They may still pull it off, but I don't see a 7-1 dismantleing of Brazil happening in the same fashion as last time. france is also another interesting one. Between greizman, pogba, that striker from psg, and konte, they look stout. Does ribery still play, ole scar face is always fun to watch.

France have a very interesting squad of players.. Lloris, Varane, Umtiti, Kante, Matuidi, Pogba, Griezmann, Martial & Mbappé.. a very strong team. But I don't think they'll get past the semi finals. Franck Ribery retired from international football following the 2014 World Cup.

I think Germany are going to be the strongest team, it'll be close but at this stage I find it hard to look past them:

Neuer, Boateng, Hummels, Kroos, Draxler, Sané, Gomez & Wagner.. all very very good players.

Then again.. Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Marcelo, Fred, Coutinho, Paulinho, Fernandinho, Willian, Douglas Costa, Neymar, Firmino, Gabriel Jesus... scary team to face.

I agree but I think Germany is Brazil's kryptonite. Germany is strong all the way through but especially defensively. Brazil has a strong D but not like that, the Germans have a potent offense that will thrive in counter attacks or possession base so Brazil has to get up early on them and avoid playing from behind if they go against the kraits. At least that Is my take on them.

Brazil has a lot flashy names but I'm never that impressed wat hung them play as a unit.
