@windowintlpod I saw them live a few times in qualifying and they’re seriously decent - very well drilled. Would be surprised if they don’t go through!

@LiamBCPFC We were a championship team when he joined. It’s been a great 5 years whether we’ve won anything or not.

@MrSammyJames Benfica is a massive, massive club. It’s a huge opportunity for him, especially somebody that is Portuguese - let’s not pretend differently please…

[James @ffcabroad]

@KatViWO @EllynBriggs No problem! You’re my 2nd team!!

[James @ffcabroad]

@sspencerukk Need one win to not get grouped - I think we’ll be ok

[James @ffcabroad]

@fergonzalezp77 @EllynBriggs @DiegoArcos14 Yeah sure! I’ll do that

[James @ffcabroad]

@EVanDyk @EllynBriggs They only lost twice in qualifying though so I’m not sure that point totally stands. Their CBs are genuinely world leading and I really do feel like this will be a cagey WC

[James @ffcabroad]

@lilimdq2 @EllynBriggs Nor are Argentina TBF. Reckon you’ll have a poor WC (and this is coming from someone that loves Argentina!)

[James @ffcabroad]

@staysulty @EllynBriggs 2 of the best centre backs in the world in a hot WC that is likely to be cagey. Will suit defence minded teams IMO.

[James @ffcabroad]

@PrissyMissyyo @EllynBriggs They lost twice in qualifying and drew with Morocco and Netherlands recently. Their 2 centre backs match up with any in world football. They are an OUTSIDE bet to do very very well. This is not that outlandish imo

[James @ffcabroad]

@yourbuu @EllynBriggs Is anything I said wrong? Next week the champions league final could very well feature 2 Ecuadorians - both in defence.

[James @ffcabroad]

@mekncl @EllynBriggs @barcelonha76 As an outside bet they’re a good option. Beat Argentina recently, drew with Netherlands and Morocco the other month (who everyone seems to think will go far…)

[James @ffcabroad]

@johnathon13356 @EllynBriggs I’d be genuinely surprised if they don’t come top of what I think is one of the weaker groups.

[James @ffcabroad]

@ChinChinGinn @EllynBriggs I’m from England 🤣🤣

[James @ffcabroad]

@TheGreatBambe2 @EllynBriggs As an outside shot there aren’t many better options. Their defence is insane and can see this being a very cagey WC which will suit them.

[James @ffcabroad]

@hendoeffect @EllynBriggs They’ll beat Curaçao and it’s unlikely you’ll need more than 3 points to get out of your group - so they 100% will get out.

[James @ffcabroad]

@PrissyMissyyo @EllynBriggs I’m from England but thanks.

[James @ffcabroad]

@rafalkot @EllynBriggs Drew with Morocco and Netherlands in past 2 friendlies too - they don’t concede many!

[James @ffcabroad]

@LandoTWT @EllynBriggs We’ll see …
