So you're not on the Belgium Bandwagon, either?

I guess if you follow the PL, you're looking forward to the England/Belgium clash...

Yeah. I have to watch on mute when A&M plays there.

I’d put vuvuzelas at 1a and state at 1b, because state is just one game every other year and the S. Africa WC was a weeks long event. However, both can diaf.

I always pull full England. Haven't considered them a rival for well over 200 years.

I hope Harry Kane does the impossible and leads England all the way.

Hot take.

Jamie Vardy will score more goals than Harry Kane, and England won't leave the group stage.

Someone has to win the WC, and it's not going to be the USMNT.

Personally, the three teams I like (besides the US) are England, France and Belgium.

I'd be happy if any of those teams win. I will be unhappy if Germany wins again.
