You seem to be struggling to understand the difference between South America winning 41% of World cups in that time, and the implication of them being present meaning a 41% reduction in other team's chances of winning one. It doesn't. When Brazil were good, it doesn't follow that Argentina...

This doesn't hold up to any scrutiny. Only 3 nations outside Europe have won the World Cup (and only 2 since 1950) so I don't see how it's that much different to the 16 team Euro 2004 that Greece won.

My point is that this isn't the case unless you really think Japan (or Canada or the USA or whoever) are genuinely that far behind say Switzerland or Serbia. I don't think they are at all. I mean Japan won't win the thing but nor will those nations. But at 400/1, funnier things have happened.

Freak results happen. Italy were 1/5 to beat North Macedonia last week and Italy are European Champions. Man City were 1/16 to beat Sporting Lisbon at home 3 weeks ago. That doesn't mean City won't feature in the Champions League shake up. France drew 0-0 at home to Luxembourg in qualifying...

Yep. I just looked at the odds on Unibet. They've still got Japan at 400/1 yet have priced Switzerland, Serbia and the USA all at 80/1. If I wanted to waste a fiver on an each way bet, Japan is the only bet I'd make of those 4 teams.

They are now through. I doubt you'll get 400/1 anymore but they look no worse than many mid-ranking European teams who will be about 50/1. They looked excellent at times and really should have won far more comfortably.

USG are not going to thank us for taking him and Undav off their hands next season.

He f**cking DID! Last minute!

Currently watching Australia v Japan in a massively important game. Aus need to win their last two to qualify automatically, otherwise it's the playoffs for them. Half time and 0-0. Japan look FAR classier and have hit the bar twice and missed another presentable chance. Australia have had a...
