For me its the following brackets in order:

 

Brazil/France

England

Argentina/Portugal

Netherlands/Croatia

 

No idea where Morocco goes, they're a wild card.

I feel we’ve all underrated Portugal here, their team is very strong. They have a very good defence with perhaps the best defender in the premier league (Wout aside) at the heart of it. Their midfield is solid and their attacking options are ridiculous. Sprinkled in with some Liga NOS flair then they’re pretty formidable.

Big Dan Amartey is not Portuguese

I think this is the order of favourites 

 

1 France

2 Brazil

3 Spain

4 England 

5 Portugal 

6 Argentina

7 Croatia

8 Holland 

(9 Morocco 10 Switzerland expect them to be off the list by tomorrow 9pm)

Mine now I'd say is this...

 

1 - Brazil

2 - France

3-6 in any order - England, Argentina, Portugal, Netherlands

7 - Croatia

8 - Morocco

Watching this, I really think it’s going to be England. We’re the only team who could break down stubborn defences. 

Not with a back five which will no doubt be upon us soon

Not a chance will Southgate do that. We can beat France, and now Brazil are gone then there’s nothing really that can stop us apart from ourselves. We’re the best team left in it.

It's a typically unpredictable World Cup. I think if England beat France I'll have the belief it's doable but France favourites for me now.

 

Could actually be a France Croatia final again.

I’d love to see England lift the trophy. It’d give the nation a bit of a lift when, let’s face it, we so need it.

I want us to attack the French and show how our very talented players, can actually play.

I’ll be so so disappointed if we set out to just stifle them and go down to a boring, Mbappe late winner. 
I think we have a real chance this year and so want to see us play to OUR strengths, rather than to try to nullify theirs. 
Mbappe yes.. he’s brilliant and has to be controlled. But bollox to the likes of Griezmann etc. He’s well past his best. Same with Giroud. Mark his aerial prowess and you mark him out the game. 
My opinion of Southgate will be made or broken on this game. I so hope he has the balls to go out and win it, rather than to not lose it. There’s a world of difference

Absolutely agree with this. Total repeat of 2018 for me with France winning it again. Argies are going through tonight and Croatia will have them on toast. There's an outside chance it could be a Portugal - Croatia final too and I'd make a Portugal slight favourites there.

We no the answer to that already there is no way he sets out to take chances and attack france he defends and hopes to get a goal on break

Southgate will play the only game he knows. I don’t feel he’s dynamic enough to play to our strengths. Yet I wouldn’t bet against him and us.

England - with Harry Kane and Harry Maguire calendars flooding the shops for Christmas 

Harry's face in every street in England. For months.
