's experience in this tournament should see them through, although i can't see them going beyond the first knock-out phase. Sorry Croatia and Iceland cant see them going through.
Group E
Brazil
Switzerland
Costa Rica
Serbia
Should be a smooth ride for everyone's favorite Brazil along with Switzerland, Costa Rica will come fighting but i think these two will make it. Sorry Serbia i don't just fancy them.
GROUP F
Germany
Mexico
Sweden
Korea Republic
The only clear winner here is Germany, i think the rest three will fight for the second place spot, i will tip Mexico to just make it.
GROUP G
Belgium
Panama
Tunisia
England
Belgium have the talents but talents alone doesn't make a great team, am tipping them to qualify. England will struggle to qualify from this group but am tipping them to get the job done and also qualify.
GROUP H
Poland
Senegal
Columbia
Japan
This will be one of the most entertaining group in this year world cup. All the teams here have got almost equal chances of making the cut, so it will be really difficult to pick a clear winner here. But am going for Columbia and Japan, lets hope am right.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!
