Morocco or Croatia; either of the other two just makes me feel dirty thinking about it.

Morocco
Pros A team performance against all the odds that epitomises the true nature of sport and how determination can overcome overwhelming odds - a eulogy to the greatness of the human spirit It will mean that the old order of South American or European dominance is finally broken They'd have to wipe the smugness off french faces (whom they've probably not forgiven for how they tried to quell their independence movement)
Cons The 'woke' wankfest if they do achieve it being non-white and non-european

Wouldn’t be surprised if there is some bother in France after the Morocco game, regardless of the outcome.

I'm torn, I don't want the French to win it, but my son stands to win £1000 if they do, it's the final piece in an accumulater he did a few months ago.

A Morocco or Croatia victory (or even an appearance in the final) would embarrass us and further highlight how we are the biggest under achievers on the international football stage.

Croatia, but I really don't bother too much with the teams that are left.

Argentina for me - simply because Messi is the greatest player I've ever seen and I'd like him to go out with a World Cup winner's medal.
Unfortunately, it'll probably be won by the French.

France had a nice bet on them to win at the start

All good spirited as well

A plus point for all of them…in no particular order.
Argentina - Messi gets to go out at the very top, not that he’s not there already! Ronaldo Mark 2 (RM2), can’t quite cope with it all and does a Shergar. Croatia - Modric, the player or the kind of player I always wanted to see playing for us. Unbelievable player and a top bloke by all accounts. Morocco - Greatest upset of all time. France - Pogba (the epitome of everything that is wrong with the modern game) gets to see his mates retain it without him. Can’t quite cope with it all and fucks off with RM2!

France > Morocco > Croatia > Nobody - maybe the team bus of a team of annoying cheats gets hit by a meteor on the way to the stadium

Cons The 'woke' wankfest if they do achieve it being non-white and non-european What exactly is "woke" about celebrating an African nation winning the WC for the first time. Please do elaborate.

It's already been decided, hasn't it? Either Mbapp€ or Messi will win it, and both are sponsored by Qatar through PSG and personal sponsorships. It will be a beautiful moment of Qatari sportswashing, just like Infantino wants it.

In the 70s Pele predicted an African nation would win world cup before the end of the century. That turned out to be bollox but if Morocco won this it might bring him some comfort.

I'd tolerate anyone apart from Mbappe getting another winners medal. I'm due £350 if France win the world cup but id happily lose that money.

Poorly written by me What I meant was that it will awaken the neo-Marxist trope of a former oppressed colony overcoming their imperialist oppressors linked to my point of them being a former French colony

No one.
I hope the tournament is cancelled due to heavy snow.
It’s depressing when we lose.
