November 16, 20222 yr Well then, all eyes will be on France to see if they can break the "Champions curse" and with much reported apparent disharmony among the squad and injuries to key players (Pogba, Kante, Varane) this will not be easy pickings at all for Les Bleus. Denmark I think will win this group, perennially underrated. Fun fact, this is almost identical to Group C from the last World Cup, only switching Peru to Tunisia.
November 17, 20222 yr On paper, it feels like France should get out of this group fairly easily. But we all know how the holders usually fare!
November 17, 20222 yr I think France will have enough to top this group even if they've dropped off since 2018, it will be very close at the top though! My prediction: 1. France 2. Denmark 3. Australia 4. Tunisia
November 18, 20222 yr I think Australia will come last. I’d love it if we somehow got through though.
November 19, 20222 yr So that's number 1 and 2 from the ballon'dor not playing at the World Cup through injury.
November 21, 20222 yr Denmark had the beating of France at the Nations League recently and I have a feeling the injuries to France will mean that continues. I don't think the Champions Curse will strike again though as Tunisia & Australia don't look like being capable of getting through. 1. Denmark 2. France 3. Tunisia 4. Australia
November 22, 20222 yr Really impressive performance from Tunisia. I’m glad the ref went over the VAR and didn’t overturn his original decision. That would have been an incredibly harsh penalty.
November 22, 20222 yr Shame we got a 0-0 but hopefully it's out of the way now and there'll be no more! Given how good Tunisia were, I think the Champions curse could very much be back on.
November 22, 20222 yr Best goalless draw I've seen in ages, so much drama! Tunisia wouldn't have deserved to lose that.
