[Football] Who do you now want to win the World Cup?

[El Presidente]

I’m team Alexis now. Never thought I’d see an Albion player hold the trophy in my lifetime so it’s the best of the worst for me.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Argentina first, Morocco second.

 

[Seasider78]

Argentina for Alexis and for Messi to win the World Cup would cap an unbelievable playing career

 

[Me and my Monkey]

I'd like Alexis to lift the World Cup, of course. But it would inevitably be all about Lionel bloody Messi, which would bore and annoy me to tears. So Morocco, I think - wouldn't that be fantastic?

Argentina. Put my money on them before the tournament

 

[talk2knighty]

Croatia

Despite the Brighton connection I can't support Argentina in any way. France should get through to the final and lift the Cup as they are the most gifted team left of the four, but if Argentina don't match up skills wise in a game we all know what is going to happen. Expect the cynical and dirty side that they often revert to when they are up against it.

For all his virtues Messi is not averse to putting the boot in or faking a foul when needed. there is a rich vein of spite that runs through Argentine football and I expect them to be shameless in their pursuit of glory.

 

[Yes Chef]

Argentina. Couldn't give a shit about Messi, but would love Alexis to win it.

I also put my money on them after their loss to Saudi Arabia

 

[horshamite]

I think Ukraine might struggle.

 

[Rookie]

Never thought I’d say Argentine but having a Brighton player say he’s won the World Cup would be amazing. Throw in the Messi factor and it’s a no brainier

 

[portlock seagull]

Argentina or France for me.

Argentina all the way, just not for Messi, but mainly for Alexis.
As he started on the bench ( I think), and then has kept his place in the Argie team playing alongside the flea.
I hope he scores.
Albion has got to have a WC in the team.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Argentina easily for Mac Allister and the greatest player who ever lived in Messi.

 

[El Presidente]

Argentina easily for Mac Allister and the greatest player who ever lived in Federico Turienzo

Coreected for you.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Morocco. Always back the underdog.

 

[Kosh]

Croatia for me, for Modric - who is a brilliant, brilliant player

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

France

 

[Justice]

You are assuming we all wanted England to win the World Cup.

 

[Justice]

Croatia for me, for Modric - who is a brilliant, brilliant player

The Burnley of international football, no thanks.
